About this tour
Step into a Milanese kitchen and cook alongside a classically trained Italian chef in their home. Over three hours, you'll prepare two fresh pasta shapes with contrasting sauces and a traditional dessert, building real techniques rather than following rote instructions. This isn't a classroom setup—it's cooking as Italians actually do it, with drinks, snacks, and a full meal shared at the family table. You choose what to make based on what appeals to you.

What to expect
You'll arrive at your chef's home and jump straight into prep. Expect your hands in dough within minutes—rolling, shaping, tasting. The chef demonstrates once, then guides you through it. Mistakes and mess are part of it. Mid-way through, you'll taste wines or try aperitivos. Once cooking wraps, everything lands on plates and you sit down properly to eat, not standing around a demo bench. Coffee or tea rounds things off. Menus shift seasonally, so what you cook varies, but you pick the focus when booking.
Good to know
Bring an appetite and wear something you don't mind flouring. The kitchen is compact—it's a real home, not a spacious studio. Public transport reaches the location easily. Children and infants are fine; just let them know beforehand if you're bringing a pram.
