Cooking Class: Tagliatelle Al Pesto

Learn how to make pasta from a master Italian chef in New York City.



2 hours Location Manhattan Class size 16 to 25 guests   $69 - $89 ($69 for Public class; $89 for Private class)

Learn the secrets to making authentic homemade pasta. Here you will learn the history and traditions of regional Italian cuisine.
The starting point for this class is Liguria, the region of the city of Genoa. This city created one of the most famous cold sauces in the world, pesto alla Genovese (basil pesto). Forget about the food processor! Your instructor will teach only the most authentic techniques during class, and for pesto that includes a mortar and pestle. This is the ultimate handmade pasta making experience.
From Genoa we will move to the Italian region Emilia Romagna where we will learn to make fresh egg Tagliatelle pasta completely from scratch. The method for preparing your pasta dish will come from Veneto, the homeland of bellini and tiramisu. Once you have completed your culinary journey and taken the steps to cook and plate your dish, we will sit down to enjoy the best plate of pasta Italy can offer without stepping on a plane.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

  • 5/5 from Heather McCarty, attended Nov 2025: the teacher was amazing, so funny and knowledgeable. She also seemed accomodating, as there were allergies she was made aware of. she made everything look easy when initially showing us the steps, but when it came time to actually prepping, she helped us out when needed. I loved the process and overall experience. This class was fun and I hope I can make this pesto recipe at home sometime! it was easy to apply my giftcard to this order as well.
  • 5/5 from Sitara Cherian, attended Oct 2025: She was amazing. She helped explain everything so well and it was easy to follow her instructions. I loved how we got to combine all of our pasta and share. It was so good.
  • 5/5 from Susan Winter, attended Mar 2025: We had a group of seven in attendance and loved our class! Our instructure (Lupa sp?) was informative, knowledgeable, fun and had a great teaching style. We would take classes with her again in the future if more were to become available. We said we'd each trying making the tatgliatelle w pesto at home. I'd recommend this class to anyone that's interested in learning to make homemade pasta. It was real crowd pleaser.
  • 5/5 from Anthony Alexandrov, attended Mar 2025: Best class ever
  • 5/5 from Bryce Okeiffe, attended Mar 2025: The class was super fun and informative. Instructors also were very supportive and helpful with my elderly mother. Only downside was the location had a few outside guests who were a bit loud and made it hard to hear at times. Nonetheless can't wait to book my next experience!
  • 5/5 from Anthony Santino, attended Dec 2024: Really fun time! Easy to do and happy we got to learn a useful skill
  • 5/5 from Arun Nandlall, attended Dec 2024: Great experience and definitely would go again learned a lot as well
  • 4/5 from Imron Hatim, attended Nov 2024: I really liked collaborating with the students to better enhance my learning experience. The venue was a really good atmosphere.
  • 5/5 from Joanna Joseph, attended Oct 2024: I liked everything about the experience. It was my sister's day. My sisters and I try to do something together every few months and thus was a great way to end the year on learning experience and activities. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Ellen Spindler, attended Jun 2024: Fun comprehensive experience. I learned new tips on cooking pasta. Still waiting for recipe though.
  • 5/5 from Emma Gordon, attended Jan 2024: Excellent setup considering the facility and our teacher kept up a good and entertaining patter about technique and the reasons behind it all at a pace people could follow. The equipment was not exotic but was a step up from what a basic kitchen might have so it might be helpful to suggest how to approximate the results without, for instance, a pasta press (if it can be!). Results were fabulous. Might suggest people bring a takeout container as the portions were very generous. A simple handout with the basic recipes (with suggestions for brands of flour perhaps) would be nice though I was told we could get them from the website. A good and good tasting lesson!
  • 5/5 from Megan Myers, attended Oct 2023: We had a great time! The instructor was very knowledgeable and the course was great for beginners! The pasta turned out amazing :)
  • 5/5 from Megan Carrillo, attended Oct 2023: This was an excellent class to bond with friends and co-workers. The teacher was exceptional at explaining the process to beginners while also keeping the class very much entertaining. The location was easily accessible, a large space, and very clean. We learned how to use specific equipment for making pasta but also learned how to replicate the same result at home without those specific items. We are now armed with a recipe we can build from to make our own homemade pasta and pesto sauce. Our end result was delicious. Overall, my group had an amazing time. I felt the price was fair for the knowledge and experience we gained. I would recommend everyone take this class.
  • 5/5 from Angie, attended Oct 2023: This was a team building event that everyone enjoyed. It was great to work as a team and was a great way to start off a week of company meetings. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to have an enjoyable evening with co-workers.
  • 4/5 from Sarah Benatar, attended Jun 2023: hi, hope you are well. The class was great, very fun, great teacher, great food, great vibe.
  • 5/5 from Arina Clavel, attended May 2023: The instructor was terrific. Sweat, patient, attentive. Even though we had an incident with one of the class participants, the instructor stayed calm, which helped the whole class not to start panicking. We were told interesting facts about the origin of the ingredients and the dish itself. We were also told useful tips for preparing the dish.
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Vlakic, attended Apr 2023: The chef was so knowledgeable and informative but in a fun way! The ingredients were fresh and made for a delicious meal. Made for a fun delicious night!

  • 5/5 from Anthony Donis, attended Mar 2023: Wonderful experience I’ll definitely do it again. Thanks for a great time and it was a pleasure.
  • 4/5 from Crystal Tran, attended Mar 2023: it was really fun! the instructor was nice and helpful but was more the type to give instruction and leave, which some people may like but i personally would’ve enjoyed more interaction. there also wasn’t a lot of counter space per party so it made working a little tough, but all materials were included, instructions were simple enough, and the end product was delicious!
  • 5/5 from Jack Levin, attended Feb 2023: Really fun experience! Chef and his partner were super friendly and informative. Would definitely go again.
  • 5/5 from Destiny Rogers, attended Dec 2022: Loved this class and instructor! He was super informative while also being entertaining. Instructions were easy to follow, with a good amount of support. I think there was a great balance of cooking, learning, and time to rest and enjoy.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Restani, attended Dec 2022: The class was so much fun! We scheduled the class for our Holiday party. About 20 people attended and we all had a great time! Chef and his wife were amazing! He kept everyone engaged and really made the class a great experience! Highly recommend this for anyone looking to have a team bonding activity.
