In 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.

We had an amazing cooking class / experience. I am so glad I did not chose one of those large classes inside some building. This class felt more like visiting old friends. Warm and kind. We learned more than what I signed up for. Highly recommend a class with Filomena (Cesarine). Would love to do it again and again.

Excellent!

Filomena was a gracious host! She welcomed us in her home like we were family! Showed us how to make several different pasta's, Egglant appetizer and Tiramisu. We sat at her beautiful outdoor patio and enjoyed a delicious home made pasta, with sausage and mushrooms. It was sooooo good! Can't wait to make it when I go home. Her daughter Antonella was adorable and loved hearing how the young adults live in. Puglia. I would recommend this cooking class to anyone! Ciao!  - 

Filomena and Antonella were amazing. Not only was Filomena a fabulous host and teacher she welcomed us into her home and made us feel right at home. her daughter was a gem! The instruction and the 3 course meal we prepared was excellent. I cannot wait to get home and make it all over again. Teaching us to make three pastas exceeded our expectations as well. Great Pulia experience, Bravo! 🇮🇹
