  • 5Really lovely pasta making experience

    A great couple of hours making pasta with a little wine tasting as well. Excellent teacher and a lovely group of people also. Not booked anything like this on Tripadvisor before so we were more than pleasantly surprised with the experience as a whole. Thoroughly recommend

  • 5Very fun!

    So wonderful! Pasta was fun to make, I learned a lot, and the food at the end was delicious! They were also able to serve me gluten free pasta and bread which was a lovely surprise. Also had 3 delicious glasses of wine.

  • 5Wonderful Pasta making and wine sampling experience

    What a wonderful experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍷 We had such a lovely time at this pasta-making class. It was so much more than just learning how to make pasta — it was a really relaxed, social and enjoyable experience from start to finish. There were just 9 of us, which made it feel really personal and gave us the chance to chat, laugh and get to know each other while our pasta was being prepared and cooked for us in a delicious tomato sauce. The wine tasting was the perfect addition too. We sampled red, rosé and white wines while enjoying the food and the company, and the whole evening had such a lovely, relaxed Italian feel. The hosts were friendly, welcoming and made everyone feel at ease. It was one of those experiences where you can simply sit back, enjoy yourself and soak up the atmosphere. A fantastic experience that we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lecce Italy. We left with full stomachs, happy memories ❤️🇮🇹

  • 5Fun class! Will enjoy making when we get home.

    Really fun and informative class lots of wine throughout the whole experience. We had a lovely meal eating our pasta, with a starter, and fruit for dessert. And of course, more wine. The ladies that taught the class helped each of us individually, so it was no fail. Will be making this once we get home!!!

  • 5Orechiette cooking class

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Orechiette cooking class. We were surprised you could make pasta with just semolina, salt, and water. Overall, a fun and tasty experience in Lecce!

  • 5Great Hospitality

    This was a very fun and educational activity. We were welcomed into the bistro, which was closed for other guests during this time. Making the pasta was fun and educational. Included today were three glasses of wine and a three course meal, centered around the pasta we made.

About Lecce

Lecce is a Baroque city in Italy's heel, built in honey-coloured limestone and carved with flowers, animals and saints on every façade.

Lecce's soft local limestone could be carved like wood, and the architects of the seventeenth century used it to cover churches and palaces in garlands, cherubs, animals and plants, a style called Leccese Baroque. The Basilica of Santa Croce has the richest façade, and the Piazza del Duomo is a closed square with a campanile. A Roman amphitheatre lies half uncovered in Piazza Sant'Oronzo, and the city is sometimes called the Florence of the South.

Top-ranked sights in Lecce: Lecce Basilica of Santa Croce (Basilica Di Santa Croce), Lecce Roman Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Romano di Lecce), Porta Napoli.
