Private Events
Cook, connect, and celebrate — the Italian way
There’s something special that happens when people cook together. Conversations flow, laughter builds, and before you know it, you’re sitting down to share something you’ve created together.
At Knolita Cooks, private events are designed to bring people closer — through simple, seasonal Italian food and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a hen party, gathering friends, or marking a special occasion, your experience will be completely tailored to you.

Client Reviews
“We came to Lisa's as a family of 5 - this was a gift for my mum, who wanted to learn how to cook Italian, specifically fish.
From start to finish the evening was an absolute joy! Lisa was warm, welcoming but, most importantly, hugely knowledgeable about Italian cookery.
Not only was the end product delicious, but this was such a special and original way to bring us all together as a family.
I can't recommend Knolita Cooks enough - whether it's a novel way to spend an evening with friends, a corporate get together or a gift idea - this is definitely one to book! Thanks Lisa!.”
