Foodiversità: Cooking Classes and Workshops at Our "Food University"

At Eataly, we believe that the more you know, the more you enjoy. Good eating is all about engagement and education, so we want you to know our food, our chefs, and the producers who inspire us.

Enter: Foodiversità, our "food university.” Open to all ages, it is a place where you are encouraged to play with your food through hands-on cooking classes, kids' activities, tastings, live demonstrations, and private events around a kitchen table with our team of chefs and experts.

HANDS-ON COOKING CLASSES

Looking for dinner and a show? Sign up for one of our hands-on cooking classes. Guided by our chef, learn how to create traditional Italian recipes, from fresh pasta and Neopolitan-style pizza to lesser-known regional specialties. During each class, you'll get to taste the food you prepare and enjoy beverage pairings curated by our experts.

KIDS' COOKING CLASSES

In Italy, kids are introduced to culinary life at a young age. From picking seasonal veggies in the garden to making fresh mozzarella, Italian bambini quickly learn the importance of healthy and wholesome food, a lesson that stays with them for the rest of their lives.

At Eataly, our goal is to inspire this love and understanding of high-quality food in everyone — including the young! Bring the whole family together with our kids' cooking classes, specifically designed for little ones aged 6 to 12. Led by our "professor," these hands-on classes will show your kids how to make simple dishes, showcasing the importance of whole, good ingredients; taste the food; and take home recipes — plus learn some basic Italian vocab.

All classes are held at Foodiversità, located in the northwest corner of the market. Parents and guardians are encouraged to stay and interact during the class. Trust us: when your kid says "grazie" to you after class, you'll thank us.

Advance registration is not needed (unless otherwise specified), and participation is first come, first served.

Find us in the scenic northwest corner of the market, overlooking 1 World Trade Center. All you have to do is pull up a stool, and get ready to taste and learn!
