What to expect
Your guide meets you in central Rome and takes you through the key sights, sharing local stories and historical context as you walk. Once at the cooking venue, you'll move into a kitchen setting where a chef demonstrates pasta-making techniques. You'll get hands-on time shaping dough and crafting fettuccine, practising the three sauces you've picked. There's no sitting and watching—you're doing the work. Afterwards, you'll sit down to enjoy your pasta alongside a three-course meal, tasting the difference between what you've made and how the kitchen finishes it.
