The gesture of the rolling pin that unites generations: learn the art of handmade dough, listen to the stories of the Trattoria, and rediscover the flavors of the traditional table. Davide awaits you to reveal the secrets of handmade dough, an ancient knowledge that the Caprini family has preserved and passed down for generations!
Fresh pasta is not just a recipe, but an ancient rhythm and the memory of the Sunday table. Get ready to get your hands dirty and pick up the rolling pin: together with Davide, you will learn the secrets of the dough, the technique to roll it out "like in the old days," and the art of shaping it into the three great classics of the Venetian tradition, discovering the history and meaning hidden behind each shape: Tagliolini, Tagliatelle, Pappardelle.
No experience required: just bring curiosity, a desire to rediscover your roots around a table, and a good appetite!
