What are people saying about Bari

Michael_T, May 2026

The perfect authentic cooking experience

This was the best way to get to know genuine local cuisine in Bari. We were graciously invited into Annarita’s home, joined by her daughter and mother, and cooked a delicious asparagus pasta (with orecchiette) and tomato sauce. Homemade focaccia, bruschetta, potatoes, wine, limoncello, and more were provided. It was clear so much care and attention were put into preparing for this meal. The family were so kind and made us feel so welcome into their home, taught us some new dishes, and made this such a special part of our trip.

A must-do experience! Absolutely wonderful!

This was the highlight of our trip so far! Anita’s hospitality was top-notch and the food was out of this world. The directions to find the place were spot on and there is a parking garage right around the corner if you do end up driving like we did. Just check on Google Maps. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this experience and it wasn’t until afterwards that my husband shared with me he had been leery when I first booked it but was very glad we did it. Anita made us feel right at home and she was extremely patient with us while we attempted to create the little pieces of pasta. The spread she put out for us to eat was extensive and way more than we could finish. The focaccia was so delicious and the best I have ever eaten. Anita kept up the conversation while we worked by telling us stories of the region and sharing her own experience and that of her grandmother from whom she learned how to make pasta from. If you are on the fence about whether to do this or not, then let this be the push that gets you to do it. You will not be disappointed!

Walking tour of Bari old town with pasta experience

My husband and I went on a walking cultural tour of Bari visiting several piazzas and churches including the beautiful Cathedrale of San Nicola. Alessia was lovely and very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of this beautiful city. Afterwards we did a pasta experience with Anna and Mariella they were lovely. We made orichiette with Mariella, she was very patient with us. Then she served orichiette with tomato sugo and Primitivo wine to us. Delicious.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to meet local folks in Bari, this class is wonderful.

Do not miss this experience. This was the highlight of our three week trip to southern Italy. Christiana takes you in to her home as a guest. She and her 88 year old mother taught us how to make two kinds of pastas, two sauces for the pastas, and home made cream sauce for the cream puffs we made for dessert. All the while the elder woman was telling us about her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. This was like visiting the Italian relatives you didn’t know you had. After dessert we enjoyed three potent digestives that the elder woman had made from fennel, lemon, and tangerine. When we left Christiana called a taxi for us and escorted us out to the taxi to make sure the driver had the proper address for our destination. If you want to feel like you have experienced the real Bari, this is the thing you should do.

Loved this!

I absolutely loved this pasta-making class! The experience was fun, hands-on, and so rewarding. The instructor Annamaria was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, patient, and encouraging. She broke down each step of the process in a way that was easy to follow, making even the most intricate techniques feel approachable. I appreciated the little tips and tricks she shared—things you’d never find in a recipe book! By the end, I felt confident rolling, shaping, and cooking my own pasta from scratch. The atmosphere was welcoming, and her passion for cooking was contagious. I left not only trying the delicious pasta we made, but also with the inspiration and skills to make it again at home. Truly a wonderful experience—I’d highly recommend this class to anyone! Grazie Annamaria!
