WHAT YOU’LL DO

Learn Italian gnocchi making in this cooking class hosted at a trendy cocktail lounge.

In this cooking class, you’ll turn simple ingredients into light and fluffy Italian gnocchi from scratch. You’ll mix ricotta and Parmesan into dough, then learn how to shape and cook each piece for tender results while building confidence with classic pasta-making techniques.

Next, you’ll create a creamy pesto sauce with fresh basil, garlic, cream and lemon to pair with your handmade gnocchi. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical tips that make homemade Italian cooking feel approachable and fun. If a few gnocchi come out with their own unique personalities, that just adds character to the plate. Book your spot today!

Beverages are available for purchase to enhance your experience. Guests must be 21+ to attend.
