Rooftop Pasta and Cocktails Cooking Class in Rome

About this tour

Learn to roll, cut, and cook fresh pasta from scratch on a Rome rooftop, then master two classic Italian cocktails in a hands-on three-hour session. A small group works alongside a local chef, moving through each technique at a relaxed pace before sitting down together to eat what you've made. The setting overlooks the city, the instruction is practical rather than theatrical, and you'll leave knowing how to recreate both dishes at home.

Highlights

• Roll and shape pasta by hand with a local guide
• Mix and taste two traditional Roman cocktails
• Cook your pasta and eat together on the rooftop
• Small group size keeps the pace manageable
• Drinks included throughout the class

What to expect

You'll arrive at the rooftop kitchen and begin with pasta basics: mixing flour and eggs, kneading the dough, resting it, then rolling it out thin. Your host talks through timing and feel rather than strict measurements. Once pasta is ready, you shift to the bar section and build two cocktails, learning the balance of spirits, citrus, and ice. There's tasting involved. Finally, you cook your pasta in salted water—a quick job—dress it simply, and gather around a table to eat together while the light changes over Rome's rooftops.

Good to know

Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The rooftop is open-air but covered. Public transport reaches the location easily, and the entire space is wheelchair accessible. Groups are kept small, so book ahead.
