Overview

Step into a hands-on journey that celebrates Italy’s simple, time-honored flavors. Discover the essence of the sun-drenched countryside through fresh ingredients and soulful techniques that bring each dish to life.

With expert guidance, craft delicate linguine from scratch, paired with juicy cherry tomatoes, fragrant basil, and tender shrimp—a vibrant expression of honest Italian cooking. Complement your plate with a crisp nectarine and arugula salad topped with creamy burrata, then finish with a vanilla bean affogato—where bold espresso meets silky gelato.
