What You Actually Do In This Class
You show up to a real working kitchen in Prati, steps from the Vatican. A professional chef greets you in English or French. Then you get to work.
You make fresh pasta from scratch. You learn to build an authentic Roman sauce, either a classic pesto or a slow tomato, using DOP-certified local ingredients. No shortcuts. No pre-made anything.
The class runs two hours. You cook. You eat what you made. You drink wine or Prosecco while you do it. You leave with a chef's recipe card, a participation certificate, and professional photos of the whole experience.
Price: $75 per person. Everything included.
Why This Class Stands Out in Rome
Rome has a lot of cooking classes. Most feel like a show put on for tourists. This one does not.
The kitchen is real. The chef is a working professional, not a performer. The ingredients carry DOP certification, which means they meet strict Italian quality standards. You are not using supermarket pasta flour and bottled sauce.
The Prati neighborhood is a practical, lived-in part of Rome. Locals shop there. Restaurants there cook seriously. It is the right setting for a class that takes the food seriously too.
Groups are mixed with travelers from different countries, which makes the table feel like something more than a class. It feels like a meal with people who care about the same things you do.
Everything That Is Included
No hidden costs. Here is exactly what $75 covers:
Fresh pasta made by you from scratch. You mix, knead, and shape it yourself with the chef guiding each step.
Authentic Roman sauce. Pesto or tomato, made with proper technique and quality local ingredients.
Wine or Prosecco served throughout the class. You are in Italy. This is non-negotiable.
Chef's full recipe card so you can recreate the meal at home and actually pull it off.
Participation certificate for anyone who wants a keepsake or needs proof for a travel bucket list.
Professional photos taken during the class and shared with you after.
All ingredients are included. You bring nothing except an appetite.
Good To Know Before You Book
The class is taught in English or French. No Italian required.
Duration is two hours. That is enough time to learn something real without losing an entire afternoon in Rome.
Cancellation is flexible. Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled class and you get a full refund. No questions, no penalties.
This class is fully vegetarian. Fresh pasta, Roman sauce, quality ingredients. Nothing meaty, nothing processed.
It runs year-round, so booking in 2026 is straightforward. Spots fill up, especially in peak season. If you have a specific date in mind, book it now and sort the rest of your itinerary around it. A meal this good deserves to be the plan, not the afterthought.
