Learn Pasta and Tiramisu with Rome Locals

About this experience

Step into the heart of Italian culinary tradition in this immersive cooking class in Rome. Guided by a professional local chef, you’ll learn how to prepare fresh pasta and authentic desserts from scratch, whether you’re a beginner or a passionate food lover.

Start by creating fresh egg pasta, using classic techniques passed down through generations. Knead, roll, and shape the dough, then turn it into two of Italy’s most beloved pasta dishes: fettuccine and ricotta-filled ravioli. Choose your favorite sauce—Tomato & Basil, Cacio e Pepe, or Amatriciana—to complete your pasta.

Next, craft homemade Tiramisu, Italy’s most iconic dessert. Layer rich mascarpone cream with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a dusting of cocoa powder to achieve a perfect balance of flavor and texture.

Once your dishes are ready, sit down and savor the meal you’ve prepared alongside the chef. Your experience includes a glass of wine or soft drink, followed by limoncello or coffee to finish.
