About this tour
Master three pillars of Roman cooking in a three-hour hands-on class steps from Piazza Mattei. Work alongside a chef to roll pasta sheets, shape ravioli, and layer tiramisu from raw ingredients. You'll finish with a spread of what you've made, wine pairings included, and the muscle memory to recreate each dish at home. Small groups of up to twelve keep things intimate and manageable.
Highlights
- Roll and shape fresh pasta and ravioli by hand
- Layer and set tiramisu from scratch with proper technique
- Taste your creations with paired Italian wine
- Learn dough consistency and filling ratios that work
- Cook in a workshop metres from Renaissance Piazza Mattei
- Class suited to absolute beginners and confident cooks alike
What to expect
Expect to work at a shared bench or station where the chef demos each step, then you replicate it. You'll knead and roll pasta dough, feel the resistance change as you work it, then cut and crimp ravioli shapes. The tiramisu section involves whisking, layering, and understanding why chilling matters. Halfway through or at the end, you'll sit down to eat what you've made with wine. The pace is deliberate—no rushing—and the chef corrects grip and pressure as you go. Most people finish with sore forearms and a genuine sense of accomplishment.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind dusting with flour. The experience isn't suitable if you have coeliac disease; gluten is central to the menu. Groups top out at twelve, so book early in peak season. Hotel transfers aren't included; the workshop sits in central Rome and is walkable from major transport links.
