Start your weekend with an aperitivo, Italian-style at this delicious and informative tasting event and cooking demo. We’ll travel from city to city exploring the savory nibbles and beverages that Italians enjoy before dinner in places like Milan (Campari, Prosecco), Venice (little bites called ‘cicheti’), Florence (focaccine, lardo, cecina) and Torino. Italy expert Christina Ball will add a cultural context to the cooking demo by chef Marisa Catalano. Robert Harllee will have a selection of wines perfectly paired with the antipasti. You’ll leave happy and with lots of entertaining ideas!

Check out this videos of our last tasting event, also featuring chef Marisa Catalano:

I keep coming back to Speak! for so many reasons: Speak! offers a no-stress, lots-of-laughing way to learn and practice a new language; the teachers will tailor the class and design whole courses based on the needs and wants of the students; I have made so many new friends; and it enhances my life.
