Learn How to Cook Italian-Style

Online and in-person cooking classes with authentic Italian home cooks

“I’m Italian, I don’t measure things,
I just wait for my ancestors to whisper,
‘that’s enough, child.’”

Authentic Italian cooking can be intimidating! Our personal (and imperfect) approach to cooking will help you enjoy learning new things and involving your family in the kitchen.

Let us hold your hand and teach you how to make delicious sauce, pasta, bread, and more.

Step Into the Kitchen with Us!

Our cooking classes are all about giving you the confidence that you too can cook Italian-style! We’ll teach you how to cook authentic Italian dishes, but more importantly, we’ll inspire you to establish connections and create memories with the people you love.

We’re not fancy or pretentious. We’re home cooks who have a passion for culture, food, and sharing a little piece of our story with you – so you can create memories and traditions with your own family. 

Whether virtual or in-person, we promise you’ll have a great time with delicious food. You won’t be disappointed!

About Solae'

Growing up in a Sicilian home with nine siblings meant things were always a little messy and loud. But there are no fonder memories than when we would all gather around the table to enjoy my Mamma’s authentic Italian cooking. The only quiet times in our house were when everyone was too busy eating to talk! 

It’s an honor to bring my memories, culture, and traditions into the kitchen to teach you how to recreate some of our family favorites alongside my Mamma, Silvana. 

About Silvana

As an Italian immigrant, Silvana has a true passion and talent for cooking and creating authentic dishes. She has no need for measuring cups or lists of ingredients. She has a way with food (she can literally take a bite of something and know exactly what ingredients are in there)!

Silvana loves to share her culture and food with everyone around her and has taught local cooking classes in her community for over 20 years.

From handmade pasta to Italian bread, you’ll have a blast and make new memories while you learn how to cook Italian staples with us. 

Some classes we will teach together and some will be taught by one of us individually. Let’s get into the kitchen and get this party started!

What People Are Saying About Our Classes

“This class made me feel confident in making my own pasta. I have always been hesitant to make my own, but after learning how easy it is I have made it multiple times since! I loved that they made the pasta in front of us, and answered our questions as we went along. I would love to see a hands-on class in the future!”

“I attended Mamma Mangia’s class at pinners conference. It was amazing! They did such a great job of explain what ingredients to use, showed how to make the dough to make homemade noodles. I was able to get a kit from them. That following Sunday my girls, ages 4 and 6, helped me make the pasta! They had so much fun doing it and because they got to help they were a lot more willing to eat it (they are picky eaters). This is our most requested meal from my girls now!”
