Hands-On Pumpkin Gnocchi Class at Eataly Los Angeles

Fall cooking is mostly about squash, and this class puts it in pasta. Eataly Los Angeles is running a hands-on pumpkin gnocchi session on Saturday, October 17, 2026, where you make the dough, shape the dumplings and finish a seasonal dish with your own hands. If you are hunting for things to do in Los Angeles that end with a plate of food you actually made, this one is built for it.

When: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 4:00 to 6:00 PM Where: Eataly Los Angeles, Century City Price: $119.58 per ticket Tickets: Eventbrite

What the class covers

The listing describes a gnocchi class that uses fall's best harvest to prepare a fall-inspired gnocco. Gnocchi reward a hands-on format. The dough comes together with a light touch, and the difference between a pillowy dumpling and a dense one is easy to feel but hard to explain, so learning it with your hands in a room of cooks is a better lesson than a recipe card. Expect to leave knowing how the dough should feel, how to roll and cut it, and how a seasonal ingredient like pumpkin changes the way you approach a classic.

Eataly's classes are a regular part of its Century City location, and the organizer describes its programming as immersive classes and events covering pasta-making, mozzarella, wine tasting and more. This session sits in the pasta lane, which suits cooks who want a technique they can repeat at home rather than a one-off restaurant dinner.

Who it suits

This works as a date-night plan, a friends' afternoon, or a solo outing for someone who wants to get better at pasta. No professional background is implied by the listing, and the format is aimed at people who want to cook, not watch. If you have never made gnocchi, the fall theme is a gentle way in. If you have, a squash-forward version is a good excuse to try a new flavor profile.
