Fall Classes

Fall classes just announced!

Exciting news: we are changing the venue for our fall classes. This October and November, we will hold classes at the spacious culinary store, Kitchen Outfitters, in Naples. No, unfortunately, not Naples, Italy, but a close second - Naples in Long Beach.

We have two exciting menus planned that you can check out on Kitchen Outfitters' site here. The first will be a dinner on October 25 and the second a lunch on November 1.

As always, we will teach you authentic and delicious Italian dishes, but we will also teach you some basic Italian language as we go along. Then, while eating all the good cooking, you can practice your new words with your classmates. Don't worry if you know not a word of Italian, or for that matter, are not adept at cooking. We will make your experience comfortable and fun!

You can always contact us directly for further information or if you have any questions: cookitalian AT gmail DOT com.

We hope to see you this fall! Oh, and just for fun, here are a few pictures from our summer classes:
