The experience

You arrive at a local's home and spend the afternoon learning to make pasta the way it's done in the Romagna region. The class is hands-on from the start: you choose whether to work with egg-based doughs (tortelloni, ravioli) or dry semolina shapes (orecchiette, cavatelli, spaghetti alla chitarra), then shape, cook, and season your own pasta with homemade sauces. The instructor walks you through technique and tradition so you can recreate it at home. All the equipment (pasta machine, rolling pin, ravioli board, apron) is there waiting.

Once the cooking is done, you sit down to eat. The meal starts with an aperitivo: bruschette topped with seasonal vegetables, olives, parmesan, and taralli, paired with Prosecco or local wine. Then comes your fresh pasta, served with the sauce you helped prepare. Dessert is your choice (tiramisu in various flavors or Torta Caprese, a moist chocolate and almond cake) followed by coffee or tea. All beverages are included: local wines, still or sparkling water, and whatever you drink after the meal.

The class accommodates dietary needs: vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available, and the operator asks you to flag allergies or intolerances when you book. Public transportation runs nearby, so you don't need a car to get there. Children from six years old can join.
