Authentic Salento family experience - Enza and Antonio (along with their daughters and pets) are fantastic hosts. You can feel at home with them, as they are totally involved and involving in their at home cooking experience. We spent a wonderful evening in their beautiful garden, socializing, cooking local orecchiette , but most of all sharing good vibes and memories. It surely Is a "to do" experience if you are in Salento. We recomend It as to locals as to tourists and visitors.

Great experience with Cooking Love - From the minute we walked into Enza and Antonio’s beautiful garden, we knew it was going to be a great evening. Enza and Antonio were so hospitable and my family of 8 felt like we were visiting family. The pasta making was so much fun and the food and wine were delicious. It was the perfect way to spend our last night in Puglia with our kids. I would highly recommend this experience. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing experience - Enza and Antonio made their home available to our group and hosted a beautiful evening. From start to finish, they entertained us with a beautiful charcuterie plank and an Aperol spritz, making the pasta for our dinner… Enza prepared our pasta dinners and Antonio added the wines! All was delicious!! An unforgettable evening.

Memorable Cooking class experience in the Lecce-Carigliano area - A memorable experience cooking pasta with Edna, Antonio and their daughter. We learned how to cook orecchiette and macaroni. Not only they shared their most precious family cooking tips, but they opened their house and gorgeous porch and garden to us. We eat, we drank great wines, shared stories and had fun! At the end of the night, there were some surprises but we are not going to spoil them. Rather go and check it yourself! I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful - The experience was very enriching, not only on a culinary, but also on a human level. We were able to share the evening not only with Enza & Antonio and her daughter, but also with a couple from Los Angeles, USA. We can only recommend to all those interested in Italian cuisine to let themselves be led by the hand of this magnificent family. A hug from Katarina & Gerardo & Daniel & Laura
