Rome Cooking Class: Make Fresh Pasta & Tiramisu

Make three Italian dishes with your hands, then sit down and eat them.

A hands-on cooking class in Rome where you make fresh fettuccine and ravioli from dough, craft a classic tiramisu with mascarpone and espresso, and share the meal with other participants. The class runs 2.5 hours with a professional chef guiding each step, from kneading to plating. All ingredients, equipment and an apron are provided.

The experience

You'll start by learning how to mix and knead fresh pasta dough, then shape it into fettuccine and ravioli under the chef's direction. Each technique (rolling, cutting, filling) gets explained and demonstrated before you do it yourself. The instructor watches and adjusts your grip or pressure, so whether you've never made pasta or you cook at home regularly, you're working at the right level. Once the pasta is ready, you move on to tiramisu: layering mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and cocoa powder into the classic dessert.

The class happens in a warm, social setting where you're encouraged to ask questions and experiment. You're not watching a demonstration. You're doing the work, with all the ingredients and equipment already laid out. By the end of the 2.5 hours, you have three finished dishes and the techniques to make them again at home.

Once everything is plated, you sit down with the other participants and eat the pasta and tiramisu together. It's the natural end to the class: you taste what you've made, share the meal, and leave with both skills and a memory of the afternoon.
