Sanremo pasta cooking class: Tagliatelle, ravioli & gnocchi

Cook pasta by hand, then sit down to eat it while the view stays the same

A pasta cooking class in Sanremo where you make tagliatelle, ravioli, and gnocchi or orecchiette by hand in a private kitchen, then move to the terrace for lunch or dinner with the dishes you've prepared. The instructor teaches traditional family recipes in English, Italian, French or Chinese, and children from age 5 are welcome. The class runs about two and a half hours and includes all tools, an apron, water, coffee or tea, and the meal itself.

The experience

The class starts in the apartment kitchen where you get your own workspace, apron and ingredients. The instructor walks through each dish (tagliatelle, ravioli, and either gnocchi or orecchiette depending on the season) showing you the hand techniques that turn flour and eggs into pasta. You're not watching a demo. You're making each one yourself while the instructor moves between you, correcting your fold, your thickness, your pressure. Along the way you'll pick up the Italian names for what you're using and the stories behind each recipe, the kind of detail that turns a dinner party trick into something that actually feels like you know what you're doing.

Once everything is cooked, you move to the terrace. The sea view stays constant whether the day is sunny or rainy. It's just a different light on the same water. You eat the pasta you made, finished with the sauces the instructor prepared: tagliatelle with pesto, orecchiette with tomato, ravioli with butter and sage. Real Italian coffee closes the meal, along with more local tips and the kind of stories that don't make it into cookbooks.

Is this one for you?The class is hands-on from start to finish (you're making pasta, not watching someone else make it), and it runs about two and a half hours, so it fits a morning or early afternoon without eating the whole day. Book this if you want to leave with an actual skill, not just a memory.
