Description

Good to Know

You will be welcomed in the cozy garden of an ancient boathouse, typical Salento structure with 4 star vaults, recently renovated, used in the past as a stable and warehouse and used today to make you live a fantastic culinary experience respecting local traditions. After the visit of the structure, you can taste an aperitif of typical local products accompanied by the excellent wines of Salento. Next thing you know, everyone's at work... We will prepare with you the pasta that we will season with two different sauces based on "fresh tomato & basil" and "Ciceri & Tria" chickpeas flavored with a mix of vegetables and fried pasta. During the evening you can listen to the traditional music "La Pizzica" and use, if you want, the fine violin guitars and tambourines made available to accompany some stornello. An excellent homemade ice cream and a fresh limoncello of the house, will close the evening

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip

What a fantastic evening! From the moment we arrived, the family made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable, creating such a warm, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The pasta-making experience was not only great fun but also a wonderful opportunity to enjoy authentic Italian hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun, authentic and a little different. A wonderful evening and definitely one of the highlights...read more

Wonderful experience

We had the most wonderful time with all 3 generations of their families. If we ever get the chance to visit Lecce again we would definitely love to do this again. The experience was incredible and I look forward to trying to replicate the pasta at home.

Lovely Evening, Lovely Food

We walked about 25 minutes from the historic city center during sunset and were greeted by the lovely family and aperitivos. After settling in and chatting for a bit, we started the pasta making process led by their nonna. We had SUCH a good time learning and eating together. The night ended perfectly with some of their home made limoncello and dessert.

Family cooking in Lecce

A truly delightful experience! Such gracious hosts, in a wonderful environment. Our family enjoyed getting to spend time socializing with a lovely couple and nonna, learning how to make pasta for an authentic Italian dinner. Thanks for a great memory we will always cherish!
