Rome: Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class near Trevi Fountain

Make pasta from scratch in Rome’s historic heart with a welcoming team

You’ll roll pasta dough by hand in a sunlit Roman studio near Trevi Fountain, guided by locals who make you laugh even when your ravioli falls apart. Taste fresh fettuccine and homemade tiramisu you crafted yourself, plus prosecco and olives to start things off right. This isn’t just a cooking class. It’s an afternoon you’ll remember whenever you see flour on your hands.

The experience

The first thing I noticed was the light: soft gold coming through tall windows, bouncing off marble counters. We were just a few steps from the Trevi Fountain but it felt miles away from the crowds. Our host, Silvia, greeted us with a glass of prosecco and these salty Gaeta olives that I kept reaching for (honestly, I could’ve eaten the whole bowl). There was this faint smell of coffee somewhere in the background: maybe from the tiramisu ingredients waiting for us.

I’d never made pasta before, so when Silvia showed us how to press our thumbs into the dough for fettuccine, my first try looked like something out of a play-dough set. She just grinned and said “bene!” anyway. The kitchen was full of little sounds: the slap of dough on wood, laughter when someone’s ravioli burst open, forks scraping focaccia plates. At one point I tried to pronounce “pecorino” properly and got a round of friendly corrections from everyone at the table. It felt like being at someone’s family dinner rather than a class.

Making tiramisu was messier than I expected: my fingers ended up dusted in cocoa powder and espresso dripped down my wrist. But eating what we’d made together (with more wine) felt kind of special. The ravioli filling tasted bright (lemony?), and I’m still thinking about that first bite. We lingered at the table longer than planned. Nobody seemed in a rush to leave or check their phones. Maybe it was the wine or just that Roman dusk outside, but it all felt pretty good.

What’s included

Your afternoon includes all ingredients for hands-on pasta making (fettuccine and ravioli), classic tiramisu prepared by you, a welcome glass of prosecco with Gaeta olives and focaccia to nibble on as you cook, plus still and sparkling water throughout, and everything wraps up with everyone sitting down together to share what you’ve made right there in central Rome.
