“Great cooking class, very friendly family. We learned to cook typical Sardinian cugliones and pasta. We can really recommend this”
Join Maria Immacolata in her home near Olbia for a three-hour English-language cooking class. Learn two pasta shapes and tiramisu, enjoy your meal with wine, and hear how Sardinian food differs from cooking elsewhere in Italy. Groups are limited to 10 people.
“This by far was one of the BEST experiences my husband and I had. The one on one attention and learning from someone’s home was so beautiful and inviting. Maria Was kind and patient and walked us through making two traditional pasta plates and tiramisu. We even got lost and she came to find us in her car. One tip we learned is to go by the email maps and to use Apple Maps not Google maps or Waze. This is something that you definitely want to go to it is so much more authentic then the other classes. It is the best! Or as Italians would say “il migliore!!””
Join Giulia in a real Sardinian kitchen near Cagliari for a three-hour, hands-on class making culurgiones and fresh tagliatelle. You’ll eat what you prepare with antipasti, regional wine, dessert, and homemade Mirto, then take home digital recipes.
“Giulia is a talented chef, and a terrific teacher. We made 2 different fresh pastas. Culurgiones was a new one to us and typical to Sardinia. Both pastas came out great and we're delicious. What a fun lunch that was.”
Meet Ovan in Quartu Sant’Elena for a small, English-language pasta workshop focused on Sardinian shapes, stuffed culurgiones, whole wheat flour, and plant-based cooking. You’ll shape your own pasta, prepare the sauces, and sit down to a three-course meal with coffee or tea afterward.
“Agréable moment privilégié en tête à tête avec le chef Ovan. Nous avons apprécié aussi bien sa patience et ses explications sur la confection de différentes pâtes que ses excellentes recettes ! C’est une personne qui aime ce qu’il fait et qu’il le transmet de manière exemplaire !”
Meet Grandma Maria and hostess Barbara at Albergo Diffuso Mannois in Orosei for a private, English-language pasta class. You’ll make traditional maccarrones by hand, hear about Sardinian customs, then sit down for pasta, appetizers, and possibly wine in a relaxed family setting.
“Absolutely great experience – highly recommended for everyone! 😀 Excellent service that I would definitely use again.”
Meet in Olbia at 4:00 pm for a four-hour pasta workshop led in English. Learn to shape malloreddus, ravioli, gnocchi, and Ogliastra’s culurgiones, then sit down to taste your handmade pasta in a modern Sardinian meal. Isabella may be your friendly host.
“A fun afternoon! A mix of learning and relaxing. Isabella was friendly and a great host! Would recommend!”
Pick a city, a shape of pasta, or a bench with the wine left open.
