About this tour
Learn to craft tortellini from dough to table alongside Mamma Ivana in her Verona kitchen. This three-hour session teaches you the entire process—rolling, filling, folding—before you sit down to eat what your own hands have made. You'll work with proper pasta equipment in an unhurried, family-style setting where technique matters more than speed.
Highlights
- Roll and shape tortellini on a real pasta machine
- Fill and fold pasta parcels by hand with guidance
- Cook your finished tortellini and eat it straightaway
- Work in Mamma's own kitchen, not a commercial studio
- Three hours with no rushing or large group chaos
What to expect
You'll start at the basics: mixing flour and eggs, kneading dough until it's silky. Mamma shows you how to feed it through the machine, getting it thin enough to see light through. Then comes the meditative work of spooning filling, folding, and sealing each pocket. Expect flour under your fingernails and on your apron. After an hour or so of hands-on work, you cook a batch and taste the results over lunch. It's unhurried and conversational—there's time to ask questions and watch closely.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting dusted with flour. The kitchen is accessible for wheelchairs; prams and strollers fit comfortably. Service animals welcome. Public transport stops nearby. No special fitness level needed; it's all about patience and following steps.
