A hands-on ravioli-making night in the heart of Sydney's original Little Italy. Roll the pasta, shape your own ravioli, then sit down and eat what you made — La Dolce Vita, the way it's meant to be.
Spots are strictly limited — ticket sales close 4:30 pm, 10 June.
An Evening of La Dolce Vita
Do you love all things Italy — the food, the wine, the music and the way of life?
What a blast we had at our very first event back in April. So many laughs. Such delicious food. We couldn't wait to bring you the next one — and here it is: our hands-on ravioli-making night.
This isn't a demo where you sit and watch. You'll get your hands in the flour, roll fresh pasta, fill and crimp your own ravioli, and then do the best part of all — sit down together and eat what you made, right in the heart of Sydney's original Little Italy.
Come hungry, come curious, and leave knowing how to make pasta like a Leichhardt nonna.
