Pillowy gnocchi, golden arancini and a little flour on your shirt. Welcome to Kitchen by Stefano Marvello.
Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking class celebrating two Italian comfort-food favourites.
With Stefano guiding you step by step, you’ll make soft gnocchi from scratch and learn to shape and fill arancini with a crisp, golden outside and a delicious centre. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical tips, hear a few kitchen stories and have plenty of laughs.
No fancy skills needed. Whether you’re a confident home cook or still finding your feet, we’ll help you get stuck in and leave with techniques you can use in your own kitchen.
Then comes the best bit: pulling up a chair to enjoy what you’ve made, with accompaniments to complete your feast.
Complimentary sparkling water is included. Fancy a wine with your meal? We’ve got you, with wines and soft drinks available to purchase and a little help finding a lovely match.
Good food, full bellies and a beautiful kind of chaos.

Moss Vale, NSW—the heart of the Southern Highlands.

  • 5/5 from Sean Gillen, attended Sep 2026: Spent a wonderful afternoon learning how to make gnocchi and arancini in the highlands with chef Stefano regaling us with his insights. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish and we look forward to coming back for one of the other experiences on offer
  • 5/5 from Jodi Schoffl, attended Jul 2026: Loved our Arancini and gnocchi masterclass with Stefano. It was fun, and the food tasted great. We will definitely take these new skill and tips home to impress. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Andrew Scott, attended Jun 2026: What a fantastic Team Building event. We have a sales team with an age range from 23 to 73 and everyone had a great night with Stef and Jason. It was great to learn some traditional italian cooking techniques. I'm a keen home cook but have never been brave enough to attempt Gnocchi. Stef demystified the whole process and sitting down to eat what we had made as a team was a great reward and fun way to get to know each other better. Thanks Stafeano, we will definitely be back for more.
  • 5/5 from Cait Stuart, attended May 2026: We had a great Sunday gnocchi and arancini class with Stef. Stef was a wonderful teacher and demonstrated the steps clearly, while making the class really enjoyable. We had a lot of fun cooking and made some delicious food! Our successes in the class have made us feel that we could replicate it at home - we haven’t tested this yet but it’s nice to be inspired to try new things. Thanks Stef!
