What To Expect
Meet your host Cinzia, a kind and gentle host for whom food is love and life, and explore her favorite local food stores to shop at. Start with a cup of coffee at one of Cinzia's favorite cafes before you visit a high-end, historical supermarket known for its high-quality, specialty products. Next, visit a small family-owned grocery store to pick up fresh vegetables for your cooking class. Depending on the menu, you may make a few additional stops at either a wine, bread, chocolate or cheese shop.
Your hands-on cooking class takes place on the patio in Cinzia’s home. Watch as Cinzia prepares an appetizer for you to enjoy before you roll up your sleeves and learn to cook regional Italian pasta from recipes passed down through generations of Cinzia’s family. You will cook three Italian dishes from scratch including a side or dessert. Choose between a menu of either three handmade pastas and accompanying sauces or a pasta and meat main course. Please note your preference when booking.
