Organized by

Il Laboratorio - The Cooking Lab by Melina's Fresh Pasta - opened in 2024. Due to high demand for Melina's Fresh Pasta owner, Carmella's, pasta making classes Il Laboratorio was created to offer a dedicated space centered on Pasta Making Classes and regional Italian cooking. While making pasta will still be Carmella's primary focus at Melina's - this new space will allow for more frequent classes to be scheduled. Classes will focus on pasta and sauces from all 20 regions of Italy plus some Italian-American classics. Come learn how to make pasta like a little Italian nonna.
