The verdict
The Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine class is our pick. In three hours you make gnocchi, ravioli and tiramisu with a chef, then eat them with a tasting of local wines. On Viator, 1,484 of its 1,497 ratings are five stars, and none is below three. Every dish has a vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free option, and the venue is listed as wheelchair accessible.
The Pasta and Tiramisu class with unlimited wine costs less. You make tagliatelle and ravioli with seasonal sauces and a tiramisu, then eat with unlimited wine, and you leave with a digital recipe booklet. It is held on the first floor of the Mercato Centrale, next to Milano Centrale station, which suits travelers arriving by train. Classes can be large: one reviewer counted about 19 people. It is not wheelchair accessible.
Both last about three hours and offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
The two classes sit at opposite ends of the city center. Chef in Milan is on Via Cerano, a short walk from Porta Genova and the Navigli canals, so it pairs well with an evening there. The Mercato Centrale class is next to Milano Centrale station. For eating out afterward, compare our Milan food tour options.
