Private Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Milan: Cook in a Local Home

Learn authentic pasta and tiramisu recipes then enjoy your creation with local wine at home

A private pasta and tiramisu-making class in a Milan home where you learn from a Cesarina, a local home cook, and prepare two pasta recipes and tiramisu from scratch, then taste them with local wines. The class runs three hours and suits families with children of any age. English and Italian instruction available.

The experience

You arrive at a Cesarina's home in Milan and spend the afternoon learning how to make two pasta dishes and tiramisu the way her family has made them. She walks you through each step, revealing the techniques that turn simple ingredients into the region's most famous dishes. You're not watching a demonstration. You're doing the work yourself, getting your hands into the dough and learning the tricks that separate a good pasta from the one that tastes like home. The class runs three hours, and by the end you've made something real.

Once the cooking is done, you sit down to taste everything you've made, paired with local wines, water and coffee. This is the meal (the pasta you rolled, the tiramisu you layered), and it's yours to eat. The Cesarine network operates in more than 120 cities across Italy, and each host opens her own home to travelers looking for something beyond a restaurant. You're eating in someone's kitchen, not a commercial space, and the instruction comes from someone who cooks this way every day.
