Rome: Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine & Limoncello

Summary

Make fettuccine from scratch then laugh over tiramisu and wine in Rome

You’ll step into a Roman kitchen with a local chef guiding you through making fettuccine pasta from scratch and layering up classic tiramisu. Taste your own creations over wine or soft drinks, then finish with limoncello or coffee. Expect laughter, floury hands, and that warm feeling when you’ve shared something real in Rome.

What’s the experience like?

We ducked off the busy Roman street into this little kitchen—honestly, I almost missed the doorway because I was distracted by the smell of fresh basil wafting out. Our chef, Marco, greeted us with a grin and flour on his apron (which felt promising). There was music playing softly—something old and Italian—and everyone shuffled around a bit awkwardly at first, but Marco cracked a joke about his “pasta muscles” and suddenly it felt like we were just friends hanging out.

I’d never made fettuccine before. Turns out, you really do get flour everywhere. My dough looked sad at first but Marco showed me how to knead it properly—he even let me try saying “Amatriciana” which I completely butchered (he laughed, not unkindly). The best part was rolling the pasta out and seeing it turn into these long ribbons. We all got to pick our sauce—I went for cacio e pepe because I’d heard Romans are serious about their cheese and pepper. The kitchen smelled like tomatoes, pepper, and something sweet from the mascarpone for tiramisu.

When we sat down to eat what we’d made, there was this moment where everyone went quiet for a second—just tasting. My pasta wasn’t perfect but honestly? It tasted better because I’d made it myself. The tiramisu was creamy with just enough coffee kick. Someone poured limoncello into tiny glasses and we toasted in Italian (I forgot how to say “cheers,” but nobody seemed to mind). Walking back out into the Roman evening, my hands still smelled faintly of lemon zest. I still think about that view from the doorway as we left—the city buzzing outside while inside everything had slowed down for a bit.
