- Focaccia
Focaccia is a mainstay of the local culinary tradition: crispy outside, soft inside, it is always a pleasure to enjoy. You can season it with oil and oregano or experiment with local ingredients. In my house, my father's favorite was with onion, raisins and powdered crusco pepper-an explosion of authentic aromas and flavors. Perfect for snack, lunch or dinner, focaccia always conquers. You'll be surprised to discover how easy it is to make. I'll be waiting for you at home to knead it together and have a tasty and wholesome experience!

- 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
- We had an really nice experience with Filomena and her daughter. Me, my wife and our 4 year old daughter learned how to make tagliatelle, ravioli and tiramisu. The overall experience was relaxed and fun 😁
- Really nice workshop!! We enjoyed it very much and we had a very good teacher. We loved the food!!
- My husband and I had a great time. It was just the 2 of us, Filamena and her delightful daughter. We learned several pasta shapes, 2 sauces, bruschetta, and the most delicious tiramisu. She grows her own herbs, olive oil,the wheat was recently harvested and everything was fresh. She also provided a sampling of fresh local made cheese, meat and red table wine. She told us about the area with love. It was really good. Meeting them and sharing a meal on her terrace was a highlight

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.
