There’s something magical about potato gnocchi done right — light, tender pillows that melt away with each bite. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make traditional Italian potato gnocchi the way it’s been made in homes across Italy for generations.

We’ll start with simple ingredients and you’ll learn how to mix, roll, cut, and shape gnocchi by hand, which you’ll take home for two along with fresh bread and ingredients and recipe cards to create a lovely, simple accompanying sauce.

Why It’s Special

Potato gnocchi is all about feel — knowing when to stop mixing, when the dough is just right, and how gently to handle it. This workshop teaches you those instincts, so you can bring authentic Italian comfort food into your own kitchen anytime.
