I recently signed up for Pierluigis Sourdough Bread making class at the Fatto an Mano Bakery in Westport, CT and it was a 5 star experience all the way. I felt it was taught in an organized way so that home bakers could feel educated and empowered to make beautiful artisanal bread at home. We learned all the different stages of making sourdough and we were able to get our hands on some dough and learn the techniques from the master himself. He is a gentleman!! 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Super knowledgable, kind, and talented bakers making the best, high-quality, authentic Italian breads and pastries in the state (maybe even the country?). Great for custom orders, and really organized for pre-orders of their weekly items! Don’t forget to pre-order since they sell out really quickly during holidays. The panettone is amazing—super soft and pillowy—nothing like the kind you get in a grocery store. If you think you don’t like panettone, you just haven’t had a real one! The breads are flavorful and lovely texture. And the pastries/cookies—not one that I wouldn’t recommend. My personal favorite is the cornetto Ischitano. Everything is fantastic though, including the staff!!
My friend and I took a sourdough bread class at Fatto a Mano and it was excellent! Very informative and we got to both watch Pierluigi make the bread and practice ourselves which was a great way to learn. Highly recommend!
