We love doing Cooking Classes here at Solare!

Our Cooking Classes offer a truly hands-on experience allowing each student to create Italian cuisine themselves to make at home.  Our classes are not just a “demonstration”.

The fun typically starts at 10am at Solare with an Italian-style coffee of your choice.  Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”.

  • Oct 31 – Making the best Pasta with Chef Denice
  • Nov 14 – Cooking Seafood Italian-style
  • Nov 21 – Making Pizza from Scratch with Pizza Chef Brian
  • Nov 28 – Gnocchi, Pesto, and Bolognese

The Classes do sell out fast due to the limited size.
