Eat like a local

About this tour

Learn to cook three Italian dishes in a family's home kitchen over four hours, working alongside locals who share their everyday recipes and techniques. You'll prepare lunch and dinner from scratch, gaining insight into how Italian families actually eat at home rather than what restaurants serve tourists. All skill levels welcome.

Highlights

• Prepare lunch and dinner in a private family kitchen
• Learn traditional techniques from home cooks, not chefs
• Taste what you've made straightaway
• All cooking equipment provided
• Fully wheelchair accessible
• Dietary requirements accommodated with notice

What to expect

You'll arrive at a family home and work in their kitchen for the session. The host walks you through each dish step-by-step—mixing, kneading, simmering—explaining why things matter rather than just how. Expect flour on your hands and real conversation. You'll eat what you've cooked together, seated at the family table. No performance, no chef's whites, just the rhythm of a weeknight meal being made.

Good to know

Let your host know about allergies or dietary restrictions before arriving. The kitchen is fully accessible for wheelchair users. Infants can be accommodated. Public transport nearby if you're not driving.
