Nonna, pasta, tiramisu - An unforgettable experience in Otranto with Lydia, a real Italian nonna! We learned how to make homemade pasta and a delicious tiramisu in a warm and welcoming family atmosphere. The kindness and authenticity of the nonna and her family made this experience even more special. It was a perfect moment to share as a couple, full of laughter, great flavors, and Italian traditions. I will never forget this day! Highly recommended. Take care Lydia!

Thank you, Nonna Lidia! - Nonna Lidia and her grand daughter Gaia really Made an effort to welcome us, almost making us feel part of their daily life and their family. We thought we were going to make pasta and tiramisu, but ended up with so much more - next to that, we ended up sharing an entire meal with Nonna Lidia and her family. The food was awesome, everything you think of when thinking of an Italian grandmother teaching you to cook! This was truly amazing and an experience we will never forget!

Cooking class with a real Italian mom - The cooking class took us out of our comfort. We arrived at Lydia's, a typical Italian mom. And were warmly welcomed in Italian. Her son arrived later and he took care of the translation. At first we had to get used to it, but the cooking class was great. You are really at someone's home and we have been pampered. In addition to making the described dishes together, we were also spoiled with extras such as melanzane parmiggiano, Arancini, sceblasti and limoncello spritz.
