About Monopoli Cooking Classes
A cooking class in Monopoli is a hands-on session with a local cook: you prepare a multi-course Italian meal from scratch — usually fresh pasta plus a main and dessert — then sit down to eat what you made, often with wine.
Monopoli is in Puglia — orecchiette by hand, superb olive oil, and sun-drenched vegetables.
Guest Reviews
What Travelers Say
"Myself and my teenage daughter has a class yesterday with Daniele. We both absolutely loved it. He was so knowledgable and engaging, the 2 hours whizzed by and we learned so much."
"Maria was an incredible cooking teacher, she is a wealth of knowledge not only about the food, but also Italian history and politics. Together we made delicious pasta and were taught how to correctly form orecchiette. She gave so many useful tips which we will definitely take home with us. It really was an amazing night, I have done many cooking schools and this was the most authentic and engaging on yet. We couldn’t recommend enough."
"Loved that the group was small. Made for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience."
"The pasta making class was wonderful and a great experience for our entire party including a young teenager and a 10 year old. The teacher Daniele was great leading the class, accomodating a late arrival to the class and helping us enjoy the moment."
