February is the month of love, and every year the same question comes back: what should we do for Valentine’s Day? Many people end up buying last-minute gifts that don’t really last. Chocolates, flowers, small objects; nice, but gone in a moment.

This Valentine’s Day 2026, why not choose something different? Something meaningful, fun, and shared, like a Pasta Making experience and an Italian dinner.

A unique Valentine’s Day experience for 2026


If there is one thing you should know about us, it’s that food is the heart of everything we do. Food is not just something to eat, it’s something that brings people together, creates memories, and turns simple moments into special occasions.

That’s why this year we invite you to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a pasta making experience and Italian dinner in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Orange County.


Pasta making with authentic Italian chefs


Our company has strong Italian roots and a deep love for Italian culture and traditions. During our Valentine’s Day cooking classes, you will be guided by authentic Italian chefs and learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch. For Valentine’s Day 2026, the class focuses on a symbolic pasta from Southern Italy: Maritati pasta.


What is Maritati pasta?

Maritati means “married” in Italian. This traditional pasta comes from Puglia and is made by combining two different pasta shapes:

  • Orecchiette

  • Maccheroni

In the past, Maritati pasta was often served at weddings, because it represents union, balance, and love.That’s why it’s the perfect pasta for Valentine’s Day.


Why this Valentine’s Day experience is special

During the dinner, the pasta you make will be paired with Italian wine, and Italian beer will be available throughout the evening. Both the wine and the beer are 100% Italian, and this is not a case! You know how much we care about the quality of the products we offer.

This is not just a class, it’s a full Italian Valentine’s Day dinner experience.

In particular, you can find our Pasta Making Experience in: New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County.


Class duration and time slots

Each Valentine’s Day pasta class lasts 2.5 hours and is offered in different locations and in two time slots:

  • Slot 1: 3:30–6:00 PM

  • Slot 2: 7:00–9:30 PM

Perfect whether you prefer an afternoon experience or a romantic evening dinner.


What’s included in the experience

This Valentine’s Day experience also includes:

  • A pasta speed competition

  • A pesto competition (yes, this experience is also vegan-friendly)

  • Dinner with the pasta you made yourself

  • Italian wine pairings and Italian beer

So, to recap: If you’re tired of the usual, boring Valentine’s Day plans, a pasta cooking class with Italian dinner is the perfect choice. Especially when you eat the pasta you created yourself, paired with great Italian wine and beer.

This Valentine’s Day 2026, don’t choose a gift that disappears. Choose an experience you’ll remember.

So, what are you waiting for? See you there? ❤️🍝🍷

I came across this article after seeing it referenced in a discussion about long-term corporate strategy in the iGaming sector. What kept me reading was the detailed, year-by-year breakdown of how the company evolved from its 2016 founding into a major industry player. If you want to understand the mechanics of organizational growth through technology and responsible expansion, thedigitalworkplace.com/articles/soft2bet-marking-nine-years-of-innovation-leadership-and-sustainability/ offers a comprehensive look. It covers real milestones—from early market entry in Scandinavia to the development of their MEGA gamification platform and the launch of a €50m innovation fund. No vague corporate fluff, just a solid case study on adaptability and leadership over nine years. After reading, I had a much clearer perspective on how international brands maintain their edge through…

I was scrolling through a trending Indian lifestyle blog today when I saw a mention of Chicken Road in a post about stress-relief activities. The author highlighted how the game’s simple mechanics are perfect for a short mental break during a hectic workday in a city like Bangalore. I checked it out, and the visual balance is actually very soothing. It’s a great example of how a minimalist design can make a digital experience feel much more approachable and calm for daily users.
