Wonderful experience!!
I enjoyed this cooking class so much. I learned how to make many different kinds of pasta shapes and we also made Tiramisu! The best part of this experience was Filomena and her daughter making me feel so comfortable in their home and her husband even joined us for dessert. Such lovely people. The sauce that we created for the pasta was so delicious & made with all local and fresh ingredients! You will need transportation to the town because it is a bit outside of Matera. However, it was totally worth the trip. I have wonderful memories and will try to make the dishes on my own. Thank you Filomena!!

The best Matera experience
My mom and I took a class with Filomena on our first night in Matera and absolutely loved it! The kitchen space was so cute and we got to eat out on her terrace which was just beautiful and such a great way to watch the sunset. Overall the class was incredibly informative and run just beautifully. We made ravioli from scratch, two sauces, and tiramisu which were all incredibly delicious. All of the ingredients were fresh from her own garden and the meat was from a local butcher. She even made her own olive oil from her own olive trees and we got to try her homemade limoncello. She also gave us wine made locally that was probably the best wine I have ever had. Through the class she explained techniques very well, and even had her daughter there to help with English to Italian translations for when it was necessary, but she spoke very good English herself. I have made pasta from scratch a few times at home and found her class to help a lot with some of the smaller technical details, so even if you already know how to make pasta or you are completely new to it this class is still perfect for you! It was also so fun to sit down with people in Italy and have a family dinner and learn about their lives and share about ours. She also took photos of us through the class and sent them to me immediately afterwards as well as the written out recipes. She texted me beforehand to make sure I knew how to get there so she is fantastic at making sure you are set to get there and can answer all of your questions. Overall the experience was phenomenal and not to be missed for a visit to matera. It was one of the best parts of my trip and a memory I will cherish forever.

Cooking with local
My husband and I had a great time. It was just the 2 of us, Filamena and her sweet daughter. We learned several pasta shapes, 2 sauces, bruschetta, and the most delicious tiramisu. She grows her own herbs, olive oil,the wheat was recently harvested and everything was fresh. She also provided a sampling of fresh local made cheese, meat and red table wine. She told us about the area with love. It was really good. Meeting them and sharing a meal on her terrace was a highlight

Awesome cooking class experience!
We had a wonderful time with Filomena Cotugno at her cooking class at her lovely home. She was a patient & fun teacher. We made tiramisu & pasta for two dishes. Her daughter was there to help with any language issues & was very sweet. She also provided appetizers & drinks! All of the food we made was excellent & we enjoyed it immensely. Her husband joined us for the meal so it could be a family affair. She shared with us some of her homemade olive oil & limoncello! She even took the time to show us around her beautiful hometown & helped with transportation getting to her house. We would highly recommend Filomena & the Cesarine cooking classes!!

Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.
How much does Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera cost?
+
Prices start at $204 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Matera usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera 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 Matera is not rushed.
Is Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera?
+
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 Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera 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 Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera?
+
Around 4 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 Matera 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 Matera and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera 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 Matera 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 Matera?
+
On Outty we rank every Matera experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Matera, the ancient city - English tour, Tour in the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta and Rock Church, Matera's Sassi Walking Tour - PREMIUM GUIDES. 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 Matera?
+
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 Matera?
+
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 Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera?
+

Where is the meeting point for Pasta & Tiramisu Class at Local's home with tasting in Matera?
+
This experience will be held in one of our Cesarina homes and, for privacy reason, you will receive the full address of your Cesarina host after you have booked. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
