Valentine’s Day Date Ideas 2026

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.
