An intimate, hands-on pasta-making evening created for GAY MEN only, who enjoy delicious food, good conversation, and genuine connection. Meet new gay men, build a new circle of friends, feel more confident in the kitchen, and enjoy meaningful conversations. Stop scrolling on your phone and get ready for real connections, all while cooking and sharing a beautiful meal together. Together, we’ll make fresh agnolotti from scratch, filled with mushrooms and ricotta, and dressed with a fragrant walnut pesto sauce. No previous experience is needed—just curiosity, an appetite, and a willingness to get your hands dusty with flour. This is more than a cooking workshop. It’s a relaxed, private space to socialise, meet new friends, flirt if the chemistry’s there, and share stories while cooking side by side. The evening is designed to help you build both personal and professional connections in a safe, respectful, non-judgemental environment. Cooking together offers a gentle way to explore masculinity through creativity, collaboration, and presence—without pressure or labels. The ticket includes: * All ingredients for the recipe. * Arrival Aperitivo including a variety of antipasti and prosecco wine. * Additional wine during dinner, but you are more than welcome to bring additional drinks of your choice. * Aprons and utensils required for the class. P.S. * The event is also advertised on other platforms, the number of attendees on Meetup doesn't reflect the real number. I would recommend to buy your ticket asap before it gets sold out. * The final details of the event will be sent only to the attendees prior to the event date; * This event is designed for GAY MEN ONLY. * The actual event last for 3 hours however usually we stay a bit longer to socialise (please bring your own drinks if you wish to do so) * There is a minimum of 4 participants per class and I reserve the right to cancel the class due to insufficient attendees or due to unforeseen circumstances. I will arrange a full refund in this case. THIS IS NOT "AN APRONS ONLY EVENT". IT IS A REGULAR CLASS WITH CLOTHES ON. This is to allow also other gay men to attend without the pressure of getting undressed. Looking forward to seeing you there and having lots of fun together. Happy Vibes Luca
