About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in a Roman home learning to roll, shape and cook pasta from scratch alongside a local cook. You'll start with an aperitivo, work through the fundamentals of dough and filling, then sit down to eat what you've made with wine. No experience needed—just show up hungry and willing to get your hands floury. The whole thing unfolds at a relaxed pace, the kind of afternoon Romans actually live.
Highlights
- Roll and shape pasta by hand in a local's kitchen
- Welcome aperitivo and savoury snacks to begin
- Cook and eat your finished pasta straight away
- Wine and coffee included throughout
- Intimate group setting, not a crowded class
- Learn techniques used in everyday Roman cooking
What to expect
You'll arrive at a residential kitchen where a local cook walks you through mixing, kneading and resting dough. Then comes the practical bit: rolling sheets, cutting shapes, folding ravioli—whatever the cook specialises in that day. Mistakes happen and that's fine; pasta-making is forgiving. Once you've finished shaping, your pasta goes into boiling water. While it cooks, you'll sit at a proper table, aperitivo in hand, chatting with the cook and other guests. Your pasta arrives hot, dressed simply, and you eat together with wine. It's casual and unhurried, nothing staged.
Good to know
Wear something you don't mind getting flour on. The kitchen can be warm, so dress in layers. Public transport nearby makes getting there straightforward. The group is small, which means personalised attention but also a slightly longer wait if you're learning slowly—embrace it.
