Pasta Making Class in Rome: Learn to Cook Authentic Italian Pasta

Make two fresh pastas and eat them the same afternoon

A 3-hour pasta-making class in Rome's Trastevere neighborhood where you learn to roll fettuccine and ravioli from scratch with a local chef, then dine on what you've cooked with wine and homemade gelato. The class includes prosecco and aperitivo at the start, all ingredients, and a private kitchen reserved for your small group. You can also choose a pizza-making option instead at checkout.

The experience

The class starts in a charming cooking school in the heart of Trastevere with prosecco, cured meats, cheese and bruschetta while you meet your chef and the other cooks in your group. Your Italian chef walks you through making fettuccine and ravioli by hand, sharing techniques passed down through generations of Italian families. You work with two traditional sauces (one red, one white) made with seasonal ingredients the chef has handpicked. The kitchen has modern appliances and is reserved just for your small group, so there's room to move and ask questions as you work.

While your pasta dries, the chef prepares a gelato-making demonstration so you can watch how Italy's most beloved dessert comes together. Then you sit down to eat the pasta you've made, paired with wine, and finish with the homemade gelato. At the end of the three hours, you can stay in the space with the people you've cooked alongside or step out into the narrow streets of Trastevere. If you prefer pizza, you can select that option at checkout instead. You'll make your own pizza from scratch with unlimited wine and beer, plus a Nutella-topped dessert.

The class is taught in English and the school is accessible by public transportation. Dietary needs can be accommodated if you contact the operator before you arrive. Those with celiac disease are the exception.
