Pompei’s Pasta Secrets: A Culinary Journey

Join Chef Francesca in her warm home near Pompeii for a hands-on, heartwarming vegetarian cooking experience. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed like family—with a refreshing welcome aperitif, Italian bruschetta, a generous assortment of local cheeses, and a colorful grilled vegetable antipasto.

Then, it's time to get your hands in the dough! Choose your favorite from classic tagliatelle, pillowy gnocchi, or handmade ravioli, and follow Francesca as she guides you through the traditional techniques of fresh pasta making. You'll also learn to create a flavorful Neapolitan sauce, using only fresh, seasonal ingredients.

After cooking, you’ll sit down with Francesca and her family to enjoy the full Italian lunch you’ve prepared, paired with unlimited local wine and coffee, and of course, a homemade Italian dessert to finish on a sweet note.

And if you’re an animal lover, you’re in for a treat—Francesca’s friendly German Shepherd is part of the family too! He’s playful, gentle, and loves making new friends, adding an extra touch of warmth to this unforgettable experience.

This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a slice of real Italy, filled with flavor, laughter, and heartfelt hospitality.
