About this tour
Spend five hours in Civitavecchia learning to cook an entire Italian meal from scratch. You'll start at the bustling local market with a guide, hand-selecting ingredients alongside your professional chef. Then retreat to a private restaurant kitchen where you'll master fresh pasta by hand, build a sauce, prepare a second course and dessert, and sit down to eat what you've made, paired with regional wine, limoncello and espresso.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the market, where you'll walk the stalls picking out produce, cheese and other staples with your chef's eye for quality. You'll then move to the reserved kitchen space in a local restaurant. Here, expect to get your hands messy: rolling pasta, stirring sauces, prepping your second course and dessert under instruction. The chef keeps things relaxed whether you've never cooked before or spent years in kitchens. Once everything's ready, you'll sit at your own table, tasting each dish you've made, with wine and water flowing throughout.
Good to know
The experience runs five hours total and includes all food, wine, coffee and after-dinner drinks. You'll need to be comfortable standing and working in a kitchen; the space is fully wheelchair accessible. Children can attend (those under 18 can't have alcohol). Wear something you don't mind getting sauce on.
