Top Tropea Classes & Workshops

Mani in Pasta (hands in the dough)! What we offer is not only a cooking class. While preparing the dishes we talk (even in Italian, why not), we laugh and we learn. Marianna, the Tropean chef, is the classic "yesteryear lady", a lovely housewife who keeps the secrets of traditional Calabrian cuisine. In each session that we offer, in a real domestic kitchen, we will prepare some traditional fresh pasta. The typical pasta of Tropea (and not only) - 'fileja and maltagliati' or "orecchiette, "tagliatelle", "cavatelli" - will be seasoned for tasting with 2 other exclusive products of the area: the 'sweet' red onion of Tropea PGI (as a vegetarian option) and the “n'duja” of Spilinga PGI, famous spicy spreadable salami based of pork and Calabrian pepper or with a special chickpeas and sage recipe. Plus, Marianna prepares always a surprise as a special extra dish to taste all together. All this in a jovial and cheerful atmosphere and, naturally, all accompanied with some good Calabrian wine that we will taste at the time of the aperitif and for the whole duration of the activity. At the end limoncello or homemade chocolate liqueur for everyone. Prosit! Other things to note For security reasons, we cannot accept guests with serious food allergies or intolerances. For special requests on food, drink or, in general, about the menu, these must be notified in advance.

Learn to make fresh pasta from scratch at a small-group cooking class in Tropea, where you’ll prepare two kinds of pasta accompanied by two traditional sauces. The class covers basic skills at the heart of dozens of classic Italian meals, making it easy to recreate the super-fresh pastas and rich sauces in your home kitchen.

We have created a small multipurpose platform that aims to offer educational, recreational and cultural services to all those who love Italy and our lifestyle. The limited number of students, where you can find a friendly and completely informal atmosphere, is certainly our strength (we keep in our mind all the faces of the students we hosted), because we learn but, above all, we have fun at the same time.
