Pasta & Gelato Class in Rome: Make & Taste

You take home recipes that work in your own kitchen.

A hands-on pasta and gelato class in Rome taught by a chef who walks you through making fresh fettuccine, a tomato sauce, and gelato using seasonal ingredients. The class runs 2.5 hours, includes appetizers and wine or beer for adults, and ends with eating the meal you made. Children from age 5 are welcome, and you work at your own station with an apron provided.

The experience

You'll spend 2.5 hours making three things: hand-rolled fettuccine, a tomato sauce inspired by Dolce & Gabbana, and gelato. The chef teaches the time-honored Italian way: simple, seasonal ingredients, techniques that work in a home kitchen. You're not watching a demonstration. You're at your own station with the tools already there, learning by doing. Bruschetta rounds out the menu, and everything you make becomes the meal.

Wine or beer comes with the class for adults, along with soft drinks and water. The lesson is built for all ages and all skill levels, from people who've never cooked to those who have. The chef is friendly and passionate about the work, and the atmosphere is built around cooking together as the way to really understand the food. By the end, you'll have eaten what you prepared and learned recipes solid enough to repeat at home without the chef standing next to you.

The class welcomes children from age 5, and infants can come in a pram or stroller. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it. You can book as a group or as a semi-private class with a maximum of 8 people, so you choose how many others are cooking alongside you.

Is this one for you?Book the semi-private option if you want to cook with fewer people around you and have more one-on-one time with the chef. The group class works better if you're comfortable in a larger kitchen and want to meet more people while you cook.
