La Cucina FAQsUsual things our customers like to know about us and our services.
What’s the maximum group size for team-building events?
We can host up to 50 guests, with 25–45 being the ideal group size. Do you host private events like wedding rehearsal dinners?
Yes, you can book our space exclusively for your group. We offer private cooking classes or custom dinners for rehearsal dinners and other special occasions. Why is cooking together better than just going out to eat?
Cooking together builds teamwork, confidence, and connection. You learn and share the experience instead of just dining. What’s the difference between Northern and Southern Italian cooking?
Northern Italy features richer dishes with butter, cream, and meats. Southern Italy focuses on simple, fresh ingredients like olive oil, tomatoes, and pasta without eggs. |
What’s included in a La Cucina cooking class?
You’ll enjoy cheese and charcuterie on arrival, a hands-on cooking session, a meal you prepared, recipes to take home, and an unforgettable experience. How long do cooking classes last?
Most classes run about 3 hours, giving you time to cook, learn, and enjoy your meal. Do I need cooking experience to join a class?
No—our classes are designed for all skill levels. Our instructors guide you step by step. Can I bring my own wine or drinks?
Yes, you can bring wine or beer. We provide sparkling water and iced tea. How far in advance should I book a date night class?
We recommend booking 3–4 weeks ahead since classes fill quickly. Do you offer vegetarian or gluten-free cooking classes?
We offer vegetarian options and can accommodate gluten-free requests, though we don’t run dedicated gluten-free classes. Can I recreate the dishes at home?
Yes. We provide recipes and tips during class so you can cook authentic Italian meals with ease at home. |
La Cucina's StoryWhere Food, Passion, and People Come Together!
Founded out of a love for Italian cuisine and a desire to share the magic of homemade meals, La Cucina began with a simple vision: to create a space where people could learn, laugh, and eat well—together. Inspired by the energy of Italy's local markets and the comfort of nonna’s kitchen, we bring traditional techniques and timeless recipes into every class. |

"Did not think I would enjoy this as much as I did. I’m open to try new things at least once, and this was a unique experience with our business group to go do. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and the atmosphere was light and fun. Staff does a top notch job keeping everyone engaged..."

"I booked the handmade pasta class as a birthday gift for my husband, we both loved the whole experience. This was something different, cool and fun. Our favorite pasta was the farfalle in pesto sauce. Will definitely do it again and 100% recommended."
