The Experience

I didn’t expect to laugh so much while covered in flour, but that’s what happened at this fettuccine and tiramisu masterclass right in the middle of Rome. The kitchen was already warm when we walked in — not just from the ovens, but from our chef, Giulia, who greeted us like we were old friends. There was this faint smell of coffee and something sweet (probably the mascarpone) hanging in the air. We started with tiramisu, whisking eggs so fast my arm ached. Giulia kept saying “più forte!” and I tried, but honestly, my technique could use some work.

Making pasta from scratch is messier than it looks on YouTube. The dough stuck to my fingers at first — maybe I added too much water? — but eventually it came together. There’s something calming about kneading dough while hearing Italian chatter from the street below. We rolled it out and cut it into fettuccine ribbons (mine were all different widths; nobody seemed to care). Giulia showed us how to pick a sauce: Amatriciana if you want a little heat, Pomodoro for comfort, or Cacio e Pepe if you’re feeling bold. I went classic with tomato and basil.

Sitting down together after cooking felt almost like joining someone’s family lunch. My plate looked messy but tasted…well, better than I’d hoped. The wine was crisp and cold, and there was this tiny glass of limoncello at the end that made everyone pull faces and laugh. Someone tried to say “buon appetito” with a heavy accent — even Giulia cracked up. I still think about that creamy tiramisu (and how I got cocoa powder everywhere). If you’re looking for a real day trip cooking class in Rome with locals guiding you every step, this is it.

What’s included

Your day includes hands-on guidance from a local chef as you make fresh fettuccine (with your choice of Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe or tomato basil sauce) and creamy tiramisu from scratch. Enjoy your meal with a glass of wine or soft drink plus water throughout; finish off with either limoncello or hot coffee before heading back out into Rome’s streets.
