Cooking class: learn how to cook Italian recipes and taste the dishes prepared during the lesson
Private Experience
Private experiences are reserved for you and any guests you have booked for: no other people will be added so that you can enjoy maximum privacy.
Your experience
- Welcome appetizer with various snacks (chips, peanuts, and local olives), prosecco (or non-alcoholic drinks for children), taralli accompanied by cheese and salami, stuffed focaccia, fresh seasonal fruit
- Ravioli stuffed with ricotta, nutmeg, sugar, and lemon zest
- Coffee Tiramisu
We'll have fun together preparing the traditional ravioli of the Matera region, following a traditional recipe handed down from my grandmother. The result? Soft ravioli filled with ricotta, nutmeg and lemon zest, served with a tantalizing sauce that's great for bringing out the taste of the pasta.
Each step will be done by hand: we'll prepare the pasta using ancient tools like the rolling pin and dough board. A gastronomic adventure perfect for those seeking authentic Italian recipes!

- We had dinner at Bruna’s house with her family and it was our best experience during our trip to Southern Italy! They were so welcoming and created such a special evening for us! And the food was amazing: typical local Basilicata food, Bruna showed us how to make the frizzuli pasta, authentic parmigiana and other lovely dishes! We can only recommend including a dinner at Bruna’s whenever you are in Matera!
- My 3 children (ages 19, 15, 13) and I were welcomed to Bruna’s family home for a pasta and tiramisu making lesson. We found them to be very warm, kind and patient. It was a very authentic experience and we came away with a much greater appreciation for the country and its traditions. I would recommend this activity for any family also seeking a unique and authentic Italian experience.

Cesarina from 2023Location: Matera Languages: Italian and EnglishI love cooking, especially first courses, ranging from lasagna to more elaborate and sophisticated timbales, to our traditional Matera baked pasta, a truly exquisite dish from our region made up of local products, from cheeses to cured meats, and our beef meatballs. In my kitchen, I use locally-sourced products, working with dairy and employing seasonal vegetables cultivated nearby. Another element that never fails in my cuisine is the preparation of savory pies, influenced by my Neapolitan roots, such as Casatiello, and those typical of my region, like Torta Pasqualina, a rustic pizza made with shortcrust pastry, young cheese, salami, and eggs. Desserts are also indispensable, including fig jam, chocolate and almond tarts, and an amazing (according to others) Sacher Torte. All dishes are always accompanied by Lucanian wines.
