Pasta and Tiramisu Class Rome: Make three dishes by hand

Roll pasta by hand, then eat what you made in a real Roman restaurant

You prepare fresh fettuccine, ricotta ravioli, and tiramisu from scratch under a professional chef's guidance, choose your pasta sauce from three Roman classics, then sit down to eat everything you made with wine and coffee. The class runs in a real restaurant near Piazza Navona, and you take home a recipe book to recreate it all later.

The experience

Most cooking classes end with a photo and a handout. This one ends with you sitting down to eat the fettuccine and ravioli you just rolled by hand, plated by the restaurant kitchen, with wine in a real dining room steps from Piazza Navona. The contrast hits you halfway through: you're not watching a chef demonstrate technique on a demo table. You're at the counter, flour on your hands, learning how to fold ricotta ravioli the way it's done in Roman kitchens, not the way it photographs well.

The class starts with tiramisu so you're not standing the whole time, then moves to fresh pasta dough. A professional chef walks you through each step (mixing, kneading, rolling, shaping), but doesn't take over when your hand gets tired or your fettuccine looks uneven. You make fettuccine and stuffed ravioli entirely by hand, choosing your sauce from three classic Roman recipes (Tomato & Basil, Cacio e Pepe, or Amatriciana) once the pasta is ready. The kitchen handles the cooking and plating, which is the smart part: you get to relax instead of sweating over a hot pan after two hours of prep work.

Then you sit. There's wine, water, espresso or limoncello, and the tiramisu you made earlier. The whole thing (prep, cooking, eating) happens in one afternoon in a working restaurant in central Rome, not in a separate "class kitchen" that smells like a hotel conference room. You leave with a recipe book so the three dishes (fresh pasta, tiramisu, the sauces) stay reproducible at home, which matters more than it sounds when you're trying to remember exactly how much salt went into the dough.

What’s included

• Your hands-on preparation of fresh fettuccine, ricotta ravioli, and traditional tiramisu under a professional chef's guidance.
• your choice of sauce from three classic Roman recipes.
• the cooked and plated meal you prepared, served with a glass of wine or soft drink, water, and espresso or limoncello.
• and a recipe book to take home so you can recreate all three dishes in your own kitchen.
