More than a cooking class :) - We really had a fantastic time at this workshop, which goes much more beyond cooking to more an exploration of culture and history. Everything was very welcoming, attentive and personal

Magnificent experience! - Simona is an excellent hostess and has organized an experience right at her home, in a trullo 🤩 In addition to teaching how to knead and make orecchiette, she took us on a journey into culture and customs: she even danced the pizzica and brightened the evening. An experience that I carry in my heart as one of the most beautiful of this 2024. Thanks Simona!

Did not meet our expectations, with the rave reviews we expected something different. Especially for this money ......../ - Fantastic hostess with lovely stories about the pasta and trullo, but price quality was not proportionate. Nice group and lots of laughter.
