Viator should have done a better job of vetting this experience. This was not a cooking class, this was just dinner that was pre-made at the hosts house. He was very pleasant and nice but it was disappointing to show up thinking we were getting a cooking class and instead getting a meal served that not of our choice. I looked back through the reviews and it looks like some people got a class and there are photo's of people cooking in aprons. The cost was high for just eating at someone's house especially when Matera has so many amazing restaurants in town that would be been much cheaper to eat at. We were sad to miss that on our last night. I am not blaming the host so much, Viator clearly isn't vetting their listings.

This could (possibly) have been great, but unfortunately Signore Linzalone didn't show up. Instead, without notice, he substituted another person to be the host. I don't know why this happened, but would have appreciated an explanation ahead of time. Perhaps the fear was that we would cancel if we knew what the changes were. The substitute, a young woman, was super friendly and a great person, but was clearly very inexperienced. We expected more information and entertainment (as described in the listing description). It was supposed to last 4 hours, but was over in 2.

We spent some nice hours together! We started with a very fresh and light aperitif, before immediately getting to work: we made pasta together, which we then ate with a sauce of basil tomatoes and caciocavallo podolico. In the meantime we have divided the tasks and we have also prepared the other dishes. The wines were very delicate and tasty. We had a lot of fun and learned so much not only about the cuisine but also about the history of Matera.

Sono davvero entusiasta di aver provato questa esperienza... Grazie a Francesco hsono riuscito a conoscere a fondo la cucina tipica della città di Matera, permettondomi di preparare in prima persona i piatti che poi abbiamo mangiato. Ho apprezzato molto l'atmosfera che si respirava in casa, molto intima e raccolta che mi ha permesso di sentirmi davvero a mio agio, come se fossi a casa mia.
