About this tour
Learn to shape gnocchi from scratch in a Neapolitan home kitchen, guided by a local cook who shares the techniques passed through generations. This 2.5-hour class in Naples teaches you how to knead, roll, and cut pillowy potato dumplings the traditional way, finishing with a sit-down meal of what you've made, paired with prosecco or local wine. You'll leave with muscle memory and recipes to recreate it at home.
Highlights
- Roll and cut gnocchi by hand using authentic Neapolitan methods
- Cook your own dish and eat it straight away
- Prosecco or regional wine included with lunch or dinner
- Work in a family kitchen, not a commercial studio
- Chef's hat, apron, and all equipment provided
What to expect
You'll arrive at a residential kitchen in Naples where your host walks you through each stage: mixing flour and potatoes, kneading the dough to the right consistency, shaping individual gnocchi, and cooking them. Expect to use your hands throughout—this isn't demonstration-only. Once your batch hits boiling water and floats to the surface, you'll plate it up with sauce and sit down to eat with your instructor. Conversation flows naturally; this feels like cooking with a knowledgeable friend, not a formal lesson.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The kitchen is accessible by public transport. Strollers are welcome if you're bringing young children. Lunch or dinner timing depends on your booking—confirm beforehand which meal slot you've chosen.
