Delve into the world of Roman cuisine on a small-group culinary experience that combines a food tour of the Trastevere neighbourhood with a pasta-making class.
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When it comes to food, our Trastevere Pasta Making Class is the ideal way to sip, snack, cook and enjoy the city like a local in the heart of one of its most charming and historic neighbourhoods. Led by a chef passionate about sharing their craft, you’ll begin with a stroll around the Trastevere area with a few delicious bites along the way, before stepping into an old-school trattoria to try your hand at making pasta from scratch.
On your 3-hour small-group pasta-making class, you will:
Make your way through the charming cobbled streets of Trastevere for an immersive culinary experience that blends a food tour with a hands-on pasta-making class in one of the neighbourhood’s old-school trattorias. Led by a local chef who knows Trastevere like the back of their hand, you’ll begin by exploring this lovely corner of the Eternal City, soaking in its lively atmosphere while uncovering the history and flavours that make it one of Rome’s most beloved districts. Along the way, you’ll stop to taste a few local favourites, perhaps warm pizza bianca stuffed with porchetta fresh from the oven, or a sampling of aged pecorino and parmesan cheeses from an artisanal shop, getting a true taste of Rome at places where locals go.
Then it’s time to step inside a traditional trattoria, where you will slip on an apron and join your chef for a hands-on cooking lesson that brings Roman culinary traditions to life. Under their guidance, you’ll prepare two fresh pasta dishes entirely from scratch, often a hearty Amatriciana fettuccine and delicate seasonal ravioli, though the exact recipes change with the market and the season. As you mix, roll, and shape, your chef will share tips and tricks passed down through generations, revealing the secrets that make Roman pasta so iconic. Throughout the class, you’ll sip on excellent local wines, chosen to complement the dishes you’re creating.
The experience culminates in the best part of any Italian cooking class: sitting down with your small group to enjoy the fruits of your labour, surrounded by the warm, convivial atmosphere of the trattoria. And because no Roman feast is complete without a sweet finale, you’ll end with a stroll to a nearby organic gelateria, where you’ll enjoy a scoop of authentic gelato and learn how to tell if your delectable dessert is the genuine article.
Whether you join in the morning for a leisurely lunch or in the afternoon for a festive dinner, this class offers more than just recipes. It is a window into Rome’s culinary traditions, its local ingredients, and the joy of sharing good food in good company.
