Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Italy: Make Fresh Ravioli

You knead, roll and seal the pasta yourself: no watching from the side.

A fully hands-on pasta and tiramisu cooking class in Italy where you make fresh ravioli, pappardelle and tiramisu from scratch under step-by-step guidance from a professional local chef. The class runs 2.5 hours, includes all ingredients and equipment, unlimited regional wine during the meal, and a digital recipe booklet so you can repeat everything at home. Choose between a small group or private class.

The experience

You arrive and work through fresh pasta dough from the beginning: kneading, resting, rolling to the right thickness, cutting cleanly. The chef walks you through proper technique for each step, so the methods stick and you can repeat them in your own kitchen with basic equipment. You'll shape ravioli, seal them by hand, and learn the timing for cooking them right. Then you move to tiramisu, building the mascarpone cream to the correct stability and balancing the espresso flavor so it doesn't overpower. No experience is required. The guidance is clear enough that anyone picks it up.

Once everything is made, you sit down to taste what you've prepared: pappardelle al pomodoro with San Marzano tomato and basil, ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta in butter and sage sauce, and the tiramisu you built. Unlimited regional wine comes with the meal, along with water and soft drinks if you prefer. Between courses, the chef shares stories about Florentine food culture and what it takes to run a kitchen in Italy, so you're learning not just technique but the context behind these dishes.

Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. Let the operator know your dietary needs when you book so they can prepare. The class is fully hands-on with an expert local chef leading it, and you'll leave with a digital recipe booklet to recreate everything at home. A small group keeps the class intimate. A private class is an option if you want the chef's attention entirely to yourself or your group.
