Beautiful evening learning to make pasta - Lisa and Fabio were fantastic hosts. We had a lovely evening with these warm and genuine people who taught us about typical Puglian aperitivi dishes and how to make local pasta. It was a great way to learn more about the culture and the area. I would highly recommend an evening with them.

Authentic Lecce: A Delightful Home Cooking Experience - Dear Lisa and Fabio,
It was such a pleasure meeting you and visiting your beautiful home. We really enjoyed the cooking class and can’t wait to try the recipes at home. It was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience authentic home-cooked cuisine in Lecce. We had an amazing time and absolutely loved the food!
Thanks again for everything!

Unforgettable experience - An absolutely unforgettable experience. Lisa and her husband welcomed us into their home with open arms. Out of our entire trip this was the most memorable dinner we had. Besides learning how to create pasta from scratch and eating it after, the conversation and hospitality of Lisa and her husband will be something that we hold forever. We walked in as strangers and left as family.

Wonderful Evening - We had the best evening with Lisa and Fabio. They are a generous and wonderful couple who patiently taught us how to make 2 different kinds of pasta. And then we shared a wonderful dinner of wine, aperitif, 2 different kinds of pasta and then dessert. The food and wine were wonderful, but even more wonderful was sharing the experience with Lisa and Fabio. We had lots of laughs and shared stories about our countries and interests. I would highly recommend booking this cooking experience with Lisa and Fabio.

Wonderful evening with lovely hosts - Fabio and Lisa were perfect hosts. It was like an educational dinner party. We were two couples and Lisa taught us how to make local pasta while Fabio helped us sample local wines. Yummy sauces too.

A wonderful and memorable experience with great food and friendly people! - What a fun evening with Lisa and Fabio. They were organized and prompt in picking us up at the meeting point. And then it got better from there. They welcomed us into their home and kitchen and taught us how to make fresh orecchiette and macaronini while sharing their love for Italian, and particularly Pugliese, cooking. When we finished making the pasta, they served us a wonderful and delicious meal using our homemade pasta with two sauces and a variety of amazing antipasti they had prepared ahead of time. Dinner in their patio included local wine tasting and fun conversation as they shared information about themselves, Lecce and Italy. After dinner they served homemade dessert and limoncello! What an amazing way to get a look inside the real and very friendly people of southern Italy and taste the amazing regional food. This cooking class was a wonderful, memorable experience and one of the highlights of our three weeks traveling through southern Italy. Thank you Lisa and Fabio!

Wonderful, authentic cooking class! - Lisa and Fabio are delightful! We came for an authentic cooking experience, but received so much more. From the moment of greeting, Lisa and Fabio are warm and kind. They picked us up at a convenient location, and drove us to their comfortable home where everything had been prepared in advance for our cooking experience. Lisa showed us how to make two shapes of pasta while we all became friends. She had prepared a lovely aperativo table to share while the pasta cooked. We enjoyed dining in the lovely garden where they shared tips for local adventures. We enjoyed every minute! Lisa and Fabio are perfect hosts and encouraging teachers. I highly recommend their class, not only as a cooking experience, but also an opportunity to make wonderful new friends.

The best evening of our great time in Lecce. - This was so much more than we expected. Apart from learning a lot about Puglian food and wines we were made to feel like real friends spending an evening together.
Wonderful experience with Lisa and Fabio. Great teachers and hosts.

Pasta-gnostic No More... - Lisa and Fabio are phenomenal. We arrived as pasta-gnostic, meaning we usually bought dried pasta and would occasionally splurge for store-bought fresh pasta. But make it ourselves? Only did that once in a cooking class in Orvieto. Orecchiette? We saw the women in Bari make that on a Stanley Tucci episode of In Search of Italy. But there was no way we could do that.
Lisa and Fabio proved us wrong, Showed us alternatives for simple sauces and even simpler pasta. Semolina and water? Really? Where is the egg? Fabio was great showing me that even fat fingers will not limit your orecchiette readiness.
We loved learning about their traditions and life in Lecce. Fabio served great local wines that complimented the many appetizers Lisa made, including warm multigrain bread that went so well with everything.
We were sad to leave our new food friends, but two days after our return home, i made orecchiette and cherry tomato sauce for Mother's Day. And while it was not as delicate as i achieved in their class and home, it was a wonderful way to relive our few hours learning to cook as Lisa and Fabio do.

Delightful! - My friend, Kathy and I had a wonderful time! Lisa and Fabio were excellent and very patient instructors in teaching us how to make pasta. Their home was so welcoming. They provided us with an over the top antipasti with so many delectable choices that were typical of the Puglia region. Each was paired with different wines. We had a delightful evening meeting new people and talking about their travels. Lisa and Fabio were a lot of fun. They shared information about the area along with how to make several of the dishes they served. Lisa made sure we arrived safely at our B&B. They took photos of us which they will share via email along with a few special recipes. Hopefully, they have my email address as I'm excited to see the photos and receive the recipes! Thanks for a perfect evening! Diana Karwowski
