Master the art of Neapolitan flavors in the heart of the city! Join an intimate group of just 10 people at a charming restaurant steps away from the Royal Palace and the Port. Under the guidance of a professional chef, you’ll learn to create authentic handmade pasta and a classic Tiramisu from scratch. After the hard work, sit back and enjoy a delicious lunch featuring your own creations, perfectly paired with a glass of fine wine.
Duration: ~3 Hours | Location: Naples City Center (Via Medina 19 Naples) | Vibe: Intimate & Authentic.
Embark on an authentic culinary adventure in the very heart of Naples. Tucked away in a charming, intimate restaurant just steps from the Cruise Port, the San Carlo Theatre, and the Royal Palace, you will be welcomed by a professional chef ready to share the true secrets of Italian tradition. This is not just a demonstration, but a fully interactive workshop where you become the protagonist of the kitchen.
Together, we will uncover the techniques behind two timeless classics: fresh handmade pasta and the world-beloved tiramisu. Under your chef’s expert guidance, you’ll feel the flour on your hands as you knead the perfect dough, shape traditional pasta, and whisk a velvety mascarpone cream from scratch.
To ensure you don’t miss a single detail, the experience features clear, easy-to-follow instructions in both English and Italian, making the art of Italian cooking accessible to everyone. We believe in quality over quantity; therefore, each session is strictly limited to just 16 participants to maintain a personal, high-end, and immersive atmosphere.
The journey culminates at the Chef’s Table. Once the cooking is done, it’s time to sit back and savor the fruits of your labor. You’ll enjoy a light, convivial lunch featuring the very dishes you’ve helped create, all perfectly paired with a glass of fine local wine. You’ll leave not just with a full stomach, but with the skills and memories of a true Neapolitan local.
10:15 AM | Welcome & Introduction Arrive at our charming city-center restaurant. Meet your professional chef and fellow food lovers (max 10 guests) over a quick introduction to the day’s ingredients and Neapolitan culinary traditions.
10:30 AM | The Art of Tiramisu We begin with dessert! Learn the secrets of the perfect mascarpone cream and the traditional "layering" technique. Setting the Tiramisu early allows it to chill to perfection while we cook.

You will knead the dough until it reaches the ideal consistency, then learn the professional techniques for rolling, stretching, and cutting your pasta into classic shapes.
12:00 PM | From the Kitchen to the Table While the chef prepares the final touches in the professional kitchen using the pasta you just created, relax and enjoy the authentic atmosphere of the restaurant.
12:30 PM | The Chef’s Lunch It’s time to savor the results! Sit down for a convivial meal featuring your handmade pasta, served with a traditional local sauce and perfectly paired with a glass of fine Italian wine.
01:00 PM | Sweet Finale & Farewell End your journey on a high note with a tasting of your own Tiramisu and a traditional Italian espresso or limoncello.

1. Is this class suitable for beginners? Absolutely! Our professional chef is an expert at teaching all skill levels. Whether you’ve never touched flour or you’re a home-cooking enthusiast, you’ll be guided step-by-step through every technique.

3. Can you accommodate dietary restrictions? This experience is naturally vegetarian-friendly. However, because we work extensively with wheat flour (gluten) and dairy (mascarpone and eggs), we cannot guarantee a 100% gluten-free or vegan environment. Please inform us of any specific allergies when booking.

5. How many people will be in the class? We believe in quality over quantity. To keep the experience personal and interactive, we limit the group to a maximum of 10 participants. This is much smaller than most commercial cooking schools in the city.

7. Where exactly is the restaurant located? We are located in the heart of Naples (Via Medina area), just a 5-minute walk from the Cruise Port (Molo Beverello) and the Royal Palace. It’s the perfect location if you are exploring the city center or arriving by ship.
8. Do I need to bring anything? Just your appetite and a camera! We provide all the professional equipment, fresh ingredients, and aprons. You’ll also receive a Digital Recipe Booklet via email after the class so you can recreate the magic at home.
