Handmade pasta with grandma

Cook with the best Italian chefs ever: obviously our grandmas, the Nonnas from Palombara! The grannies of our small village will show you how to prepare the perfect handmade pasta—no machines, just your hands, the freshest local ingredients, and love. All of these women started to make pasta in their childhood, keeping alive a tradition that is slowly disappearing. And they are ready to pass it to you! You’ll be part of our crazy big family for a day and join us as we walk the tiny medieval streets of Palombara Sabina to Grandma’s kitchen, located in the old winepress where our great-grandpas used to make wine that the community tapped straight from the barrel (or in Grandma's home... according to the weather). It's a special place for our family and the entire village. We will cook Ravioli, Fettuccine and Farfalle... you will be in a food coma at the end of the experience! Nonna Angela, Nonna Lalla, Nonna Renzia, Nonna Gio, Nonna Marisa are waiting for you!!! Mangia mangia!!! In loving memory of Nonna Nerina. For all the times you fed us, for your love, for all the hugs you gave to thousands of travelers from all over the world. This is your legacy. We love you, forever.
