Worldwide · PASTA CLASSES WITH WINE
Unlimited wine is a Florentine marketing habit that spread, and it changes the room: the class runs longer, the table talks more and the pasta comes out looser. These 15 are priced honestly, with a note on which pour a real local bottle and which pour whatever is nearest.
