Hands in dough, wine in hand: cooking pasta and tiramisu in Bari's old town

You'll spend the afternoon learning to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch at a family restaurant near Bari's historic center. Your guide teaches you the technique, you cook both dishes, then sit down to eat them with Prosecco and three glasses of local wine included. You leave with written recipes and the muscle memory of how to do this yourself.

The Experience

Hands press into flour. A guide stands across the counter, watching the motion, then steps in to show you how the dough should feel — not too wet, not too dry, somewhere in between that only comes from doing it a few times. You're at a family-owned restaurant just 300 meters from Bari Vecchia, the kind of place where the kitchen is part of the room and the smell of butter and sage fills the air before you've even started. The cooking class in Bari begins with a glass of Prosecco, and then the real work: learning to make fettuccine and ravioli ricotta e spinaci the way they've been made here for years.

The tiramisu comes first. Your instructor walks you through layering mascarpone, dipping the ladyfingers in espresso, building it up in a dish that will sit in the fridge while you move on to the pasta. There's a rhythm to it — not rushed, not fussy, just methodical. Then you're back at the counter with flour and eggs, learning how to roll the dough thin enough to see your hand through it, how to cut it even, how to fill the ravioli without tearing the edges. It takes longer than you'd think, and that's the point. By the time you sit down to eat what you've made, you understand why these dishes matter.

The meal itself is the payoff. Your fettuccine with tomato sauce, your ravioli, your tiramisu — all of it plated and ready, paired with three glasses of local wine that shift from white to red depending on what's on your plate. There's coffee or limoncello at the end, and before you leave, the guide hands you printed recipes so you can actually make this stuff at home without guessing. The restaurant sits 500 meters from Bari Vecchia and 100 meters from Lungomare Araldo, so if you want to walk off lunch and see the old town afterward, it's right there.

What’s included

Your afternoon includes all food and wine: Prosecco on arrival, three glasses of local wine with the meal, fresh pasta and tiramisu that you make yourself, coffee or limoncello at the end, and printed recipes to take home.
