Let's Start Living The Italian Dream
Cooking Class in Castel Gandolfo: discover, cook, and enjoy our authentic Italian experience
Start your journey in the charming medieval town of Castel Gandolfo, known for its history as the Summer residence of the Popes since the 1600s. Nestled high in the Alban Hills, overlooking the picturesque Lake Albano, Castel Gandolfo is one of Italy’s most scenic destinations. During your visit, we will explore the town, capture stunning photos, and take in the local atmosphere. After a leisurely stroll, we will shop for fresh, local ingredients before heading to our cooking space for an authentic Italian culinary experience.
In our hands-on cooking class, you will learn how to make traditional Italian pasta from scratch, paired with delicious sauce. We will also prepare some other dishes and a mouthwatering Italian dessert. Aprons on, sleeves rolled up, and ready to cook!
Our cooking experience is a fun and interactive way to dive into Italy’s rich culinary traditions. While cooking, we will treat you at a selection of local wines and regional specialties, including cheeses, olives, and porchetta. Once everything is ready, we’ll sit down together and savor the delicious meal we’ve prepared.
