About this experience

Embark on a rare culinary journey celebrating Italy’s most treasured flavor, the truffle. During this exclusive 3-hour experience, step into a professional kitchen where tradition, artistry, and aroma converge to create three remarkable dishes worthy of a Michelin table.
Create Raviolo al Tuorlo, a golden-yolk delicacy, Tagliolini al Burro e Tartufo Bianco, delicate pasta infused with white truffle & butter, and Ricotta Gelato with dark chocolate and hazelnuts for a refined, perfectly balanced finale.
Every moment is designed to awaken your senses: the earthy perfume of shaved truffles in the air, the satisfying harmony of flavor and texture. Premium Italian wines accompany the tasting, elevating each dish to perfection.
Throughout the experience, chefs share techniques and stories that bring Italy’s truffle heritage to life. You’ll leave with refined skills, a booklet of authentic recipes, and a certificate to celebrate your journey into the art of Italian gastronomy.
