Join us at Dodici Pizzeria on Wednesday, July 1st to learn real-world Italian, sip prosecco, and connect with a community of language lovers in Sacramento!

Led by our Italian Ambassador Alice, you’ll learn the essential phrases, cultural nuances, and correct pronunciations for dining out. Once you've mastered the basics, it's time to put your new skills to the test! You'll have the unique opportunity to order your food entirely in Italian with Dodici’s friendly, Italian-speaking staff.

Whether you’re prepping for an upcoming trip to Rome, wanting to connect with your heritage, just love great food and culture, or just want to try something that pushes you a little outside your comfort zone, this space is for you. All levels, even absolute beginners, are welcome. Just bring an open mind.
