Rome: Pasta Cooking Class & Tiramisu Dessert with Chef

Summary

Make pasta by hand in Rome then feast on your creations with wine

You’ll knead dough by hand in a Roman kitchen, laugh as you shape fettuccine and ravioli with an Italian chef guiding you, then enjoy your own creations paired with wine or soft drinks. Finish with homemade tiramisu and limoncello or coffee — it’s warm, welcoming, and leaves you smiling long after.

What’s the experience like?

The kitchen was already warm when we walked in — not hot, just that cozy sort of warmth that smells like flour and something buttery. Our chef, Marco, handed us glasses of prosecco right away (which felt fancy but also kind of relaxed me). I’d never made pasta from scratch before, so I was a little nervous. The table was covered in flour dust and eggs, and Marco kept telling us not to worry about making a mess — “That’s how you know it’s real,” he said. I liked that.

We started with the fettuccine dough. Kneading it took more muscle than I expected, honestly — my hands got sticky and there was flour everywhere, even on my shirt (I tried to brush it off but gave up). Marco showed us how to roll the dough thin enough to almost see through. He had this way of explaining things that made it feel less like a class and more like hanging out in someone’s home kitchen. There was a couple from London next to us who kept laughing every time their noodles stuck together. I think we all bonded over our weirdly shaped ravioli.

After we finished shaping everything, Marco took over at the stove while we sat down with a glass of wine (or water if you wanted). Watching him cook our pasta felt oddly satisfying — like seeing your own art framed or something. When the plates came out, the sage butter for the ravioli smelled so good I forgot to take a photo before digging in. And then tiramisu for dessert — creamy, just sweet enough, with cocoa powder that somehow ended up on my nose. They brought out little glasses of limoncello or coffee too. I still think about that last bite sometimes.
