Shared Experience
Your experience
Olives from Bari, taralli and canapés with grilled vegetables
Fresh, handmade cavatelli with octopus ragù
Homemade tiramisu
Hello, I’m Fernanda, your Cesarina in Bari, with the art of semolina in my hands and the sea in my heart! I’ll welcome you into my kitchen for an authentic experience discovering the flavours of Bari. We’ll start with an Italian aperitif accompanied by Bari olives, taralli and canapés with grilled vegetables. We’ll then prepare a creamy tiramisu, which we’ll leave to set in the fridge whilst we get to work on the fresh pasta. We’ll get our hands dirty making traditional cavatelli, which we’ll serve with a fragrant octopus ragù. Finally, we’ll sit down to enjoy our creations together, accompanied by a glass of fine local wine, in an atmosphere of genuine Apulian conviviality.
Fernanda was an amazing host and great teacher. She welcomed me and my mother into her home for a private cooking class where we learned how to make orecchiette, brasciola, and a jam tart for dessert. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bari. Grazie mille Fernanda!

Fernanda, Franco and Sara welcomed us into their home and we had a fun time! Food was good and we got the idea of making the little ears in the end!
Thank you for a nice afternoon.

we spent and amazing afternoon with Fernanda, Franco and Sara. we went for the pasta experience but left with much more. we spent out time cooking, drinking greta wine , laughing and singing together to lyrics from Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, and old Italian favorites. we went for Pasta but left with memories, love and Barisian hospitality. After all its all about Amore with Fernanda. Bellissimo !!!

I booked this for my boyfriends birthday as I wanted to do something unique for him since he’s half Italian and loves to cook at home. We made fresh pasta and even tiramisu that was soooo delicious! Fernanda, her husband Franco and her niece were so kind and so funny. They really made us have a great experience and I really enjoyed all of their company! Would totally recommend anyone to do this as you truly get an authentic Italian experience!
