Naples Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class: Make & Eat

Connect with Naples’ food culture through stories, sauces, and shared flavors.

A 3-hour cooking class in Naples where you learn to make fresh fettuccine and ravioli, prepare tiramisu from scratch, and cook two classic sauces under the guidance of a local chef. You taste everything you've made, paired with a drink, and leave with a personalized diploma and the recipes. The class runs in English, Spanish, Italian or French, and welcomes solo travelers, couples, families and groups.

The experience

The class starts with tiramisu. You'll layer coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a rich mascarpone mixture to understand how the dessert comes together. Then you move to fresh pasta, rolling and shaping traditional fettuccine and ravioli by hand using the techniques Neapolitan families have passed down for generations. Your local chef shares stories about Naples' food culture, seasonal ingredients, and why handmade pasta matters in Southern Italian family life as you work.

Once the pasta is ready, you'll prepare two sauces: a creamy Alfredo and a San Marzano tomato sauce with fresh basil. The chef walks you through each step, and you're working with quality local ingredients the whole time. After three hours of hands-on cooking, you sit down together with the other travelers in the class and eat the dishes you've just made (your fettuccine, your ravioli, your tiramisu), accompanied by a paired drink. It's the part that makes the work real.

You'll receive a chef's hat and apron to wear during the class, a personalized diploma when it's done, and printed recipes so you can recreate the dishes at home. The class welcomes families with children, solo travelers, and groups of friends. Anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Is this one for you?You're in a shared class with other travelers, led by a local chef who guides you through each step. This works best if you want hands-on instruction and don't mind cooking alongside strangers who share a love of Italian food. If you prefer to watch rather than cook, or need a private group, look for a different format.
