What You’ll Experience

Escape the tourist crowds and dive into true Palermitan home cooking with this 1.5-hour hands-on pasta-making class in a cozy local home. This experience invites you to learn the secrets of fresh pasta, enjoy regional flavors, and share an unforgettable meal in a friendly and intimate setting. Your journey begins with a traditional Italian welcome, featuring a small appetizer and aperitif as you get to know your host and fellow guests. Then, roll up your sleeves and jump into the art of pasta-making! You’ll mix, knead, and shape classic pasta dishes such as scialatielli, fettuccine, or ravioli, following techniques that have been passed down through generations in Palermo. Once your pasta is ready, it’s time to sit down and enjoy your homemade masterpiece! Gather around the table in true Italian fashion, toast with a bottle of wine (one per three guests), and savor every bite of your freshly prepared dish. If you’d like, end your meal with a classic Neapolitan dessert or an authentic espresso, just as the locals do.
