What are people saying about Bari

Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Bari by Cesarine

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!

Fun and Interesting Tour of Bari

Alessia with Velo Service was a fun and interesting walking tour guide. We enjoyed walking around with Alessia and learning about the culture and history of Bari. Our favorite things were visiting Basilica Di San Nicola, the gelato, the Nonnes, and learning how to make orecchiette. The time on our tour flew by!

Bari Cooking Class : Traditional Focaccia & Orecchiette

Mary_O, Dec 2025

Best excursion of our trip!

This was the highlight of our cruise trip around the Adriatic. Frederica was so lovely and helpful and Merica (sorry for spelling!) was so good at demonstrating to us. Because we were off-season, we ended up just being the two of us in the kitchen and after a few minutes it felt like being home around the kitchen table, swapping stories and learning about Bari and traditions of the area while making orecchetti and eating the focaccia straight from the oven. The little kitchen is intimate, and we handled all the ingredients, had all our questions answered, and learned so much about the food of this region. The food and wine we ate and drank was incredible and we left so full and happy. I am so glad we booked it.

Bari: Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine

Suzann_T, Oct 2025

The cooking class was...

The cooking class was good fun . Great information and lovely ingredient's. We made the tiramisu as a group then worked alone for the pasta making. The hosts were friendly and funny but passionate and expressive. Some translations were awkward between the chef and translator but that is for them to resolve. We had Prosecco during the break from the preparation . Then was given wines / drinks with our meal. We made two types of pasta . It was a great experience 😊

Bari: Home Cooking Class- Make Cavatelli & Capunti with Wine

Robert_B, Oct 2025

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.

Apulian Cooking Class with Aperitif and Wine in Polignano a Mare

Giovanna_M, Aug 2025

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!
