A Wonderful, Authentic Italian Experience
What a wonderful experience! From the beautiful location to the warm, welcoming atmosphere, everything felt truly authentic and special. Nonna was the cutest, and Fabio and Silvia were incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming. You can really feel the love and passion they put into creating such a memorable evening. The dinner was delicious, the company was wonderful, and the entire experience was good for the soul. It felt like being welcomed into an Italian home rather than simply going out for dinner. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a genuine taste of Italian hospitality and cuisine.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for these beautiful words. ❤️ Your review truly captures what we hope our experience in Puglia feels like. More than simply learning to make traditional handmade pasta or enjoying an Apulian dinner, we want our guests to feel welcomed, relaxed and genuinely part of the moment. So hearing that it felt like being invited into an Italian home rather than simply going out for dinner means so much to us. 🥹🇮🇹 And yes… Nonna really is the cutest! ❤️ Her warmth, stories and little touches are such a special part of our cooking class in Ostuni. Together with Fabio and Silvia, she helps create that atmosphere where food, laughter and local traditions come naturally. We’re so happy you enjoyed the dinner, the company and the whole evening. “Good for the soul” is probably one of the loveliest ways you could describe an authentic Puglia experience. 🌿❤️ Thank you for recommending us and for spending such a special evening with us. We hope you’ll carry a little piece of Puglia with you!

Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brindisi.
How much does Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 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 Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner?
+
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 Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner?
+
Around 9 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner 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 Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner?
+
Included: Dinner; Hosted in a private countryside villa near Ostuni; Alcoholic beverages; All Ingredients and equipment; and Hands-on cooking class. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner?
+
We will share the exact location on Whatsapp on the day of the experience (please leave your whatsapp) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Ostuni Premium Cooking Class & Traditional Dinner if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
