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!

Una serata fantastica!

Thomas_S, Jun 2026

We spent a beautiful evening with Stefania, learning traditional pasta making along with the wonderful local specialties of caffè in ghiaccio con latte di mandorla and pasticciotto. Wow, it was amazing! Stefania is a kind teacher and gracious hostess, and welcomed us into her home for an evening of amazing foods and wines. Easily the best night of our trip to Lecce, and since she shared the recipes after, we have even made the pasta dinner twice in our own home! Thank you Stefania, for teaching us how to make these wonderful foods.

I love you 🫶🏻

A fun and informative experience

This was a fabulous evening - Stefania welcomed us into her beautiful home where she instructed us, assisted us and fed us - she has the perfect personality to teach - it was fun, informative and not just about the food, but also local culture. We can't wait to test our new culinary skills once we're home - this was a wonderful way for us to spend our last evening in Lecce and we couldn't stop raving about it the next day.

Amazing evening in Lecce

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! ...

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
