Rome: Pizza Cooking Class Near Piazza Navona & Prosecco

Summary

Make pizza in rome near piazza navona with prosecco and local tips

You’ll knead dough with locals near Piazza Navona, sip prosecco as you learn secrets from Roman chefs, top your own classic pizza, then share it over wine or beer at Osteria Pasquino. Expect bruschetta starters and a choice of coffee or limoncello after your meal. It’s warm, lively—and you might even laugh at your own Italian.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the sound—plates clinking and someone humming behind the bar at Osteria Pasquino, just off Piazza Navona. I’d walked past that corner before, but never thought I’d end up rolling dough there. Our chef, Marco, greeted us with a grin and a glass of prosecco (I almost spilled it while trying to shake his hand—classic). The place smelled like flour and tomatoes, plus something a little smoky from the oven. It felt busy but not rushed—like everyone had time for one more story.

I’d made pizza at home before, but this was different. Marco showed us how to stretch the dough without tearing it (I definitely tore mine at first—he just laughed and patched it up). The flour stuck to my hands for ages. We picked toppings—classic margherita for me, though someone next to me piled on mushrooms and prosciutto. There was bruschetta too; garlicky and messy in the best way. The pizza cooking class in Rome wasn’t just about technique—it was more like being let in on a family secret.

Afterwards we sat together at long tables by the window. My pizza looked lopsided but tasted perfect—crisp edges, soft middle, that bit of char underneath. Wine arrived (red for me), or beer if you wanted. Someone ordered limoncello instead of coffee after eating, which seemed right for Rome in June. There was a lot of laughter when people tried their Italian—the waiter winked when I said “grazie” with my weird accent. I still think about that view out onto Via del Governo Vecchio as the light started to fade—not much else felt important right then.
