Experience Details

Get ready to live an authentic experience in the heart of Bari, in a secret place that holds the true spirit of Apulian cuisine. In the company of a local guide, you will put your hands in the dough to prepare two symbols of tradition: the focaccia from Bari, queen of street food, soft and crisp with juicy cherry tomatoes, which even beat the Genoese focaccia in a last-ditch challenge, and the handmade orecchiette, prepared according to the ancient Bari technique, celebrated by the New York Times as a heritage to be protected. After the lesson, we will sit at the table to enjoy together the fruit of our work, accompanied by a good local wine and stories that smell of tradition.

An intimate, engaging and genuine experience, designed for those who want to discover the true soul of Bari through its cuisine.
