Rome : Pasta and Tiramisu Class in a Roman Home in Trastevere

About this tour

Cook pasta and tiramisu in Ilaria's Trastevere kitchen, where three generations of Roman culinary knowledge live. This three-hour session skips the theatre of a cooking school—you're in her family home, handling dough, tasting wine, and learning the hand movements and timing that recipes can't capture. Small groups keep things intimate; seasonal ingredients and shared stories fill the afternoon.

Highlights

• Knead fettuccine, ravioli, and orecchiette from scratch
• Layer tiramisu using Ilaria's family method
• Sip wine whilst cooking in a working Roman kitchen
• Learn sauce-building techniques passed through three generations
• No spectators—you cook and eat together at the table

What to expect

Expect flour under your fingernails and conversation that meanders like good cooking should. You arrive to a welcome drink and snacks, then move straight into prep work. Ilaria guides you through pasta-making without fussing—she shows you how dough should feel, when to fold it, why timing matters. You'll prepare sauces with seasonal produce, then assemble tiramisu. Halfway through, the kitchen fills with the smell of what you've made. Near the end, you sit down together and eat it. Wine flows. No rushed plating, no performance—just food, people, and the rhythms of a home kitchen.

Good to know

Maximum eight people keeps the space from feeling crowded. Dietary needs (vegetarian, lactose-free) work if you mention them when booking. Public transport reaches Trastevere easily. Babies in prams are welcome; specialised infant seats are on hand.
