The Experience

The tour starts in the old town and moves through the narrow streets and alleyways that connect Piazza del Ferrarese to the Swabian Castle, passing the Cathedral and the Basilica of Saint Nicholas along the way. Your guide points out the Roman walls beneath the Cathedral, called the Succorpo, and explains how the squares and streets took their shape over centuries. Piazza del Ferrarese itself sits on a stretch of the ancient Via Appia–Traiana, built by Romans in the early second century.

After the walking portion, you move into a typical house in the old town where a local woman teaches you to make pasta by hand. She shows you the technique and you work through it yourself, learning the shapes and the feel of the dough. Once you've made it, you sit down together to eat what you've prepared, served with a glass of red wine in a family atmosphere. The whole experience runs 2 hours from start to finish.

The tour may be conducted in a bilingual format depending on who else books that day. A minimum of 2 people is required for the experience to run, and children must be accompanied by an adult. The activity can be rescheduled if the minimum is not met or if weather makes it unsafe.

Is this one for you?You do the cooking yourself, not watch a demonstration, so book this if you want to leave with a skill and a meal you made with your own hands. The shared group format keeps the cost down and the house setting small and intimate, which is what makes the family atmosphere work.
