More Than a Class, a Memory!
There's no chef in a tall hat here. There's a family, two grandmothers, a countryside kitchen and flour on your hands. You learn to make pasta the way it's always been done in our home and experience the warmth of Calabrian togetherness.
What You Will Do
Aperitivo in the Garden
We start with a warm Italian welcome: a refreshing Spritz under the pergola in our country garden. Surrounded by the scent of lemons and flowers, we get to know the family and break the ice.

Garden Tour
While the pasta rests, we take a stroll through our garden to discover our crops and flowers. Along the way you'll find chickens, rabbits, geese and ducks — a real countryside farm.
