- We had a great night with Valentina! Cooking was fun, simple local ingredients and delicious. We felt very comfortable and welcome in her families beautifully renovated home in Bari old town. The evening was very relaxed and informative with great conversation about the local area, local food and places to visit. A trip highlight, we highly recommend!

- Valentina is an excellent and warm host. We felt her genuine hospitality as soon as we walked in her home. She is very patient with her instructions. What is also interesting is she injects side stories on the history of the recipe, including her personal experiences. We left her home with the feeling that we have a new friend in Bari.
- Valentina was the consummate host who provided us with an extraordinary tour of the markets and streets of Old Town in Bari and then topped it off by instructing us on how to make Cavatelli, orecchiette and tiramisu. Our lesson was followed up with a wonderful meal she prepared in her lovely home. She was wonderful and if you have a chance to experience her cooking class, you should not miss it.
- Valentina was fantastic! She speaks great English and was personable and helpful! I had the best time and the food was delicious! Can’t wait to come back and have another class. Thx Valentina
