About this tour
Learn to roll, shape and sauce pasta from a Roman chef in her home kitchen over 3.5 hours. Fiamma, Debora, Maurizio and their dog welcome you into their family space to master tagliatelle all'amatriciana, cavatelli with four-cheese sauce and tiramisù. You'll understand the logic behind Roman sauces rather than just follow steps, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside wine pairings. Morning or evening slots mean you get lunch or dinner depending on when you book.
Highlights
- Hand-roll fresh pasta shapes with a chef who knows Roman food history
- Decode the technique behind iconic sauces, not just recipes
- Eat your finished dishes with wine in a working family home
- Learn tiramisù assembly and why it matters
- Morning or evening class fits your schedule
What to expect
You'll arrive at Debora's kitchen and start with tagliatelle, learning how dough feels under your hands and why thickness matters. Moving to cavatelli, you'll get the rhythm of shaping by hand. Between dishes, Fiamma (a sommelier) talks through wines; Maurizio shares stories about Roman food history and the neighbourhood. The kitchen is real—busy, warm, occasionally chaotic with the family dog underfoot. By the end you'll have made three dishes from scratch and will eat them at a proper table with wine and company rather than standing around tasting spoons.
Good to know
Book morning for lunch, evening for dinner. Wine is included for adults (18+). The class runs at their home in Rome; check public transport links beforehand as it's not included. Wear clothes you don't mind flour on. Bring appetite and patience—this isn't fast-paced theatre.
