Pasta, Ravioli & Tiramisu Cooking Class Rome: Make & Eat

Roll pasta by hand, layer tiramisu, then eat it all with wine

A small-group cooking class in Rome where you prepare three Italian classics (fettuccine, ricotta-filled ravioli and tiramisu) at your own workstation under the guidance of a professional Italian chef, then sit down to a complete meal featuring everything you made, paired with unlimited local wine. The class runs three hours in an air-conditioned restaurant steps from the Vatican Museums, and includes a recipe booklet to recreate the dishes at home. Children from age 5 are welcome, and vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options are available with advance notice.

The experience

You start with tiramisu, learning to layer mascarpone cream and espresso-soaked ladyfingers, then customize it with your choice of toppings. Next comes fresh pasta: you mix, knead and shape the dough into silky fettuccine and delicate ravioli, working through authentic techniques at your own station while the chef moves between participants. The whole hands-on session runs about two hours, and you're working with real ingredients and real tools, not a demonstration you watch from a stool.

Once the cooking is done, you sit down inside the restaurant or on the terrace to eat what you made. The meal includes homemade chips with Roman cheese, bruschetta, the fresh fettuccine you prepared served with traditional sauces like cacio e pepe and carbonara, your handmade ravioli finished by the chef, and your tiramisu. Unlimited local wine flows throughout for adults. Younger participants get soft drinks and water. The social part matters here. You're eating alongside the chef and the other people in your small group, sharing stories and tips in a warm, unhurried way.

The restaurant is fully air-conditioned, a real advantage during Rome's hot months. You'll leave with a recipe booklet so you can make these dishes again at home. Vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options are all available. Just let the operator know about dietary needs when you book.

Is this one for you?Book this class if you want to actually make pasta and tiramisu with your hands rather than watch a demonstration. You'll have your own workstation and leave with both the skills and a full meal you cooked yourself. The three-hour format and air-conditioned space make it manageable even on a hot Rome day, and children from age 5 can join if an adult is with them.
