You’ll shop your own ingredients at family-run eateries and pick herbs from a rooftop terrace.  Then it’s time to put on your apron, roll up your sleeves and begin preparing your pasta feast.

The experience ends with a giant family-style lunch with your new friends, where you’ll enjoy your own cooking with plenty of perfectly paired wine.

This was by far our favorite thing we did in our entire Italy trip! The class was well organized, fun, and DELICIOUS!! My husband and I learned so much about how to make great pasta and sauces. We can’t wait to try the recipes at home.

I had such a wonderful time! As a solo traveler it was hard finding cooking classes that didn’t require 2 or more people to sign up in order to attend, so it was awesome to find one I could join! I adore cooking and all things Italian food and I would have to say, this class was perfect for cooks and non cooks alike.
