Private cooking classes and events
Our private cooking classes and dinners are the perfect setting to create memorable moments with friends, to celebrate a birthday or to mark a special milestone
For our private events we have two options to choose from, a cooking class followed by a meal or a private dinner where we take care of the cooking so that you can enjoy a delicious Italian meal with friends.
COOKING CLASS:
More than just about food, our events are a unique experience, different from others. Our family style kitchen in Notting Hill brings people together in a warm and charming space all whilst learning how to cook authentic Italian recipes.
We will welcome your group with an aperitivo before starting the cooking to create a feast of seasonal antipasti, homemade pasta and a seasonal dessert. The cooking will last about 1h30 and before sitting down to enjoy a delicious meal of everything created together.
Classes last 3 hours which includes the time to enjoy the meal. There is the option to add extra time onto your booking to enjoy the space for an additional hour.
PRIVATE DINNER:
Our private dinners are typically a three hour event where we will serve a delicious menu of four sharing antipasti, followed by a pasta dish and a dessert. We will send you menu options to chose from and there is the option to add extra time onto your booking to enjoy the space for an additional hour.
