Padua Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with Local Host

Summary

Small Group Italian Cooking Experience in Padua

Make two kinds of fresh pasta from scratch in a Padua home kitchen, guided by a local cook who shares family stories along the way. Sip prosecco during an Italian aperitivo, then finish with homemade tiramisu and plenty of laughs—a food experience that sticks with you long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

The kitchen smelled like coffee and flour when we walked in—honestly, I was already hungry. Our host, Lucia, waved us over with a wooden spoon and said, “Aprons on!” There were only six of us around her table, sunlight coming through the window onto the big bowl of eggs. I’d never tried rolling pasta dough before; it’s stickier than I thought, but kind of fun once you get the hang of it.

We laughed a lot—especially when my tagliatelle came out looking more like shoelaces than noodles. Lucia just grinned and showed me again, her hands moving so fast. She told us about her grandmother making this same recipe every Sunday. The prosecco was cold and bubbly, and there were little plates of olives and cheese to snack on while we worked. Someone asked about tiramisu secrets, and Lucia winked: “It’s all in the coffee.”

I still remember the sound of everyone chatting over plates of fresh pasta at the end—steam rising up, a bit of parmesan everywhere. The tiramisu tasted lighter than any I’ve had before (maybe it was all that whisking). It felt less like a class and more like being invited into someone’s home for lunch. If you’re searching for a real private wine tour or cooking class in Padua, this is honestly what you want.
