Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class in Naples with Local Chef

You make the pasta dough by hand, the way Neapolitan cooks have for generations.

A 3-hour hands-on cooking class in Naples where you prepare fettuccine alfredo, ricotta ravioli with San Marzano sauce, and tiramisu from scratch under the guidance of a local chef. You learn traditional pasta-making techniques, taste everything you've made, and leave with a QR code carrying all the recipes. The class runs in English, Spanish, Italian or French, and includes a chef's hat, apron, soft drink or wine, and a personalized diploma.

The experience

Three hours, three dishes, one local chef. You start by handling the ingredients themselves (fresh ricotta, aged Parmigiano, San Marzano DOP tomatoes), so you know what goes into the food before your hands touch the dough. Then you roll up your sleeves and make pasta by hand, learning the texture and feel that no video can teach. From that single batch of dough come two dishes: fettuccine alfredo with its creamy sauce, and delicate ricotta-filled ravioli paired with a rich tomato sauce you prepare during the class.

The tiramisu comes next: mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, cocoa layered into a personal portion you'll eat before you leave. Throughout, the chef offers tips and stories about Neapolitan food culture, not just instructions. When everything is ready, you sit down in a warm, relaxed atmosphere and taste the meal you built, course by course.

You walk out with a chef's hat, an apron, a personalized diploma, and a QR code holding all three recipes so you can remake what you learned at home. A soft drink or glass of wine is included. Water flows throughout.
