Description
Good to Know
What sets this experience apart is its combination of traditional Italian craftsmanship, hands-on cooking and the pleasure of sharing a meal together. Learn to prepare authentic pesto using a traditional marble mortar and pestle, then make fresh pasta completely from scratch, from the dough to the final dish. The experience goes beyond cooking, with a relaxed Italian-style finale featuring homemade sorbet, white wine and a Limoncello Spritz. It is an authentic and convivial way to experience Italian food traditions through the techniques, flavours and rituals that bring people together around the table.

Step into the heart of Italian cuisine and discover the pleasure of making pasta from scratch, surrounded by the aromas and flavors of authentic Italian cooking.
We’ll begin with pesto al mortaio, prepared traditionally by hand using a marble mortar and pestle. You’ll discover how a few simple ingredients — fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic and extra virgin olive oil — come together to create one of Italy’s most iconic sauces.
Then it’s time to get your hands in the dough and learn how to make fresh homemade pasta, from preparing the dough to shaping and cooking it.
To finish, we’ll enjoy a refreshing homemade sorbet, accompanied by a glass of white wine and a Limoncello Spritz — the perfect Italian toast to a shared culinary experience.
More than a cooking class, Pesto & Pasta is an invitation to slow down, cook together and experience the Italian way of gathering around the table.
