About this tour
Learn to make three signature La Spezia pasta dishes in a home cook's kitchen. You'll work through authentic regional recipes at your own station, then sit down to eat what you've made with local wines. This is run by Cesarine, a network of home cooks across Italy who invite travellers into their own kitchens for proper cooking sessions, not performances. Three hours, all ingredients and equipment provided.
Highlights
- Make three regional pasta recipes from scratch

What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and settle in at a dedicated cooking station stocked with everything you need. Your host walks through three classic La Spezia pasta recipes, showing technique and sharing the reasoning behind each step. You'll work through the dough, shaping and cooking while the host circulates, offering guidance. Once everything's ready, you gather to eat together—the pasta you've made, paired with local wines. Expect roughly two hours of hands-on cooking and an hour of eating and talking.
Good to know
The host's home follows sanitary protocols; hand-washing facilities and sanitiser are available. Public transport reaches the location easily. Bring an appetite and willingness to get your hands floured. Wine and coffee included.
