Pasta Making Class Rome: Steps from Pantheon

Shape three pasta types with your hands, then sit down to eat them

A 3-hour pasta-making class in a historic palazzo near Rome's Pantheon where you learn to make ravioli, tortelli and fettuccine by hand from a professional instructor, then share your creations around a communal table with two sauces and organic Tuscan wine. The class is in English, includes a recipe booklet to take home, and runs with a minimum group size.

The experience

You'll work inside a beautiful historic palazzo just steps from the Pantheon, in the heart of Rome's most recognizable neighborhood. The instructor walks you through the traditional techniques (kneading, rolling, shaping) using only flour and eggs, the way Italian home cooks have done for generations. This isn't a demonstration where you watch from a stool. You're at the counter with your hands in the dough from the start, making ravioli with parmigiano and ricotta filling, tortelli with nutmeg, and fettuccine by hand.

The 3-hour experience moves straight from instruction into practice, so the theory connects to what you're actually doing. Once the pasta is shaped, you gather around a large communal table to eat it: your ravioli and tortelli dressed in butter and sage, the fettuccine with tomato sauce, finished with chocolate salami. Organic Tuscan wine from the school's own cellar pairs with the meal, and the conversation happens the way it does in a real Italian family, with stories and laughter between bites.

You leave with a detailed English recipe booklet so you can recreate the shapes and sauces in your own kitchen. The class welcomes individuals, couples, families and groups. Service animals are allowed, and the location is accessible by public transportation.
