For us learning”culinary arts” starts with a good wine.
We serve you local but internationally recognised and prized wines, on the house, for you to start your “cooking course” in a good mood.
Classes always begin with a traditional starter accompanied by a chilled, typically Umbrian, white wine from the Grechetto vineyard. Pale yellow in colour, this wine has a distinctive, intense, fruity taste which lingers harmoniously on the palate. A ruby coloured red wine, tasting of berries and coming from the Ciliegiolo vineyard, is served to accompany first courses, cold cuts and cheeses.
And then of course there is the basis of Italian cuisine, extra virgin olive oil, the only oil that we use in our kitchen, for our recipes, in your own creations and of course on your favourite bruschetta!
Are fettuccine your forbidden desire? So fulfill it! We’ll teach you how to make them and cook them with traditional Italian sauces and a traditional dessert to end our class on a sweet note. You will return home able to prepare a perfect and delicious Italian lunch for your family and friends!
