- Katia and her family were extremely warm in welcoming us into their beautiful home. The delicious food was fresh and had a personal touch. The aubergine and tomatoes were straight from the garden, and the balsamic vinegar/olive oil/amaro were made by the family. We ended the meal with a delicious homemade tiramisu. In spite of our poor Italian the conversation flowed. We learned about the region and left with full stomachs. 10/10 can't recommend highly enough.
- È stata una bella esperienza, Katia e suo marito mi hanno fatto sentire una di famiglia, ero a Lecce per lavoro da sola e ho pensato di fare questa esperienza la sera invece di cenare da sola , Katia mi è venuta a prendere e mi ha riportato in centro dove alloggiavo, ho imparato a fare 2 tipi di pasta, assaggiato molte cose nuove e il loro fantastico olio! E sta un occasione per imparare ma soprattutto per stare in compagnia di belle persone e buon vino! Grazie Katia! Super consigliata!
- Katia, Gregory, Angelo and the whole family were extremely welcoming and very passionate about their food. Even Nonna Rossi helped in the kitchen. Everything that we ate was delicious and super fresh. They grow all the vegetables and even make their own olive oil and vinegar. Their friend Mauro taught us how to make fresh mayonnaise (aioli) and it was delicious. This is an experience that we will cherish forever. They are wonderful people. We 100% recommend this experience.
- We had a wonderful evening with Katia and her lovely family. From start to finish it was inviting, warm and comforting. Almost all the ingredients were sourced from their own home gardens and you could really taste the love put into the food in every bite. We mostly spoke to Katia and her husband Gregorio in French, their son Angelo speaks great English. From the hand made pasta to the legendary tiramisu, we ate so much and so well that we could barely breathe. We even got to meet her in-laws who brought by some some hyper local digestif to enjoy. If you have the chance to book this experience, don’t hesitate. If you’re looking for the ultimate in Salentine traditional cooking, look no further.

The food prepared was incredible, almost all the ingredients were sourced from their own home gardens in the region and we could really taste the love that went into every bite. We spoke French with Gregorio & Katia while Angelo, their son has excellent English. We even got to enjoy some hyper local digestif with Katia’s in laws who came by. If you have the chance to book this experience, don’t hesitate! I only wish I could’ve been eaten more without the threat of passing out.
