I highly recommend this activity. The place was easy to find and was an adorable Italian market with an area of prepared foods, a bar, a wine bar and several private rooms one of which was used for our class. Tomas was our instructor and was very engaging and made this class very enjoyable. The group consisted of 11 people and the crowd was very friendly. There was even an engagement that happened during the pasta making experience. After we made our pasta we were brought to a casual eating area where we were served bruschetta and wine. The pasta was delicious!

Penny_G, Dec 2023

The lesson was great, the meal was then average as it was luke warm, and the restaurant staff took little interest in us. Disappointed.

Mixing Pastas

Chantasy_S, Nov 2023

Our class was a lot of fun and the woman teaching it was amazing.. however.. despite labelling each persons tray with their name, we noticed that everyone’s pasta was mixed together. As we all prepared it without gloves on it could be unsettling for some. The restaurant it’s held in is beautiful though. For the price I’m sure there are better/more hygienic classes.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback about our Fettuccine and Maltagliati making class in Trastevere. We appreciate your positive comments about the fun and the amazing instructor.

The appearance of the pasta change after boiling, which might explain why it seemed different from the raw pasta created initially. It's important to note that the pasta is boiled at 100 degrees Celsius during the cooking process, ensuring it adheres to hygiene standards. We understand the importance of a hygienic environment and appreciate your concerns. We'll take your feedback into consideration for future classes to enhance the overall experience. Thank you for choosing our class, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to let us know. Grazie mille!

Fun, yummy, and memorable!

April_L, Oct 2023

It was so fun making pasta in Rome! It was neat to see how we could make 2 types of pasta from the same dough, just 2 shapes. Once we each made our raw pasta, we got to choose from 2 sauces, and they cooked each of our pastas separately so we could each eat the one we made. The food included was the perfect amount for a meal (with just enough room for finding some gelato after the class). Finally, I loved that they emailed the recipe for the pasta we used afterwards. P.S. The pork on the carbonara was the most delicious thing we've ever tasted!

So inspiring, learn a skill for life!

Rachel_H, Oct 2023

Tiziana was fun and knowledgeable made my son feel so inspired. When we got back to the uk he made the most amazing pasta carbonara independently…. Tiziana taught him a skill for life and no doubt would have been very impressed! The restaurant was beautiful and we all got to eat together with the others on the course ( 7 in total) so had some lovely chats and a really intimate dinning experience. Bruchetta, glass of wine and limoncello after our home made pasta ( or coffee) was all included. So we also didn’t need dinner that night so great value for money too! Thank you so much Tiziana my son Iestyn will never forgot learning how to make pasta with you! Just a fabulous experience xxxx

Just Okay

Mackenzie_C, Oct 2023

Fun experience but the food wasn’t great. There were 3 different sauces and they were all very bland. I don’t think you even get to eat the pasta you make, I believe everyone’s pasta gets cooked together. After making the pasta, we sat down at a table with our group and had dinner and no one really came to check on us. A few of us were willing to pay for a second glass of wine but we didn’t have the chance. Would recommend for the experience, but don’t come with high expectations.
