ITALIAN

Lovingly called, the world's food, Italian is a favorite of nearly all. But true Italian cuisine is often different than what you may be serving at home. Food is central to the Italian culture - it's not just considered a means of nourishment, but an extension of life itself. Simple in nature, Italian food focusses on seasons and the very best they have to offer. Italians have given the world so many incredible dishes. Pasta, Risotto, Saltimbocca, Componata, Ossobucco, Ravioli, Tiramisu, and the list goes on and on. Cook with one of our Italian chefs in our authentic Italian cooking classes, and learn the tips and tricks to making these wonderful dishes without leaving home.
