Welcome to the heart of Salento's flavour

Tradition, passion and authenticity:

these are the ingredients that unite Cooking Experience and Tipico Restaurant.

On one hand, the art of Salento cuisine taught with love by our chef Gianna Greco and Maya, through experiential courses designed for those who wish to get hands-on and discover the secrets of tradition; on the other hand, a restaurant where those same flavours come to life every day, with dishes that tell stories of family, territory, and seasonality.

Whether you want to learn to cook or simply be pampered at the table, here you will find a world made of authentic flavours, deep roots, and sincere hospitality.

Authenticity

Authenticity is the thread that connects every gesture in the kitchen and every dish served at the table.

At Cooking Experience, a Tipico Restaurant, the key is to do things the old-fashioned way, but with an eye on the present.

Passion

Passion is the soul of everything we do, it is in the hands that knead, in the eyes that teach.

A Cooking Experience and Tipico Restaurant, passion transforms into experience, taste, and sharing.

Essence

In a world that rushes, we choose to slow down, to seek, behind every dish, the essence: the reason for a flavour, the origin of a gesture, the deep meaning of a tradition.

A Cooking Experience and Tipico Restaurant, the essence is what remains when you remove the superfluous.

Tradition

The tradition for us is not a simple concept, but the beating heart of every experience. It is in the secrets of family recipes, in the gestures passed down from generation to generation, and in the authentic flavours that tell stories of territory, roots, and togetherness.

A unique experience

Among authentic flavours, hands in dough and stories to share, every moment becomes an unforgettable memory.
