Fun Pasta Making Class at an Upscale Craft Beer Bar

Experience the beauty of rustic Italian cooking in this intimate pasta class with Chef Alessandra at an upscale craft beer bar. You’ll learn how to make pici pasta entirely by hand, using only flour, water and olive oil — no machines, just your hands and a relaxed rhythm. Chef Alessandra will guide you through rolling the dough into thick, uneven strands that give pici its signature texture. Then, prepare a fresh pesto for a rich yet vibrant sauce. This class is all about slowing down, connecting with the process and enjoying a dish that feels both grounding and indulgent. You’ll leave with new skills and a pasta recipe you’ll want to make again and again.

Q&A

Q: Can I bring a friend who’s a total beginner at cooking? Will they be able to keep up?

A: Absolutely! Chef Alessandra is super patient and great at guiding people of all skill levels. The class is really hands-on and designed to be fun, so even if your friend has never cooked before, they'll fit right in. Just remind them to relax and enjoy the process!

Q: What’s the parking situation like at the craft beer bar? Is it easy to find a spot?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky since it's in a busy area of Philadelphia. There's street parking available, but it fills up fast, especially on weekends. I'd suggest arriving early or using a nearby parking garage if you want to avoid the hassle.

Q: What if the weather isn’t great on the day of the class? Do they cancel?

A: They typically hold the class rain or shine since it’s indoors at the brewery. If there are severe weather warnings, they might reschedule, but you’ll be notified ahead of time. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast just in case!

Just did the pasta class and it was amazing!

I went to the Fun Pasta Making Class at the craft beer bar last weekend, and wow! Chef Alessandra is super engaging and made the whole experience fun. We made pici pasta by hand and the fresh pesto was to die for! The bar had a great selection of beers to pair too. If you’re thinking about gifting this, do it! Seriously, it’s a perfect date night idea.

Gifted the pasta class to my dad’s girlfriend, and she loved it!

I bought the Fun Pasta Making Class as a birthday gift for my dad’s girlfriend. She always talks about wanting to learn how to cook and this was perfect for her! She came home raving about how hands-on it was and how great Chef Alessandra was. Totally worth it for the price!
