The Experience

By the time we’d finished our first glass of Prosecco, I was already rolling up my sleeves — literally. The kitchen smelled faintly of flour and something sweet (maybe the Marsala for tiramisù?), and outside the window you could just catch the echo of a Vespa zipping past. Our chef, Martina, greeted us like old friends even though I’m pretty sure she’d never seen any of us before. She had this way of explaining things that made me feel like I wasn’t about to totally embarrass myself with the dough.

Kneading pasta by hand is messier than it looks on TV — my fingers got sticky fast, and I kept glancing at the others to see if I was doing it right. “Don’t worry,” Martina laughed, “it’s all about feeling.” She moved between us, correcting technique but never making it awkward. At one point she told a story about her grandmother’s Sunday lunches in Trastevere, which somehow made the whole thing feel less like a class and more like being let in on a family secret. The fresh pasta came together slowly, then suddenly — there it was: silky sheets ready for cutting.

Making tiramisù was honestly easier than I expected, but maybe that’s because Martina had us taste everything as we went (“more coffee? always more coffee!”). The mascarpone mixture was so creamy I almost ate it straight from the bowl. There was this moment when someone tried to pronounce “savoiardi” correctly and everyone just cracked up — even Martina snorted. Lunch itself felt relaxed, not rushed; we sat around a big wooden table passing plates and pouring wine like we’d known each other longer than an hour or two.

I still think about that first bite of pasta — warm and just chewy enough, with sauce clinging to every piece. It’s strange how food can taste different when you make it yourself, especially somewhere like Rome where every street feels older than your entire country. We left with printed recipes tucked into our bags (mine’s already wrinkled), but honestly what stuck most was that feeling of being welcomed in — floury hands and all.

What’s included

Your day includes a welcome glass of Prosecco with Italian appetizers inside a historic palazzo in Rome, all ingredients for making two types of fresh pasta with authentic Roman sauces plus homemade tiramisù (with plenty of tasting along the way), bottled water and local wines during lunch, as well as printed recipes to take home after sharing your meal together.
