About this Event

What to expect

Chef Maria Elena Calvi will guide you through making cavatelli all’arrabbiata, a hand-rolled pasta from Southern Italy, known for its rustic texture that pairs perfectly with the bold, spicy flavors of arrabbiata sauce 🌶️.

We’ll kick things off with a meat and cheese charcuterie board, along with wine pairings and a beer open bar to enjoy throughout the experience. After cooking, you’ll sit down to savor the meal you’ve created in a relaxed and friendly setting! 🍷🍺


About the dish 🍝

Cavatelli are small, shell-shaped pasta made with semolina flour and water, giving them a slightly chewy texture that holds onto sauce beautifully. Arrabbiata sauce, meaning “angry” in Italian, is a spicy tomato-based sauce made with garlic, chili flakes, and olive oil, bringing a perfect kick of heat to the dish. This simple yet flavorful combination is a staple of Southern Italian cuisine, showcasing bold and comforting flavors.


What to bring

  • Comfortable outfit
  • Comfortable shoes
  • BYOB is encouraged, because why not? 😉


About Chef Maria Elena 🧑‍🍳

Chef Maria Elena hails from the North-East of Italy, near Venice. Growing up, she learned the art of cooking by observing her grandmother, following the tradition of passing down culinary skills through practice rather than written recipes. She moved to the United States in 2020, just before the pandemic, and began her professional training as a chef at Eataly. Chef Maria Elena firmly believes that the secret ingredient to great cooking is love, as the meals prepared for loved ones always turn out to be the best.
