  • We booked Marco for two nights, and the food and service were excellent, including a range of delicious local delicacies. Marco was very personable and quick to respond to any questions beforehand, highly recommended.

    Our host was exceptional and very kind, providing us with a variety of local foods to try, along with stories to go with them. The experience itself was very intimate and authentic, as we prepped 3 types of pasta in an old wine cellar and ate our preparations (and then some) on the back patio. We learned a great deal about Italian living and the food was absolutely delicious. The intention is to do this anytime were in the Puglia region!

    Our chef Mattia and his assistant Pia were a dream to work with. Creative, friendly, and the food was out of this world fantastic. One of the reasons we love to travel to Italy is for the amazing Culinary experience and our dinners with Terra Che Vive were some of the most exceptional.

  • The whole crew of 3 was so amazing! I can't remember everyone's names, but Pia and her daughter and I think Marco were all so kind and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed the class. Definitely suitable to beginners and novice cooks. Next time for our group I would maybe ask for something more challenging or to have us do every single step of the process with them, but it was the perfect amount of work for while drinking & just enjoying our vacation. They even let my baby participate :) The end result was so delicious as was the wine made by Pia's brother. Wish I could have brought that wine home!
