Rome Pasta or Pizza Cooking Class with Gelato & Wine

You knead the dough, shape the pasta, and decide what goes on top.

A hands-on cooking class in Rome where you choose between making fresh pasta from scratch or Roman-style pizza with a professional chef. You prepare seasonal sauces or classic toppings, taste gelato with chef guidance, then sit down to eat what you made with unlimited wine for adults and soft drinks for children. The class runs three hours and includes fresh ingredients, apron, utensils, digital recipes and a graduation certificate.

The experience

You arrive at the cooking studio in central Rome and put on an apron. The class splits into two paths: pasta or pizza. If you choose pasta, you'll knead and roll dough by hand, shape traditional pasta forms and prepare seasonal Italian sauces under the chef's direction. If you choose pizza, you'll work with a pizzaiolo to mix Roman-style dough, top it with classic ingredients and bake it yourself. Either way, the chef demonstrates gelato or sorbet tasting after your cooking finishes, so you understand how Italian gelato differs from what you know.

Once your dish is ready, you sit down with the group and eat it. Unlimited wine flows for adults. Children get soft drinks. The meal is what you made during the class, not a separate menu. Before you leave, you receive a graduation certificate and a digital recipe booklet so you can recreate the dish at home.

The class welcomes vegetarian guests with advance notice, and the studio takes dietary restrictions and food allergies seriously. Just tell them before you book. Children under 18 must come with at least one adult. The class runs rain or shine, and public transportation stops nearby if you're traveling without a car.
