In a welcoming Salento family home near Lecce, you’ll experience an authentic Apulian cooking class and a relaxing dinner full of southern Italian charm. Located in Corigliano d’Otranto, just 15 minutes from Lecce, this hands-on pasta making class takes place in a cozy countryside Villa surrounded by olive trees.

Then, guided by Enza and her family, you’ll learn to make traditional orecchiette and maccheroncini from scratch, using time-honored recipes passed down through generations. Dinner follows with local wine and typical dishes from Puglia, served in a warm, family atmosphere, on the veranda in summer or by the fire in winter.

A Perfect Evening with Friends: Warm Hospitality and Thoughtful Care for Everyone

5.00We joined this cooking class with a group of friends, and I can truly say it was an absolutely fantastic, warm, and authentic experience in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with great kindness by Enza and Antonio, who created such a relaxed and family-like atmosphere that we immediately felt at ease. It really felt like being at friends’ home rather than attending an organized activity. One thing we especially appreciated was the attention given to our group’s dietary needs: two of our friends had intolerances, including one who is celiac, and Enza was incredible in preparing alternative recipes for them without ever making them feel “different” or limited. On the contrary, she handled everything so naturally, perfectly integrating the different preparations and allowing everyone to enjoy the evening with the same ease and pleasure. We cooked, laughed, enjoyed great wine, and shared truly special moments together. The food was delicious, made with fresh ingredients and a lot of love, but what really made the difference was the atmosphere: genuine, convivial, and full of positive energy. It’s one of those experiences that bring people together and stay with you long after it’s over. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something real, not just a cooking class, but a special evening to share.
Wonderful Italian family hosts and cooking class

5.00Enza and Antonio are perfect cooking class hosts. In addition to the joys of learning how to cook authentic orecchiette pasta, you also will enjoy the beauty of their Italian country home (and if you are lucky, you will get to play with Jambo, the family dog). My wife and I have experienced multiple cooking classes in Europe, but we both agree this is the best. Enza and Antonio make you feel like family, and the apertivo plate, pasta and wine are simply icing on the cake (or in our case, blueberry pie). Meravigliosa!

5.00There are experiences that stay in your heart, and the cooking class at Enza and Antonio’s home is definitely one of them. It’s not just a cooking lesson, but a true journey into Apulian traditions, made of aromas, laughter, and shared moments. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, as if we were long-time friends. Enza and Antonio have a rare gift: they make every guest feel special, comfortable, and truly part of their home. Making pasta together was one of the most beautiful moments—simple and authentic, yet full of meaning. Between helpful tips and lighthearted jokes, time flies without even noticing. Every gesture tells a story, every detail reflects their passion. Dinner was the perfect ending to this experience: delicious dishes, excellent wine, and a magical atmosphere under the Apulian sky. You laugh, chat, toast… and completely forget about everything else. This is not just a cooking class, it’s a precious memory you’ll carry with you. If you want to experience the real Puglia—the most authentic and genuine side of it, Enza and Antonio are the perfect choice. An experience I would recommend to anyone, without hesitation.

5.00Taking part in the cooking class at Enza and Antonio’s home was much more than just a culinary experience: it felt like stepping, even if only for an evening, into the authentic heart of Puglia. From the very first moment, we felt welcomed like family. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and genuine. Between a glass of wine and heartfelt smiles, Enza and Antonio create something truly rare: a real experience made of sharing, tradition, and passion. Making fresh pasta was engaging and fun. Guided step by step, we learned how to shape orecchiette and maccheroni, discovering little secrets passed down through generations. It’s not just a class, it’s a story told through gestures, aromas, and memories. And then comes the most beautiful moment: sitting all together at the table, enjoying what we prepared wit h our own hands, accompanied by excellent local wine and easy, natural conversation. Every dish tells the story of the land, every detail is crafted with care and love. Enza and Antonio don’t just offer a cooking class, they offer an authentic experience that stays with you. If you’re in Puglia, this is something you absolutely shouldn’t miss. A special memory made of flavors, laughter, and pure Italian beauty.
Amazing Evening! ! !

5.00We lived much more than just a cooking class: it was an authentic, warm and deeply human experience. From the moment we arrived, Enza and Antonio welcomed us as if we were family friends, making us feel immediately at home. The evening began with a rich aperitif and attention to detail, including local products, homemade bread and an excellent prosecco. Then we got to the heart of the lesson: preparing orecchiette and macaroni with our own hands, guided with patience and passion, was fun and really engaging. It is not just a cooking lesson, but a real moment of sharing, between stories, laughter and traditions. Dinner was the perfect moment to taste everything we had prepared, accompanied by carefully chosen local wines. And finally, homemade desserts, limoncello and a conviviality that is hardly forgotten. What makes this experience special is the atmosphere: genuine, familiar, full of positive energy. You don't feel like a customer, but part of something. If you are looking for a real experience in a beautiful Italian house, away from mass tourism, this is just perfect. We'd be back tomorrow.
A true moment of sharing !

5.00This activity was incredible, with both hosts that received us with open arms and thought us the art of pasta making. We spent 3,5 hours of working hard on making the pastas and being hosted with a great pre-supper entrée + the class + two full plates of our own pastas and their sauces + home made tart + their own limoncello. This was followed by allot of gossip and talk about our personnal hobby's and activities activities. Thanks for both of you. Ruth and Andre
