Evento

EVÈNTO creates memorable and vibrant culinary experiences with a twist! We’ve created a buzz around our popular pasta and pizza making parties hosted at our location in New York City. Our events are different from any other cooking class, it’s a party where you happen to make pasta (or whatever is on the menu). Since 2019 we’ve hosted hundreds of in person events and sent recipe kits to thousands of homes for our virtual sessions. Our eclectic team of instructors is highly skilled. In their careers they’ve done everything from cooking for the Royal Family to creating cocktails for the Met Gala. FROM CORPORATE TO SOCIAL We focus on private social, public ticketed, and corporate events. We run team-building, holiday parties, and internal and external private dining for many of America’s blue-chip companies. Guests who join our parties in NYC or log in online have given us rave reviews. As we grow we’re excited to extend our community to more cities!
