Welcome Drink & Arrival
Guests arrive at the venue and are welcomed into the class with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Each guest receives a complimentary glass of prosecco, has a moment to settle in, and gets introduced to the space before the cooking experience begins. It is the perfect start to a social Italian cooking class in NYC.
Meet the Chef & Class Introduction
The chef introduces himself, welcomes the group, and explains what the class will cover. Guests get a short introduction to the ingredients, the tools they will use, and the traditional Italian techniques behind the dish. This first part sets the tone for the experience and gives everyone a clear idea of how the class will unfold.
Prepare the Guanciale & Carbonara Base
The chef demonstrates how to cut and slowly render the guanciale to develop the right texture and flavor. Guests learn how the fat is used to build the foundation of authentic Roman carbonara.
Make the Fresh Pasta
Guests prepare fresh pasta dough from scratch and learn how to roll, shape, and cut the pasta properly. The chef guides each step and explains how texture and thickness affect the final dish.
Cook, Finish & Enjoy
The pasta is cooked and finished with guanciale, egg, cheese, and black pepper using the proper carbonara technique. Guests then sit down together and enjoy the dish they prepared.
Goodbye & Arrivederci
The experience ends with a relaxed goodbye, a final moment with the chef, and often a hug or group photo. Guests leave Zafferano & Co. with new cooking skills, great memories, and a real taste of Italy.
Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 6 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
