Cook Italiano - Absolutely incredible! Fabulous house with a beautiful garden… Our hosts were Carlo and Guisey and they were absolutely spectacular! Learned how to make gnocchi, as well as fresh pasta, the Italian way… They also ran a cute BMV and do cooking on the side. Such a great experience can’t say enough about it. Best part of our trip to Lecce!

Pugliese Home Cooking Class - Cesarina was fantastic. Took us to both a cheese shop where we tasted a variety of mozzarellas, then a fruit and vegetable shop where she introduced us to Pugliese produce. Afterwards we went back to her beautiful home and we made pasta, tomato sauce, a zucchini focaccia and a tort. We ended the night with a very delicious homemade Pugliese meal. Wonderful experience. Cesarina is incredibly generous and fun. A highlight of our trip.
