Tour Description

Discover the Soul of Roman Cuisine

In the heart of Rome, within the elegant walls of a historic palazzo, guests are invited to uncover the secrets of the city’s most celebrated dishes. This immersive cooking class is designed to reveal not only how Roman pasta is made, but why it has remained a cornerstone of the city’s culinary identity for centuries. Led by an English-speaking chef, every participant takes part in a lively and flavorful experience that celebrates tradition, taste, and conviviality.

A Sparkling Start

The class opens with a toast of Prosecco, accompanied by small Roman-style appetizers that awaken the palate. This warm welcome sets the stage for the afternoon ahead, where history and hands-on practice come together in our modern yet atmospheric kitchen and dining room. Guests are encouraged to relax, sip, and take in the unique atmosphere before diving into the art of pasta-making.

From Dough to Sauce: The Roman Trilogy

The experience begins with the foundation of it all: fresh pasta dough. With expert guidance, participants learn how to achieve the perfect texture, supple and elastic, ready to be transformed into timeless Roman plates.

The lesson then turns to the heart of Roman cooking: the sauces. Each one tells a story of the city itself. Carbonara, born in the mid-20th century, reflects post-war Rome with its simple yet indulgent combination of eggs, pecorino, and guanciale. Cacio e Pepe, whose roots stretch back to ancient shepherds carrying aged pecorino and black pepper on their journeys, showcases the beauty of simplicity elevated to perfection. Amatriciana, originating in the hilltop town of Amatrice, combines tomatoes and guanciale in a robust sauce beloved in Roman trattorie for centuries. Every recipe is prepared with fresh seasonal ingredients, with the chef weaving history and anecdotes into the process.

A Roman Feast with Perfect Pairings

After cooking, guests sit down together to enjoy the dishes they have created. Each pasta is served with a thoughtfully selected local wine that enhances its flavors, though soft drinks are also available for those who prefer. To conclude on a sweet note, a homemade Italian dessert is served, prepared in advance by our kitchen team, ensuring a memorable finale to the meal.

Take Rome Home with You

This three-hour experience is more than a cooking class—it is a bridge to Roman heritage, leaving participants with the skills and knowledge to recreate these legendary dishes back home. With every forkful of pasta, guests will relive not only the tastes of Rome but also the stories that make them unforgettable.

Please note: a minimum of three participants is required for the class to run.

Absolutely the best experience I had in Italy. Enough said. Marco was an amazing instructor. I will forever remember him and what he taught me.

A wonderful Roman experience

We (group of 4 people including grandparents and teenager) took a pasta class with 3 sauces. It was very interesting but also a lot of fun. A very relaxed atmosphere and a wonderful teacher/chef in Giulio. The class is the first part and at the end we sat down and ate our plates - much more food than we needed, of course. Simply wonderful!

A 5-Star Experience with Marco! If you're looking for an unforgettable cooking class, look no further than Marco's! From the moment the class began, his professional attitude and generous nature shone through. He created a warm and welcoming environment, patiently guiding us through each step of the process and offering helpful tips along the way. Marco's true passion for cooking is contagious, and he was incredibly generous with his knowledge, sharing valuable insights and techniques that went far beyond what we expected. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident in the kitchen, and the result was not only a delicious meal but a truly enriching experience. I highly recommend Marco's cooking class to anyone, regardless of skill level. It's a fantastic way to learn new recipes, have fun, and enjoy a wonderful culinary journey. Marco deserves all the five stars and more!

We took a cooking class with Alessandro today—my husband and I plus our three kids (16, 13, and 11)—and it was an absolute hit! We were joined by one other guest and spent three wonderful hours learning and cooking together in a calm, air-conditioned space (a perfect escape from the heat wave!). Alessandro was welcoming, knowledgeable, and great with both adults and kids. We made cacio e pepe, amatriciana, and homemade gelato (coffee and Nutella was the crowd favourite). Highly recommend this experience—fun, delicious, and memorable. Fingers crossed our cacio e pepe and gelato turn out just as good at home!
