Enjoy a prosecco and antipasti reception

Arriving at either our 17th-century palazzo next to Piazza Navona or our sleek, stylish school a stone’s throw away from the Pantheon, you’ll be greeted with a warm reception of prosecco and antipasti-style snacks.

This drinks and snacks reception provides the perfect opportunity to meet our nonna, your chef, before making your way into the kitchen.

Perfect the art of making three Roman dishes

Here’s where the fun starts. Following Nonna‘s expert guidance, you’ll dive into making and rolling out your own Italian gnocchi dough. Which sauces or fillings you use will depend on the time of year since we only source the freshest seasonal ingredients for our classes. But remember, you’re always welcome to specify if there’s a particular dish you’d like to learn.

As well as this, you’ll master the art of Italian meatballs: a classic that’s loved throughout the world. The perfect accompaniment to scrumptious gnocchi, this is the ultimate introduction to Italian cuisine. But we’re not done yet – dessert is yet to come!

Indulge in your meal with a choice of local wines, beers or coffee

At the end of this unique and unforgettable experience, you’ll have a chance to linger over a lunch or dinner of what you prepared in class, accompanied by a wide selection of soft and alcoholic drinks to suit every taste.
