WELCOME

Our Italian Table is located in the beautiful Nicita Estate in the heart of the Hunter Valley.  Nestled amongst the vines, with views in all directions, you will experience a moment of true serenity as you surrender yourself to the aromas of the kitchen.

Following a dream to provide an environment where guests can fill their glass, enjoy chatter and laughter with friends, learn something new and then gather around the table for a shared meal, Our Italian Table was created.

Jen Nicita has been involved in the food and training industries for over thirty years.  She invites you to join her in the kitchen and then at her table, enjoying the feasts of local, fresh and seasonal produce, whilst enjoying the breathtaking scenery surrounding you.

 

 

Pasta Classes

In 2026 we’re offering a range of exciting classes.  Our much-loved Pasta Class remains at the heart of the school, now refreshed with new recipes and pasta shapes.  Our shorter Masterclasses focus on one signature dish per class – pasta, gnocchi or arancini, offering flexibility for our guests.  For a full-day experience, the Deluxe Class is the perfect choice.

New for 2026, our Regional Series offers a seasonal deep dive into one Italian region, exploring its traditional recipes, culture and fascinating stories.  Each season brings a new region to discover.  We look forward to welcoming you to the cooking school for an amazing experience.
