Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Bari: Make 2 Pasta Types

Roll pasta dough by hand, shape two kinds, then layer tiramisu: all in a Cesarina's home kitchen

A hands-on cooking class in Bari where you learn to roll sfoglia (fresh pasta) by hand, make two iconic pasta types, and prepare tiramisu from scratch in a local home with a Cesarina host. The class runs three hours, stays under 12 people, and includes an Italian aperitivo with prosecco and nibbles, plus tasting of everything you make. English and Italian guides available.

The experience

You'll work in the home kitchen of a Cesarina (a member of Italy's oldest network of home cooks), who teaches you her family recipes as if you were part of the household. The class opens with prosecco and nibbles, then moves straight to the pasta. You learn to roll sfoglia (the fresh pasta sheet) by hand, then shape two different pasta types, likely cavatelli or orecchiette, the shapes Puglia is known for. Each one gets dressed with a simple sauce and cooked so you taste what you've made. The tiramisu comes last: you layer the coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream yourself, building the dessert from scratch.

The group stays small, maximum 12 people, so there's room to ask questions and watch closely as the Cesarina works. Water, wine and coffee come throughout. Everything you prepare is included in the tasting. The class takes three hours total. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it to reach the home.

Is this one for you?Book this class if you want to learn the techniques (rolling dough, shaping pasta, layering tiramisu) rather than just watch a demonstration. The three-hour format and small group size mean you'll have time at the stove and space to ask questions as you work.
