Time for Enjoying the Meal and Socialising

Celebrate the hard work by eating the pasta dish, pairing it with a lovely prosecco, while socialising with the other attendees.


Begin your evening with a warm Italian welcome. As you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a glass of premium sparkling wine and a selection of traditional antipasti, setting the perfect mood for a relaxed and friendly pasta workshop.
To start, you’ll enjoy a tasting of different sparkling wines while learning how to recognise their aromas, flavours, and textures. You’ll also discover how beautifully bubbles pair with Italian cuisine.
Once everyone is feeling inspired, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and dive into pasta making. You’ll begin by preparing fresh pasta dough from scratch, learning simple kneading techniques while hearing fascinating stories about pasta’s history and traditions. With guidance, you’ll transform your dough into delicate strands of tagliatelle — one of Italy’s most beloved pasta shapes.
Next comes the cooking. Your freshly made tagliatelle will be served with a rich, traditional meat ragù. A vegetarian option will also be available, and special dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.
When everything is ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy the fruits of your work. More sparkling wine will be poured as the room fills with lively conversation, laughter, and the joy of sharing food together.
At the end of the experience, you’ll receive a PDF recipe so you can recreate your handmade pasta at home and impress friends and family. You’ll leave with new skills, great memories, and a refreshed spirit. There’s nothing quite like the pride of creating something with your own hands — and, of course, the pleasure of enjoying the delicious dish you’ve made.
Location
The workshop takes place in a private flat near Victoria Station. The aim is to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, just like being in a real Italian family home. You’ll feel comfortable the moment you step inside.
For larger groups (over 10 people), such as corporate events, birthday celebrations, hen parties, or team-building experiences, a professional kitchen will be required. These venues are located in different areas of London, including Victoria, Old Street, Borough, and Covent Garden. Venue hire is subject to availability and an additional fee will apply. Please get in touch for more details.
Get ready for a delicious and joyful handmade pasta experience.

Recent reviews of Italian Cooking Class and Prosecco Tasting Experience

  • 5/5 from Tom Sparks, attended Sep 2026: Our group of five had the best Saturday afternoon making pasta with Luca. He made us feel right at home and his hospitality was exceptional! Delicious ragu and wonderful company. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Luca!
  • 5/5 from Alexis Vicini, attended Sep 2026: Amazing cooking class with Luca who's a great host, full of energy and really thinking about his guests and the experience he shares. We had a lot of prosecco (4-5 glasses each), Italian starters, then prepared the dough and pasta with a lot of explanation and facts about Italian life/history, an amazing ragù and even a Sicilian cannolo to conclude. I strongly recommend and think about booking another class with Luca at some point. Grazie mille per la tua ospitalità.
  • 5/5 from Emma Theedom, attended Sep 2026: We had a really fun evening with Luca in Victoria! We had an cosy session with just four of us, but it was really lovely getting to know new people, learning how to make pasta and eating Luca’s delicious ragu. Luca was a really accommodating, generous host and teacher. I’d definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Rochelle L Burrows, attended May 2026: We had a great time on this pasta making class. The recipe was simple but delicious and we are looking forward to making it ourselves at home. The class itself felt very relaxed, and although we were all new to each other the atmosphere made it feel like a dinner amongst friends. Luca is an extremely patient and helpful teacher. He's very personable and easy to get along with. We are already considering what classes we can take next. I highly recommend the class if you are considering it - the food is great!

  • 5/5 from Antra Ozinika, attended Feb 2026: This was my second pasta-making class with Luca, and once again it was fantastic. This time we made tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù. We had so much fun preparing the tagliatelle ourselves, and the ragù- pre-cooked by Luca- was served at the end with our freshly made pasta. It was absolutely exquisite. There was also a surprise at the end, which I won’t mention so I don’t spoil it for anyone in case it’s planned for future classes- but it was such a lovely touch! What truly makes these classes special isn’t just the pasta (though it’s incredible), it’s the atmosphere Luca creates. He brings such great energy, warmth, and passion that the experience becomes about so much more than cooking. It’s engaging, welcoming, and genuinely memorable. I can’t recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 from Parul, attended Aug 2024: Booked a pasta class with Luca for a hen party. We were a large group (>10 people). Personally really enjoyed the class and had great feedback from other people as well. Would like to thank Luca for taking into account and catering to everyone's dietary requirements. It was very easy to contact him and discuss the various options. On the day of the class, we enjoyed the private venue setting and the flexibility offered during the class (giving us time to socialise in between). The appetisers and drinks served were delicious. The pasta (made by us) was not too bad at all, made very tasty with the sauce Luca had prepared. He also maintained a good level of energy throughout and was easy to approach and friendly. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a group activity - small or large - he offers lots of different options as well to suit different levels of skillsets and best of all he is quick to respond and catering to different personal choices.

  • 5/5 from Becca, attended Dec 2023: We had a really enjoyable and special evening. It’s important to be aware: this isn’t your typical cooking class. It’s more like a dinner party where you get to meet and talk to new people, and learn a bit about pasta-making along the way. If you go in with that mindset, then you’ll have an amazing time. Luca is great at putting people at ease and getting the conversation started, and the food was delicious.
  • 5/5 from Naomi Hook, attended Dec 2023: We had such a good evening, so much fun and Luca is such a brilliant host. Would highly recommend and the pasta was incredible

I started Cook with Luca because I wanted to share the joy of making traditional Italian soul food from scratch.
The aim of my pasta workshops is simple: to help you relax, enjoy yourself, and connect with others while sharing ideas, cooking tips, and a glass of wine over a delicious meal.
My classes are not only about cooking — they’re an opportunity to learn new skills, deepen your knowledge of Italian culture, and socialise with like-minded food lovers. Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling more confident in the kitchen, ready to invite friends and family over and impress them with your homemade dishes.
