Pasta n' Play

Pasta&Play is not just a cooking class; it is a transporting journey to the heart of a Southern Italian home, right in the middle of London. Founded by Vittoria, Leith's trained cook and a former lawyer who traded corporate life for the flour-dusted rituals of her Nonna’s kitchen. Pasta&Play was born out of a desire to reclaim the soul of food. We believe in focusing on intimate, high-impact gatherings where guests are invited to drop stress and problems at the door and rediscover the joy of creating something by hand. When you enter our "Cooking Club," you are a guest at a curated table. From hand-sewn linens from Vittoria’s hometown to hand-drawn menus and vintage family cups, every detail is designed to evoke the warmth and heritage of a traditional Italian dinner party. We specialize in teaching the art of handmade pasta, sourdough baking, and so much more using zero-waste, heritage techniques, followed by a long-table dinner where the wine flows and strangers become friends. Whether you are looking for a creative escape from the city’s pace or a deep dive into authentic Italian culture, Pasta&Play offers a space to slow down, connect, and play.
