This experience takes place at Casa di Alessio, a real Milan home, not a studio or a cooking school. You’re invited into a lived-in apartment where I host small groups (max 6 guests) for a relaxed, personal evening focused on sharing food, conversation, and time together.
There’s no formal teaching style or performance, it's just a genuine Italian home cooking experience. You can actively cook handmade ravioli and tiramisù from scratch, or simply enjoy watching, tasting, and being part of the moment.
The atmosphere is intentionally slow and social, more like being welcomed as a guest at a dinner table than attending a class. Everything happens in Cimiano, a quiet residential neighbourhood away from tourist areas, offering a more authentic side of Milan most visitors never see.
It’s not about learning techniques — it’s about living an evening the Italian way: around a table, with good food, wine, and conversation.

What to expect
I’m Alessio, and a few evenings a week I host small groups (max 6 guests) in my apartment, Casa di Alessio, for a shared cooking and dining experience. This is not a class, just a genuine evening in a local home, with no pressure and no performance.
We start with a welcome prosecco, then prepare tiramisù so it can rest properly. Next, we make fresh handmade ravioli with ricotta and spinach, served with butter and sage. You can cook, watch, or simply enjoy the moment and the drinks.
Around 8:30 PM, we sit down and eat together with wine (also soft drinks are available), followed by tiramisù and coffee. The menu is fully vegetarian, with lactose-free options available on request.
The experience lasts about 3 hours (6–9 PM, though good company has a way of stretching things), and takes place in a real, lived-in home with two friendly cats. Cimiano is a quiet residential neighbourhood, and Casa di Alessio is just 7 minutes from the metro and 20 from the city center.
