Today, she continues to celebrate Italian tradition with a modern voice — one plate, one story, and one fold of dough at a time.

👩🍳 What you’ll experience
Discover two pillars of Emilian (Northern Italy) pasta in one one of a kind pasta making workshop:
1️⃣ Handmade Tagliolini
Knead, roll, and cut traditional egg pasta using classic Emilian techniques. Learn how to achieve silky, golden strands using the freshest ingredients.
2️⃣ Truffle Ravioli
Move from sheets to fillings as you craft ravioli with a creamy blend of potatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano, and freshly shaved black truffle — sealed to perfection using traditional techniques.
Work with fresh black truffle (Tartufo Nero Fresco d’Emilia), flown directly from Italy. This prized ingredient takes center stage from dough to final plating, filling the room with its unmistakable aroma.
