Cesarine: Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Pompeii

About this tour

Roll and shape two varieties of fresh pasta by hand, then master the layers of tiramisu in a local Pompeian kitchen. This three-hour class with a home cook from Cesarine—Italy's network of passionate amateur cooks—puts you at the counter making genuine regional dishes. You'll share the meal you've prepared with fellow travellers, along with prosecco and espresso. No experience needed; just show up ready to flour your hands and eat well.

Highlights

• Hand-roll sfoglia and shape two distinct pasta types
• Build tiramisu from scratch with a local home cook
• Eat what you've made with prosecco and Italian aperitivo
• Learn recipes kept in family cookbooks for generations
• Meet fellow travellers over a shared meal
• Three hours in an authentic domestic kitchen

What to expect

You'll arrive at your host's home and jump straight into pasta work—learning the feel of dough as you stretch and fold sfoglia, then cutting and shaping two different pasta shapes. The kitchen fills with flour, conversation, and the smell of proper cooking. Halfway through, you'll switch gears to tiramisu: layering mascarpone cream, dipping biscuits in coffee, dusting cocoa. Once everything's done, you sit down together to eat the pasta you've made, drink wine, and taste the tiramisu. It's neither a performance nor a lecture—just a cook sharing their method while you do the work.
