Social Cooking in Verona

Social Cooking is an evening where you cook together with a group of people, get to know each other, and then sit down to eat what you’ve all made. We designed it for anyone who wants something different — not just another dinner out, not a serious cooking class. It’s a great option if you live in Verona and want a genuinely fun night, or if you’re visiting and want to experience something real and local. No cooking skills needed — just bring good company energy.

It starts with an aperitivo — wine, cured meats, local cheeses — a relaxed way to break the ice with the other guests. Then the chefs reveal the surprise menu and everyone gets cooking together. The menu changes each time: it might be a Veronese classic, something from the wider Italian tradition, or a creative take from our chefs — but there’s always a starter, a first course, and a dessert. Once everything’s ready, you all sit down and eat together what you’ve just made. The whole evening lasts around 4 hours.

Not at all. The chefs guide you through every step, and everything is done as a team — no one gets left alone at the stove. Social Cooking isn’t a cooking class: it’s a convivial evening where having fun matters more than technique. Whether you can barely boil an egg or you’re already comfortable in the kitchen, you’ll find your place.

Everything! For around €45 per person you get the welcome aperitivo, all ingredients, kitchen equipment, drinks throughout the evening, and the final dinner. No surprises at the end of the night.

We don’t run on a fixed schedule — evenings are organized on a rolling basis, mostly during the winter months. The best way to stay in the loop is to sign up for our newsletter or follow La Soffritta on Instagram (@lasoffritta). When a new date opens up, you can book directly from the calendar on this page, or reach out by phone or message.

You can book from the calendar on this page, or contact us directly by phone or message. If you need to cancel, you can do so free of charge up to 24 hours before the event and you’ll get a full refund. After that, unfortunately we can’t guarantee a refund.

We’d love to have you — just let us know at the time of booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. We’d recommend reaching out before booking so we can figure out together how to make the evening work for you.

La Soffritta is in the historic center of Verona, near Porta Palio — easy to reach by car. You’ll find the exact address on the booking page.
