Depending on the time of your class, you'll be served either cappuccino or sparkling Prosecco while learning the bella lingua and the bella vita of Italy.

We offer year-round group and private lessons, tutoring services, specialty classes for adults and children's programming, such as Teatro Italiano and Make an Italian Show: language through drama classes where children can bring their stories on stage.
