"Come to my house to rediscover the aromas of good and traditional food that are synonymous with happiness."

Such a wonderful experience learning to make 3 different types of pasta! Stephania and her momma were wonderful and full of knowledge. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and tasty time!

Stefania and her family were so wonderful and welcoming, we had such a great time learning how to make gnocchi, ravioli and spaghetti, all under the watchful eye of her and her nonna. Stefania then prepared a fantastic lunch for us using the pasta we had just made. It was really lovely to be welcomed into their home to share their wisdom with us in an intimate group, would 100% recommend.

Stefania was an amazing teacher and welcomed us into her B&B to learn how to make three types of pasta in the kitchen area on the first floor. From the beginning, she was welcoming and warm, and was very patient with us as we ate our aperitivo of tomato bruschetta, black olives, and sparking rose wine upon arrival that she prepared for us. About 30 minutes into the class, we started making the pasta, with Stefania’s mom demonstrating for us in a third station at the table. We made the dough, rolled it, and shaped it into two types of hand made pasta, and for the third we used a spaghetti guitar instrument to make the noodles. Stefania happily adjusted the menu for our dietary restrictions (dairy free and pine nut allergy) and made a tomato sauce for the first two types of pasta and a green zucchini sauce for the spaghetti. We only wish we could have made the sauces with Stephania for a more hands on experience beyond the pasta portion. Stefania and her mother cooked our pastas and served us each two plates, which we ate alongside the remaining wine. We were done in about 2 hours and used the remaining hour we budgeted for the class to walk around Polignano a Mare. If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun, and educational experience close to Polignano a mare or Monopoli, we definitely recommend this class! Thanks Stefania!

We had a wonderful time with Stefania and her family! It was lovely to make some traditional food from the Puglia region, particularly the orecchiette. We enjoyed tasting the local wine as well! Wonderful to be joined by Nonna too!

We had the chance with my grandmother to cook with Stefania and her grandmother as well. We loved the course! They were very charming and welcoming! We learned how to make gnocchi, ricotta ravioli and spaghetti! It was very fun;) Stefania then cooked them and served them to us. We enjoyed ourselves. Can’t wait to do the recipes at home. I recommend this beautiful experience without hesitation! Maëlle
