About this experience

Skip the restaurant and step into a real Italian kitchen for an authentic hands-on cooking experience in Rome near Piazza Navona, you'll learn how to prepare three of Italy's most iconic creations: fresh handmade pasta, creamy tiramisu, and delicious artisanal gelato. As classic Italian music fills the kitchen, you'll discover traditional techniques, local ingredients, and the secrets behind recipes passed down through generations. This experience is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to passionate food lovers. Roll, knead, mix, and create your own meal from scratch before sitting down to enjoy the lunch or dinner you've prepared. More than just a cooking class, this is a chance to connect with Italian culture, share laughs around the table, and create unforgettable memories. You'll leave with authentic recipes, and a deeper appreciation for Italy's rich food traditions. Come hungry, leave inspired, and take home more than recipes take home a true Italian memory.
