Fresh Pasta & Gelato Cooking Class in a Roman Home with Cristina

About this tour

Learn to shape fresh pasta and make gelato from scratch in Cristina's Roman home, a genuine cooking session that skips the tourist kitchen for a local's kitchen surrounded by olive trees. Over three hours, you'll work through seasonal recipes—rolling ravioli, forming gnocchi, churning gelato—then sit down to eat what you've made, paired with local wine and Prosecco. This is Cristina's family repertoire, taught in her living space, not a commercial studio.

Highlights

• Roll ravioli and shape gnocchi by hand in a local's kitchen
• Make gelato or crostata depending on season
• Eat your finished dishes with local wine and Prosecco
• Learn recipes passed through Cristina's family
• Cook surrounded by olive trees in a Roman home

What to expect

You'll arrive at Cristina's house and spend two hours at her kitchen counter, learning techniques as she demonstrates. Expect flour under your fingernails, dough that sticks to your hands at first, and the rhythm of rolling pasta sheets. Cristina talks through her family's approach—no shortcuts, no templates. Once cooking wraps, you move to the table. Everything you made appears in courses: the pasta dressed simply, fresh bread, the dessert you churned. Wine flows. Conversation happens. You're eating in someone's home, not a restaurant.
