Be sure to give yourself enough time to get there. The storefront doesn't pull up in google maps. I had a great time once I got there with the class and the instructor was great. The food was amazing.
It was so much fun. We learned a lot. I was worried it would be too hard with my kids but my 4 and 7 year old had such a great time! Riccardo, our chef/teacher, was very nice and very helpful!
Incredible experience that makes authentic pasta feel within reach. For all ages! Family of 5 with ages 6-10 enjoyed a small group pasta making experience with plenty of food, learning and conversation.
Lots of fun. Great to do with a group. Learned some new pasta cooking techniques. I would suggest putting a sign outside. A little hard to find.
It was such a fun and entertaining activity. The instructor had a sense of humor. He made everyone feel at ease. Would highly recommend this tour.
Low keyed small group class. We learned 3 basic pastas that were delicious. Giorgio has obviously been doing this for some time and could guide us through mistakes.
If you’re visiting Rome, I can’t recommend this pasta cooking class enough! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The booking process was incredibly easy, and for the price, you get an unbelievable value. Between the fresh pasta you make, the delicious food, drinks, snacks, and the overall experience, it felt like one of the best activities we did during our trip.
Our instructor, Ricardo, was absolutely fantastic. He was personable, funny, patient, and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we arrived. His enthusiasm created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that even people who had never cooked before felt comfortable jumping right in.
The class is very hands-on, so you’re not just watching—you get to make the pasta yourself while learning techniques you can actually use at home. It was both educational and entertaining.
One of the unexpected highlights was meeting people from all over the world. Everyone was friendly, and the class naturally encouraged conversation and laughter. If you’re traveling solo, this is an amazing way to meet other travelers in a fun, social setting. I attended with my partner, and we both agreed we’d do it all over again without hesitation.
The location is another huge plus—it’s right in central Rome, making it easy to fit into your sightseeing plans.
Overall, this class was the perfect mix of authentic Italian culture, incredible food, great company, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My family and I really enjoyed the class. Giorgio was the chef, and we had a great time. I definitely recommend as an afternoon activity.
This class was such an amazing experience. Olga was our chef and we loved the experience. It was so beginner-friendly and fun. Great amount of time and food was so good. Olga gave us great recommendations for Rome and we were so grateful. Definitely recommend for all!!!
Such a great family experience my 3 kids loved making pasta! Very interactive and now my children are interested in cooking!
Excellent and detailed instructions. Very patient and slow. I can actually go home and try making pasta. Loved getting the recipes.
It was a great experience. We learned how to make multiple types of pasta. The class was hands on and the instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Fun interactive cooking class with Fabrizio! He was super attentive and knowledgeable and friendly. Great way meeting new people and learning all the tips and tricks to make pasta. Highly recommend for kids too.
You make the pasta and eat it too. We even got a tasty dessert
Teacher was very helpful and fun.
I do recommend this tour
Giorgio was a great teacher, very professional but also very funny, always joking. We had a great time .
At the end we sat at the table together with friendly people we cooked and ate our production.
We had wine, desert and Lemoncelo.
We enjoyed every minute and warmly recommend this experience.
Fabrizio was a fabulous chef and instructor! He even made my lack of cooking skills look amazing! Highly recommend and it was a lot of fun
Amazing experience and super fun to do with family and friends! I was traveling solo but will do it again with my loved ones for sure! A great way to share meaningful and enriching moments together!
I had the opportunity to take a homemade pasta-making class in true Italian style in Rome. Our teacher was extremely skilled and very friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
In addition to learning how to prepare fresh pasta, we were served wine, limoncello, which I particularly loved, and a delicious dessert. In their shop, they also had a selection of wines produced by the company itself, and I was happy to purchase some as a lovely reminder of the experience.
Overall, it was a wonderful and authentic experience that I would definitely recommend.
The class was fun, simple and entertaining. Olga was awesome, I didn't know how easy pasta making can be. It was great thank you!
The location was good, right in the centre of Rome. We had Fabrizio as our teacher and he was entertaining, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a good laugh throughout but it was clear that Fabrizio was a genuine professional and he made sure we received lots of information and tips on making pasta, pasta fillings and also sauces. Some nice wee extra touches throughout. This booking was for my wife’s birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
We had the most amazing experience. Fabrizio was funny and very knowledgeable. The class was fun, warm, and engaging! It was my birthday and he even surprised me with candles and a special treat! I would absolutely do the class again. Worth every penny spent! The pasta was also great!
This experience started off rocky. Instructions to find the location were unclear. The picture from the Maps was different. There was no cat? (I guess this was ann antremot ant being cutesy in order to find the location but it was a fail). And the entrance is in a very dark alley that is easily missed. We walked by it several times, there is no signage, and none of the businesses close by on the main roads are familiar with it. There was no number to call, apparently they attempted to call me to ask if I was going to be on time after the experience had already started. However I don’t use what’s app, so that was a fail.
Ultimately after settling my frustrated nerves, Giorgio was helpful in learning to make pasta from scratch. It was an okay experience, not very exciting or entertaining if that’s what you’re looking for, very calm and to the point. A little boring.
I would try again somewhere else with another vendor.
this experience was really good. it was a relaxed atmosphere with our chef fabrizio making everyone at ease and feel very welcome. it was both fun and informative. a lovely experience to share with your partner, friends or on your own to meet new people. pasta, wine, good company and good times.
I really enjoyed it
Made three different pastas was 8 to a class after we cooked it we ate as a family
We had an amazing time! Our host, Christian, was energetic, eager, and felt more like a fun cousin than a formal instructor. He immediately put everyone at ease, making the pasta-making process easy to follow and enjoyable for all. Our group included two grandparents in their 80s, two adult children (18 and 22), and my spouse and me, and every single person had a fantastic time. We loved spending the evening with the other guests (hello New Zealand and local Romans!), enjoying incredible pasta and sauces, everything was so delicious. My one regret was not buying the chitarra pasta maker, please don’t make the same mistake, be sure to purchase it!
I loved learning but the best is that the pasta becomes actually really good and tasty. Super fun and also receiving biscuits, wine, dessert and limoncello is a special treat! Shout out to the instructor who was alone in our night and even alone was able to handle 20+ with excellence.
Fantastic experience! Christian was outstanding. Very patient, kind & so much fun. Highly recommend. A trip highlight for sure!
Very fun activity!! Made 3 different types of pasta and got to eat them all. Ricardo was knowledgeable and entertaining!
Christian have an amazing class with funny jokes, the pasta was delicious. It was a very good experience which we would recommend.
Fabrizio was awesome! I brought my 9 year old son with me. Fabrizio was very accommodating and helpful with his teaching. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Fun experience, and tasting our food at the end was the cherry on top.
