    Lovely evening in the Italian countryside

    This was a lovely way to spend an evening in Puglia. Our Nonna was adorable and master of the pasta shapes. Our guides Fabio and Silvia were fantastic. Very helpful when I struggled with the shapes and the dough. Dinner was fantastic. Simple home cooked food and I got very lucky to have great company. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

    Amazing cooking class experience!

    I went to Puglia in July 2026, and the experience in Senti la Puglia was such amazing! I loved every time I had there. They help me with the transportation until la Vila, what helps a lot since I went by train. The class was amazing too, with a real nona teaching how to do a good orrirchete and another's types of pasta and was pretty good, they explain very well, help you to get a good dough and the class has just 8 people so was perfect to enjoy that time without overwhelmed. At the end we could appreciate a good dinner with the pasta we made. Was a great experience, the hosts are such nice and kindly persons. I for sure recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! ❤️ We’re delighted that you enjoyed your orecchiette cooking class in Ostuni and that we could also help make your journey to our location easier. Learning to make traditional orecchiette and other Apulian pasta with a real Nonna, in a small and relaxed group, is exactly the authentic experience we want to share with our guests. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed the traditional Apulian dinner with the pasta you made yourself. Thank you for recommending our cooking class in Ostuni, Puglia, and we hope to welcome you back one day! 🇮🇹❤️ Senti La Puglia Feel the Soul of Puglia

    Lovely experience

    We had a fantastic time! The guides were wery kind and patient. Everything was lovely. It would be nice to have a transfer from Ostuni for the whole group aranged (a minibus perhaps), since most people stay there and you want to drink so you shouldn't drive.

    Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brindisi.

    How much does Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna cost?

    +

    Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brindisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brindisi is not rushed.

    Is Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Brindisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna?

    +

    Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brindisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brindisi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brindisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Brindisi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Brindisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wine Experience: vineyard, wines and food, Puglia Bike Tour: Cycling Through the History of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Mozzarella Experience - Cheese Tasting Tour at Masseria Fragnite. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Brindisi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Brindisi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Ostuni Orecchiette Cooking Class with Nonna?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Bottled water; Tools and equipment for making pasta; and Meals. Not included: Dinner; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +
