What to expect
Ciao! We will introduce each other and you will be given a white apron and be assigned to a working station.
First of all, you will make the sauce for your Gnocchi, tomato & basil with top-quality ingredients. While the sauce is simmering you will start "getting dirty" and make the dough with flours, eggs, and potatoes. When the dough is ready we will start to create our Gnocchi by creating long and thin "sausages" of pasta and cutting them into small cylinders. After that, we will start shaping our gnocchi with the "rigapasta", an essential tool to get the lines on the gnocchi so that the sauce will get stuck on them.
Finally, we will cook Gnocchi, mix them with the tomato & basil sauce and we will sit together and enjoy our home-made Italian Gnocchi.
Along with the experience you will be offered unlimited wine and drinks so that you won't be thirsty.

This was an AMAZING experience! MUST DO experience in the Veneto region of Italy. Francesco is so knowledgeable, a great teacher, and a wonderful host. My husband and I did that class together— we have different experience levels with making fresh pasta. I make fresh pasta quite frequently and my husband does not. Neither of us have ever made gnocchi. We both learned a lot and made delicious gnocchi with white sauce. This class is great for all experience levels. Francesco walked us through every step of preparing the fresh dough, shaping the gnocchi, and making a delicious white sauce. The class is very hands on and you will do all of the work so when you go home you are confident you can make gnocchi on your own. Francesco served us Italian wine with our lunch. The location is very picturesque right in downtown padova. We had lots of leftover gnocchi to take home for dinner. We will definitely be doing more classes with Francesco. I highly recommend this class.johndonaldfaflunky

Chef was friendly and on top of things. Showed us step-by-step technique for making proper Venetian gnocchi, which we intend to replicate. Shared food from other couple who were making lasagne. Had plenty left over for a dinner a few days later.
