AUTHENTIC EVERYDAY ITALIAN COOKING
We love our friends of Italian ancestry, we love pasta with red sauce, we love wine from the bucolic Italian countryside, we love peppery extra-virgin olive oil, nutty Parmigiano Reggiano and savory Prosciutto di Parma, and we always want to learn and experience more. We've been on a quest to find authentic experiences of Italian culture, cuisine and the traditional preparations of generational classic dishes, recipes and ingredients. All of our searching has led us to a collaboration with Esperienza, Italian experts who introduced us to a wellspring of authenticity and the source of Italian culinary culture and learning — Casa Artusi in Forlimpopoli, Italy.
A BOUNTY OF TRADITION
Casa Artusi was the first center of gastronomic culture devoted to Italian home cooking. It remains the heart of Italian cuisine today and served as a key partner in the 2025 UNESCO Recognition of Italian cuisine. From classes to history to libraries of research and recipes, Casa Artusi has it all … including a cadre of “Nonnas” present and ready to share their knowledge, their experience and their twinkling approach to generations of making amazing food, building community, and feeding family and friends.
Casa Artusi Residency
We have invited both a chef and a culinary expert from Casa Artusi to travel to our cooking school to share their knowledge of Italian food and culture with you! See Casa Artusi Residency classes and register for classes taught exclusively by our friends from Casa Artusi in Forlimpopoli, Italy.
Cooking with Casa Artusi Classes
Our team has trained with the chefs at Casa Artusi, and we are also offering ongoing classes to share what we learned about authentic Italian cuisine and culture with you. Our special “Cooking with Casa Artusi” classes offer a rich Italian cooking experience in Minnesota so you can bring a bit of Italy to your table.
