About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in a Milanese home to craft pasta by hand alongside your host, then sit down to eat what you've made. This 90-minute session starts with an aperitivo and appetiser, walks you through shaping fresh dough, and finishes with your finished pasta paired with wine. You'll leave understanding why Italians take their pasta seriously—and with muscles that remember the technique.
Highlights
- Hand-roll fresh pasta from flour and eggs in a home kitchen
- Sip aperitivo and nibble antipasti before you start
- Cook and taste your own tagliatelle or pappardelle
- Pair your dish with local wine
- Learn practical tips you can replicate at home
What to expect
Your host welcomes you into their lived-in Milanese kitchen with drinks and snacks. Then it's straight to the work surface: they'll show you how to mix, knead, and rest the dough, then guide your hands through rolling, cutting, and shaping. It's messy and tactile. Once your pasta is ready, you'll cook it together, dress it simply, and eat at their table with wine. Expect flour under your fingernails and genuine conversation—this isn't theatre, it's a neighbour teaching you something they know.
Good to know
The experience runs 90 minutes total. Wear clothes you don't mind dusting with flour. Public transport links the neighbourhood well. You'll leave full and capable of attempting this at home.
