Italian Lunch Cooking Experience

Join us for a warm, cheerful afternoon in this hands-on Italian cooking class inspired by the sunny flavors of Italy. In this relaxed midday class, you’ll prepare a comforting and satisfying menu perfect for any day of the year!

We’ll start with Zuppa Toscana—a hearty Tuscan soup with sausage, kale, and potatoes—paired with garlicky ciabatta fresh from the oven. You’ll also make a crisp shaved fennel and citrus salad, a classic caprese bursting with peak-season tomatoes and mozzarella, and finish with a rich, creamy tiramisu.

Whether you’re here for the food, the fun, or the fresh Italian flavors, this class is a perfect midday escape. Buon appetito!

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Pinot Grigio, a floral Vermentino, a dry Italian Rosé, a smooth Chianti, or a sweet Vin Santo to pair beautifully with the tiramisu.
