Shared Experience
Your experience
Discover how to make authentic panzerotti, a delicious symbol of Southern Italian cuisine. Whether fried or baked, with a classic filling of mozzarella, tomato and ham or with local ingredients, panzerotti win everyone over. In this cooking class, I’ll guide you step by step through making the perfect dough: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. We’ll cook them just as we do on our summer evenings, whilst waiting for the cool of the evening, and then enjoy them together outdoors on the terrace. Accompanied by a beer or some excellent local wine and tastings of typical local produce. An authentic experience, filled with flavours, laughter and tradition, so you can take a piece of southern Italy home with you.

- We had a lovely evening with Filomena and het daughter Antonella! They both were very friendly and welcoming! The preparing of the food was fun and joyfull! The products were all local and biolocical. Filomena told us a lot of the products and her own garden with Olive trees. We made fresh pasta and sause. We also made a toast with local wine, very good! And she gave us her home made limoncello! We talked all evening, Antonella was a lovely 15 year old girl, practising her English with us. We reccomend it to all of you when you are in Matera! Thanks Filomena and Antonella!❤️🇮🇹
- A must do in Matera or surrounding areas!! We were warmly welcomed into Filomena and Antonella’s gorgeous family home with incredible views of Montescaglioso. To begin we enjoyed fresh delicious aperitivo, and then began cooking our meals, which consisted of four types of pasta shapes, two sauces and tiramisu. This was honestly some of the most delicious food we have ever had! Filomena is very accommodating for any dietary requirements and gave me and my partner a mix of vegetarian and meat to suit us both. She is very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about local Italian cooking, as well as the traditions of the surrounding areas and local places to visit. We finished the night with homemade creamy limoncello to top off the fantastic dining experience. Thank you so much to the both of you for an incredible evening!
- We had a super, wonderful cooking class with Filomena near Matera. A warm welcome in her beautiful home on the terrace with sparkling wine. Then, step by step, we ventured into making tiramisu. A good workspace for everyone was provided. The tiramisu was very easy. Afterwards, we made the pasta dough and various shapes of pasta. Filomena explained everything great and had a lot of patience. Cooking with her and two other guests from the USA was great fun. Then we were pampered with wine, appetizers, and our homemade pasta. To finish, the delicious tiramisu, plus extra sweets and limoncello from Filomena. What wonderful hospitality. Thank you very much. A unique experience. Sonja and David / Switzerland

- Really nice workshop!! We enjoyed it very much and we had a very good teacher. We loved the food!!

Cesarina from 2025Location: Matera (MT) Languages: Italian and EnglishIn 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.
