In the culinary heart of Italy’s Abruzzo region, Pescara’s pasta-making classes offer authentic, hands-on cooking experiences. Traditional techniques shine brightest in two standout options: learning from a charming local nonna (grandmother) who’s been perfecting pasta for nearly a century, or joining intimate cooking sessions in family homes where you’ll master both pasta and tiramisu.
We love the grandmother’s class for its genuine, old-world authenticity and rich stories of Abruzzo’s food traditions. The small-group Cesarine home experience gets our thumbs up for its perfect mix of instruction and warm Italian hospitality.
