What to expect
You'll arrive at a compact rooftop kitchen in a residential flat and be welcomed with cheese, bread, and an aperitivo. The instructor will walk you through gnocchi-making—mixing, kneading, shaping—explaining technique rather than rushing. Between courses, you'll prep the dessert while the first course cooks. Expect flour on your hands, real conversation, and a casual pace that lets you absorb what's happening. Lunch unfolds over an hour, wine poured course by course. Coffee and chocolate wrap things up. It's intimate, not choreographed.
Good to know
The flat is near public transport. Prams and strollers are fine for infants; small children sit on laps. A resident dog lives here, so avoid booking if you have allergies. The kitchen cannot accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, or egg-free requirements.
