Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class in Rome: Make Both in 3 Hours

Three hours to master two dishes you'll cook at home for years

A 3-hour cooking class in Rome where you make handmade pasta with carbonara or cacio e pepe sauce and tiramisu from scratch under the guidance of a local expert chef in a traditional Roman kitchen. The class includes 2 glasses of prosecco, 2 glasses of wine, a shot of limoncello, and a free recipe ebook. Small groups fill fast, and you eat everything you've made before you leave.

The experience

Three hours in a real Roman kitchen means you walk out with two dishes you can actually make at home. You start by making tiramisu (the creamy, boozy version), and while it chills, you move to fresh pasta. Your chef teaches you how to roll fettuccine by hand and build either carbonara or cacio e pepe sauce from scratch, the kind of thing that sounds impossible until someone shows you it isn't. The prosecco flows while you work, then wine as you cook, so the whole thing feels less like a lesson and more like cooking with a friend who happens to know everything.

The best part is the eating. Once everything is plated, you sit down with your small group, these classes stay intimate, and taste what you've made with a shot of limoncello to finish. You get the recipe ebook to take home, so when someone asks how you made it, you have the exact steps. The kitchen is in the heart of Rome, and public transport is nearby. The meeting point can shift slightly depending on the day, but any change is within a 5-minute walk.

You choose between the standard class or a private version if you want the kitchen to yourself, and there's an option to add an extra wine tasting if you want to go deeper into Italian pairings. Participants under 18 get soft drinks instead of alcohol. The class has won the Travelers' Choice Best of the Best 2026, ranking in the top 1% of food experiences worldwide.
