Pasta and Tiramisù or Gelato Cooking Class | Private

Learn to Cook Italy’s Most Loved Classics

Few dishes capture the heart of Italian cuisine like fresh handmade pasta and creamy, coffee-kissed tiramisù. This private cooking class in Rome invites guests to go beyond tasting these two icons—to create them from scratch in a beautiful, authentic setting. Led by an English-speaking local chef, the experience blends culinary tradition, hands-on fun, and the warmth of Italian hospitality.

Cook in a Historic Roman Kitchen

The class takes place in one of InRome Cooking’s exclusive venues: either our 17th-century palazzo just behind Piazza Navona or our modern kitchen a short stroll from the Pantheon. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a chilled glass of Prosecco and a spread of traditional Italian antipasti. The elegant surroundings, filled with the aroma of fresh ingredients and the hum of conversation, set the perfect tone for a true Roman cooking experience.

Start with a Sweet Beginning: Tiramisù

The lesson begins with one of Italy’s most beloved desserts—tiramisù. The chef guides participants step by step through the traditional recipe, from preparing silky mascarpone cream to soaking ladyfingers in rich espresso. Learn how to balance sweetness and texture, and discover the little secrets that make this dessert so irresistible. By the end, everyone has a perfectly layered tiramisù ready to chill while moving on to the savory portion of the class.

Master the Art of Fresh Pasta

Next comes the heart of Italian home cooking: fresh pasta from scratch. Roll up your sleeves and dive into the age-old process of mixing flour and eggs, kneading the dough, and shaping it into the perfect ribbons, sheets, or fillings. With expert guidance, choose your favorite style—tagliolini, fettuccine, ravioli, or tortellini—and pair it with a signature Roman sauce such as cacio e pepe, carbonara, or amatriciana. Every step reflects the soul of Italian cuisine: simplicity, care, and quality ingredients.

Enjoy Your Roman Feast

After cooking, sit down in the elegant dining area to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your freshly made pasta is served with carefully paired local wines, followed by the tiramisù prepared earlier in the class. The unhurried meal offers time to savor each bite, exchange stories with your chef, and soak in the warmth of true Italian conviviality.

A Private Experience Tailored to You

Designed for couples, families, and small groups, this private class allows for personalized attention and a relaxed pace. The chef adapts to your skill level and preferences—whether you’d like to focus on a particular sauce, try a vegetarian variation, or explore regional twists. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that brings Italy’s culinary heritage to life in a personal and memorable way.

We can substitute tiramisu for gelato upon request.
