What to expect
You'll arrive at Silvia's home kitchen in a quiet Ravenna neighbourhood. She'll walk you through making pasta by hand—rolling, cutting, shaping—using techniques her grandmother taught her. Expect flour on your hands and some trial-and-error; she adjusts the pace to your skill level. You'll prepare two or three dishes depending on complexity and season. Halfway through or after cooking, you'll sit at her table with your finished plates, wine poured, and eat together. It's unhurried and conversational rather than a polished performance.
Good to know
Advise of allergies and dietary needs at booking so Silvia can plan accordingly. Public transport gets you near; no hotel transfers included. Bring an apron or wear something you don't mind flour on. Three hours includes both cooking and eating, so plan accordingly.
