What To Expect
Step into a true Torinese experience in a charming attic apartment inside a historic casa di ringhiera (a traditional Italian building with open balconies), just 5 minutes from Porta Nuova station and a short walk from the city center.
You'll be welcomed with a local aperitivo featuring Toma cheese, breadsticks, and seasonal bites — a warm introduction to the flavors of Piedmont.
Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves: you’ll learn how to make fresh gnocchi from scratch, starting from the basics — just eggs and flour. Step by step, you'll discover how to develop the texture, shape, and balance that make homemade pasta truly special. The techniques you learn are simple, authentic, and easy to replicate at home, so you can bring a little bit of Turin into your own kitchen.

Then, prepare a traditional dessert
Enjoy your meal accompanied by local wine, and to finish: an Italian espresso served with a gianduiotto, Turin’s signature chocolate.
