Make pasta from scratch and real tiramisu in central Rome

You’ll roll up your sleeves in a small Roman kitchen just steps from Termini, learning to make fresh pasta and real tiramisu alongside a local chef. Taste as you go, laugh with new friends over prosecco, and bring home recipes (and maybe a little flour on your shirt). It’s warm, hands-on, and surprisingly memorable.

The Experience

I didn’t expect flour to get everywhere — honestly, even in my hair — but that’s what happened about twenty minutes into our Rome cooking class near Termini. Our chef, Marco, grinned when he saw me struggling with the dough (“You knead it like you mean it!”), which made everyone laugh. The kitchen smelled faintly of espresso and something sweet I couldn’t place at first (turns out it was the mascarpone for tiramisu). There were only eight of us, so it felt more like a casual dinner party than a class.

We started with tiramisu. Marco showed us how to dip the ladyfingers just right — not too soggy — and I tried to repeat his quick wrist motion. Mine looked a bit lopsided but tasted better than any dessert I’ve made at home. The best part? Sneaking tastes between steps while Marco told us stories about his grandmother’s recipes. For the pasta part, rolling out the dough was way harder than YouTube makes it look. My hands got sticky and someone (I think her name was Julia?) accidentally flung flour onto her neighbor’s shirt. No one cared; we were all too busy laughing and sipping prosecco.

After we finished shaping the pasta (I made cacio e pepe — still crave that peppery bite), we sat down together with our plates and swapped travel stories. The light outside had gone gold by then, and someone put on quiet music in the background. It felt like we’d known each other longer than two hours. I still think about that moment when I taste coffee or see fresh basil at home, you know?
