Amazing evening in Lecce

Matthew_M, Oct 2025

Stefania is an amazing hostess. She opens her beautiful home to you and treats you like family. She is very patient and a wonderful teacher. We are still dreaming of the Cafe Leccese she served. In our opinion what made the evening more special was the dinner conversation. I am so happy we signed up for this class and had the opportunity to meet a genuinely good person.

What a fabulous evening! ...

What a fabulous evening! Stefania is a wonderful hostess and an excellent teacher. The food, the music, the fun and laughter made it a truly enjoyable evening. We learned a lot and are anxious to get home and into our kitchens to make orecchiette, meatballs and pasticciotti! Thank you Stefania!

Best cooking class in Lecce

Jan_C, Sep 2025

Stefania was the most exceptional instructor for our pasta cooking class. She was very patient and made us feel comfortable in her beautiful home. Her recipes were delicious as was the wine and especially the pasticciotto.

Great experience in Stefania’s beautiful home! A true Apulian experience
