Italian Countryside Date Night Cooking Experience

About This Italian Cooking Class

Step into the sun-drenched rhythm of rural Italy for an evening inspired by the warmth, generosity, and richness of life in the countryside. Imagine the rolling vineyards, olive groves, and bustling village kitchens where meals are crafted slowly, with love, laughter, and more than a little wine. In this hands-on class, you, your partner, and your new friends will prepare a rustic yet elegant menu that celebrates Italian tradition while offering flavors bold enough to make Nonna proud.

We’ll begin with a vibrant antipasta salad brimming with fresh vegetables, cured meats, and cheeses—a lively, colorful start that sets the tone. Then, we’ll dive into the classic comfort of stuffed artichokes, tender leaves filled with savory goodness. From there, the menu continues with a warming white bean gratin, hearty yet refined, and handmade agnolotti filled with black garlic and braised short rib, a dish that balances depth, earthiness, and indulgence in every bite.

Finally, the evening ends on a sweet note: you’ll learn the art of making crisp, creamy cannoli, shaping the shells and filling them with luscious ricotta cream, just as they’ve been enjoyed across generations.

This is more than a cooking class—it’s a celebration of Italian life, designed for couples, friends, or anyone who believes food tastes better when shared. It’s a memorable evening filled with good food, better company, and the timeless joy of cooking from the heart. Mangia!

BYOB

We suggest a bold Barbera, a smooth Chianti Classico, a dry Italian Rosato, a sparkling Lambrusco, or a rich, slightly sweet Vin Santo.

ADMIT TWO

Each ticket admits two people! You don’t have to bring a romantic partner; friends, gal pals, adult kids, parents, anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with is great!

The Last Days of Pompeii Night Cooking Experience

 

An Ancient Roman Cooking Class

Step back in time for an evening of ancient flavors and timeless romance as we commemorate the final days of Pompeii with a hands-on culinary experience inspired by the foods of the Roman Empire. Imagine dining in a villa overlooking the Bay of Naples, surrounded by candlelight and conversation, as you savor dishes drawn directly from archaeological research and historical texts. This unique evening allows you to taste the very foods enjoyed by citizens of Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius forever changed their world.

The menu brings the past vividly to life with elegant simplicity and bold flavors. We’ll begin with stuffed dates and figs, a delicacy enjoyed by Roman elites, followed by herbed ricotta with honey and walnuts and panis quadratus, the Roman-style bread famously found carbonized in the ruins of Pompeii. Next, sample coriander-scented chickpeas, a nod to the ubiquitous street food of the time, before moving on to house-made Lucanian pork sausage, adapted from the two-thousand-year-old cookbook of Apicius. A smooth parsnip purée accompanies the savory spread. Finally, for dessert, we’ll prepare pear patina, a delicately spiced custard beloved in the ancient world.

Held on the (probable) anniversary of Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in AD 79, this immersive date night offers more than just a meal—it’s a journey into history, culture, and flavor. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or simply in search of a truly one-of-a-kind evening, join us to taste the romance and richness of ancient Rome—one course at a time.

BYOB

We suggest an Italian white wine, like a Falanghina, ancient Aglianico, or Vermentino.

A Taste of Tuscany Date Night Cooking Experience

Transport yourselves to the golden hills of Tuscany for an evening of hands-on cooking, bold flavors, and Italian hospitality. In this cozy, couples-friendly class, we’ll explore rustic yet refined Tuscan dishes made to be shared—and savored.

Together we’ll prepare an abundant menu, starting with a trio of classic antipasti: crostini toscani with savory chicken liver pâté, bruschetta with ripe tomatoes and basil, and crostini con fichi e ricotta—a sweet-salty bite of fig and creamy cheese. We’ll toss a crisp arugula salad with shaved pecorino, then dive into pasta-making as we hand-roll fresh spaghetti to pair with a garlicky tomato sauce. For the main event, you’ll learn to sear and roast an herb-crusted pork loin to juicy perfection.

We’ll finish with something sweet and distinctly Tuscan: Torta della Nonna, a lemon custard and pine nut tarts, delicate, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Whether it’s your first class or your fifth, this date night promises warmth, flavor, and a delicious memory made by hand.

 

BYOB

We suggest a Chianti or Rosso di Montalcino if you prefer reds, a Vermentino or Vernaccia di San Gimignano or similar Tuscan white if you prefer whites, and a dry or semi-dry Lambrusco if you want something sparkling.
