Across 16 classes, the median is €89 per person as listed, with starting prices from €57.

Start with the class with Alessia for a family booking: it lists a child rate and accepts strollers and infants. The Fresh Pasta, Ragù, Lasagna and Gelato class has a minimum age.

The kids flag checks strollers and infants, not suitability for every child; confirm age and participation with the operator.
Make your own travel plan for the kitchen: the Traditional Tortellini class charges extra for transfers, and the pickup flag on a cooking class is not a promise of transport in its listed price. The catalogue flags hotel pickup on 1 of 16 classes, but the flagged class excludes private transportation. Traditional Tortellini, Gnocchi and Tagliatelle (4.51 from 75 reviews; €65 per person) also charges separately for a host transfer. Kitchens can be schools, restaurants or homes; use the address supplied for your booking and confirm any transfer with the operator.
