Semolina MKE is an absolute gem for anyone passionate about authentic Italian cuisine. The moment you step inside, you're transported to the heart of Italy, surrounded by high-quality Italian import goods. The selection of wines is impressive, featuring a diverse range of regional varieties that perfectly complement any meal. The highlight for me is their housemade pasta. Petra, the owner, is an ARTIST and makes her pasta perfectly textured, delicious, and it takes home-cooked meals to another level. Additionally, she offers pasta making classes (with wine) so definitely consider that with a group of friends. You'll be learning from the BEST! Petra and Andy are incredibly knowledgeable and can steer you in the right direction. You should not miss out on picking up some sugo or the famous curlurgiones. Trust me. Life changing. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just looking to explore Italian flavors, Semolina is the perfect place to find genuine ingredients that elevate your cooking experience. Highly recommended!

Review is for mostly the pasta class but also the store! I had been eagerly awaiting the classic egg pasta class for a while, and we were not let down. Petra and Andy take such pride in their shop and it shows! We started wandering (and salivating over) their small but impressive selection of sauces, oils, salts, and Italian goodies. They have samples of most of their items, so definitely ask when you're in!The class started with Petra giving a brief overview of the general recipe and then we got our hands dirty almost immediately kneading the dough. The dough got to rest for a bit while we got to sip on some beautiful red wine and Petra taught us how to make a puttanesca sauce. When we went back to knead some more, Andy had magically cleaned the stations and set us up for the next round! On our next rest break, Petra finished assembling the puttanesca with some pasta she made earlier that day and we got a healthy serving of fresh pasta and puttanesca, followed by a sample of some of the most amazing Panettone I have ever had. The care that Petra and Andy put into their work is evident, and their commitment to supporting organic, high quality foods is remarkable. Looking forward to many more classes here!

Wanted to love the fresh pasta but it seemed a little under seasoned (lacking salt). Not sure I would make the trek again. Shop is adorable with lots of unique items.

The pasta making class was awesome! Very interactive, perfect class size. Easy to follow. Very fun and the end result was incredible. I can't recommend the class and the staff highly enough. Everything was perfect!!

I LOVE this place. My wife and I have taken 3 of the pasta making classes together and she's done a fourth with friends. Cool way to get together and learn some stuff. We have several of the specialtiy shop purchases in our cooking inventory, including some Toscane Honey, Rose' Vineger, tomato paste and olive oil. The Canoli kits are awesome for diner parties. For a quick and easy meal, go grab a bag of their in-house made pasta and red sauce.
