I await you in my ancient trullo, among the almond trees, olive trees and enchanted alleyways of Alberobello, to experience an unforgettable moment, made up of flavors and colors typical of Pugliese culinary art.

Together we learn three typical Pugliese recipes, from appetizer to dessert, and put our hands in pasta to make the striscianti, with its very special shape, evoked by its name. To finish, the Pugliese cartellate, following the family recipe, that has been passed down from generation to generation. I discovered my passion for cooking when I was only seven years old. Today I continue with love to prepare and share, with my guests, genuine and typical dishes, using the products of my land, to give quality, genuineness and sustainability in the kitchen.

: We had a fantastic experience with Maria!! If you’re searching for an authentic Italian cooking experience, it doesn’t get any better than this. We were warmly welcomed inside of Maria’s personal home which was inside of a historic trulli. Maria told about what we’d be cooking and how we’d be doing it using the spaces that she’d made for us at her kitchen table. We needed to rely on the translation app to communicate which we felt added to the experience. We made a couple different appetizers, an orchietti pasta and a dessert. Everything was delicious!! Her husband was also home who poured us glasses of his wine as we ate at their personal dining room table. If authenticity is your main priority, it’s impossible to be disappointed. Keep in mind that the total time for the experience was closer to 4.5 hours than the advertised 2. This was not at all a problem for us and made sense considering dough had to rise and things like that. But it’s something to be aware of so you can plan accordingly. Overall, 10/10 experience for sure!
: This was a wonderful afternoon with Maria. We had loads of fun and Maria was passionate about her authentic style cooking. Preparing the food in her trulli was a real experience as it felt like home. There was more than enough food prepared, cooked and eaten. Whilst we didn’t quite nail the orecchiette, they tasted superb. Maria was kind enough to also ensure that she catered for gluten free. A great experience all round
: We had a lovely experience of authentic home cooking with a generous local host speaking the international language of food in her iconic family trullo.
: Maria è una carissima persona con tanta sapienza della cucina pugliesa. Abbbiamo fatto tre diverse focacce, panzerotti, orecchiette e amaretti. E abbiamo parlato tanto della vita sua e della vita in un trullo. Un abbraccio a lei!!
: Grazie Mille to Maria and Nino! Beautiful home and delicious food. It was like having dinner with my grandparents when I was a kid.
