Join Sarah, a passionate fresh pasta expert with over 5,000 satisfied clients, for an authentic hands-on pasta making experience at La Fortezza Nuova, one of Livorno's most iconic and historic landmarks, in the heart of the Venezia Nuova district.

In this 2-hour class, learn to make traditional pappardelle entirely by hand, no machines, just the old-fashioned way, exactly as Italian grandmothers have done for generations.
Enjoy a tasting of your homemade pasta, along with 2 glasses of Prosecco, 2 glasses of wine and a limoncello. The pasta is served with a classic tomato and basil sauce, prepared fresh from the local market every morning.

Perfect for everyone, families with young children are very welcome. Kids will love using fun dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters to create their own pasta.
The class now takes place inside La Fortezza Nuova, a stunning 16th-century Renaissance fortress right in the heart of Livorno's most picturesque neighborhood. You will enjoy the experience within the historic walls of the fortress itself, the most authentic and atmospheric setting. All dietary requirements are considered upon request.

About the host Sarah:
I have been passionate about fresh pasta for over 5 years. For me, making pasta by hand is much more than a cooking skill, it's a form of meditation.
When your hands touch the dough, something shifts. You forget your worries. You become fully present, focused only on the flour, the eggs, the rhythm of kneading. There is something deeply healing in that connection between your hands and the simplest ingredients.
I believe that pasta carries memory, it has been passed down from generation to generation, from grandmother to grandchild, from one table to another. When I teach, I don't just share a recipe. I share a tradition, a feeling, a moment of pure presence.

With over 5,000 satisfied guests and not a single bad review, I pour my heart into every class. I want you to leave not just knowing how to make pasta, but feeling something you didn't expect.

The classes are now happening at La Fortezza Nuova, Scali della Fortezza Nuova, 57123 Livorno LI.
