The Experience

I showed up to Antica Trattoria Agonale convinced I’d be the only one who couldn’t knead dough properly — but then our instructor, Marco, spilled flour everywhere trying to open the bag. Everyone laughed, so I relaxed a bit. The restaurant sits right on Piazza Navona, which means you can hear the square’s buskers through the windows if you listen closely. There was this faint smell of espresso and yeast in the air, plus a hint of tomato from somewhere behind us. We started with drinks and little bites — I went for wine because why not — and Marco explained how their pizza dough rests for almost two days before we even touch it. That part surprised me. He kept switching between Italian and English, sometimes both in one sentence.

Rolling out my own pizza was messier than I’d imagined. My circle looked more like Australia than Italy, but Marco just shrugged and said “It’s rustic!” He showed us how to spread sauce with the back of a spoon (not too much), then layer cheese and whatever else we wanted. The oven heat made the whole place smell like bread — I still think about that scent when I walk past pizzerias now. For tiramisu, we whisked eggs and sugar until my arm hurt; apparently that’s normal? I tried to say “mascarpone” properly but Li from Singapore laughed at my accent (fair). The coffee for dipping ladyfingers was strong enough to wake up half of Rome.

Lunch was just us around a big table, eating what we’d made while people-watching through those tall windows onto Piazza Navona. Someone ordered limoncello after — sharp, sweet, kind of sticky on your lips. It felt like being part of something local for a couple hours instead of just passing through as another tourist. If you’re looking for a pizza and tiramisu cooking class in Rome that isn’t stiff or formal, this is it. Don’t wear black though — flour gets everywhere.

What’s included

Your day includes all ingredients for making pizza and tiramisu at Antica Trattoria Agonale on Piazza Navona, plus appetizers and drinks during the workshop.
