The Rev. Oreste Pandola
Learning Center
Classes begin anew each fall and spring — Italian language, cooking, and culture, taught right here in the neighborhood.
The Rev. Oreste Pandola Learning Center keeps the language and traditions of the old country alive for a new generation. Each year brings two semesters of classes — beginning and continuing Italian language, along with cooking and cultural offerings — open to neighbors and visitors alike.
Whether you want to order dinner with confidence, connect with family heritage, or simply learn to make a proper sauce, you'll find a welcoming classroom and a table of fellow students.
The Center also hosts community gatherings, and its basement hall is home to the monthly meetings of the Little Italy Neighborhood Association.
