About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in a Roman kitchen near St. Peter's Basilica for a three-hour pasta workshop where you'll shape ravioli and gnocchi alongside an Italian chef. You'll handle the dough with traditional techniques, learn the distinctions between fresh and dried pasta varieties, then sit down to eat what you've made with wine and coffee. An English-speaking guide ensures you catch every step, and you'll leave with recipe notes to recreate these dishes at home.

What to expect
You'll arrive at I San Pietrini restaurant in central Rome where an apron and full set of pasta tools await. The chef walks you through mixing, kneading, and shaping dough—expect flour on your clothes and a feel for how the dough transforms under your hands. You'll learn why fresh pasta cooks differently to dried, and pick up practical tips about ingredient quality. After roughly two hours of hands-on work, you'll move to a table where your finished dishes are plated and served warm, alongside bread, wine, and coffee. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The restaurant is walkable from public transport. This workshop isn't suitable if you avoid gluten. Bring the recipe sheet home—it covers ingredients and method so you can attempt these dishes in your own kitchen without guesswork.
