Your experience
- Orecchiette
- Gnocchi
- Tagliatelle
As a child, I learned to transform water and flour into many different types of pasta, with imagination and love, as if it were a game. That kitchen was my first real cooking class: stories of life intertwined with shared dough. Today, I invite you to relive that same magic: we will get our hands dirty to create orecchiette, gnocchi, and tagliatelle together, which we will enjoy topped with seasonal local products. All this will be accompanied by tastings of local specialties and typical wines, for an authentic and convivial experience with a taste of home.

- Filomena and her family are absolutely wonderful ,so kind and welcoming. I had difficoluty finding other cooking-classes as Im traveling on my own and they Need two people to book. Filomena allowed me to book and attend on my own. Filomena welcomed me, made time to teach and share with me.
- This was an amazing experience! Not only was the food the best I've ever had but the hospitality was beyond amazing! It's such a great environment and all the food was so fresh and delicious. Would recommend anyone to come and try!
- We had the best time and learned a lot too, a very top highlight of our trip to Italy. Filomena and her family were so welcoming and lovely. We loved learning how to make pasta from Filomena’s family traditions, but even more we loved the connection and lovely meal together. I’m so glad we booked this for our last evening in the area.
- We absolutely loved our cooking class with Filomena! During the lesson, we prepared spinach ravioli, fresh tagliatelle, and a delicious tiramisu. It might sound a bit bold, but it was honestly the best food we had during our entire stay in Italy. Filomena and her family were incredibly hospitable. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations of what a cooking lesson would look like – we felt more like family members than just students. Please note that the class doesn't take place in Matera, but in Montescaglioso – a charming small town about 20 km away. It is definitely worth the trip, and I recommend asking Filomena about a pickup if you don't have a car. Highly recommended!
- We were quite excited when ringing the bell at Filomenas house, cause this was the first time we attended a dinner experience at someones home. We couldn't have felt more welcome. Filomena and her family was so nice and warm! We learned how to make fresh tagliatelle, just like her mother used to make it. Both she and her daughters were really helpful. And the result accompanied by her own tomato sauce and typical sausages from the region, tasted very good! Filomena had prepared several kinds of antipasti before we came. We also helped cut some lovely local cheeze. All the dishes were really nice. We appreciated this fantastic opportunity to have dinner together with Filomenas lovely family and learn about local traditions! It's fantastic when people open up their homes like that. Our very best recommodations! ❤️

Cesarina from 2025Location: Matera (MT) Languages: Italian, English, SpanishIn my kitchen, I use only top-quality ingredients, carefully chosen from local producers, and prepared with attention, using the "star" ingredient—our extra virgin olive oil, produced with passion and dedication. I don’t have a single dish that represents me because every day of the year brings a different specialty, created based on the seasonal availability of ingredients and what’s fresh at the moment. The one ingredient that never misses is love—the love I put into preparing and serving each dish, to offer an authentic and unforgettable experience.
