You will learn the art of rolling and cutting pasta, prepare hand-cut fettuccine but also fusilli or farfalle, You will make Ravioli and Tortellini filled pasta.

The first course is ravioli and tortellini with a white sauce recipe from the hostess.
The second course is tonnarelli pasta with homemade pesto sauce.
The third course is fettuccine, the ones you cut by hand, with a sauce that can be Ragù or Amatriciana or, if you are vegetarian, Country sauce or Arrabbiata.

Wonderful time with an Italian couple in their home. Learned to make a number of different types of pasta both by hand and by using a machine. Afterward we enjoyed a lovely lunch eating the pastas we prepared with sauces prepared by the couple. The dishes were paired with both a red and white wine. They were very accommodating with food allergies. They took photos throughout and provided them to us. We would highly recommend this experience.

Pasta class with Rome local and amazing chef

Alissa_F, Nov 2023

We had an amazing pasta class the whole family loved!!! Super friendly host and amazing chef too! Everything was perfect from the cozy apartment, hands on lesson and amazing three course pasta meal at the end on the balcony!

Amazing!!! Would go again

Amanda_S, Sep 2023

We had an amazing experience, learnt so much and still cannot stop talking about it, would recommend to all!

Lovely pasta making and luncheon experience

Paul_H, Jul 2023

Wonderful!

Tiffany_P, Jul 2023

This was so much fun! Held in a private home, it felt intimate without feeling awkward. We were with several other people but got wonderful service. The dessert at the end was magnificent, and their little dog who comes to greet you (and stays out of the way while the cooking is happening) is adorable. We ordered a pasta maker immediately upon leaving to practice our new skills at home.

Very disappointing

David_H, Jun 2023

Would not recommend. Very basic and inefficient. Expensive. Didn't get anything to eat or drink until after 8pm. We had to get glass from kitchen and get water from tap (description was wrong with snacks, bottled water and wine-nothing until dinner which felt thrown together) I was very annoyed that I spent this $. Left as soon as we felt we could and went out to eat because we didnt want to eat here. I feel bad because family was nice but honestly I cannot believe Viator has this on their site.

Amazing cooking experience with lovely hosts

Adam_P, Jun 2023

Amazing experience, the class was very informative and we as a couple learnt a lot. My only request and suggestion would be to include how the pasta sauce was made in addition to making the pasta itself as what was made for us was delicious! Overall 10/10 evening with a great group of people, would strongly recommend

There were too many...

Liat_C, Jun 2023

There were too many people, beyond their capacity, there was not enough space, they ran out of products in the middle. Without explanations, we didn't have an experience, everything was technical, we didn't enjoy ourselves. Expensive and unnecessary.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

sorry we did not meet your expectation . we will work harder to improve our service . thanks

Best! Tour! Ever!

Rachel_C, Jun 2023

This was our favorite experience on our recent trip to Rome to celebrate our 20th. The cooking class is led by the cutest couple and their adorable dog in their home. It was very hands on and informative. After we made the pasta, our hosts served four courses of pasta, homemade tiramisu and wine. We dined on their balcony with people from all over the world. I will remember this for a long time. Thank you to our hosts for their knowledge and hospitality!

Lovely Experience

Christine_F, Jun 2023

This was such a wonderful experience. You make three types of pasta and the hosts welcome you into their home. They are wonderful teachers and it is extremely interactive. You feel like part of the family and then you sit down to have a wonderful meal on their terrace.

Fantastic, could not have asked for more.

JoAnn_B, Jun 2023

We had a memorable time. Such a sweet couple and so gracious to us novices. We have already recounted the experience to many friends, with great enthusiasm.

Meraviglioso! Fun, interesting and tasty

Katherine_K, May 2023

A real delight! I never imagined one could simply mix an egg with semolina and wheat flour to create dough for pasta. The guides were fun and taught us how to hand-make fettuccine, ravioli, and tortellini; then we used a pasta machine to make lots of tonnarelli. The best part was sitting on the terrace eating our pasta creations crowned with delicious sauces and accompanied by white and red wine. Meraviglioso!

Amazing experience!

Adi_B, May 2023

This cooking class was one of the best experiences we have had in Rome! We enjoyed cooking together while Andrew and Milvia, the nice couple who host us, were explaining with passion about pasta. We made spaghetti, ravioli, tortellini and fettuccine. All dishes were amazing, the best pasta we had.

We really enjoyed this...

Maryann_K, Apr 2023

We really enjoyed this experience in Rome. The hosts were wonderful and very knowledgeable about making pasta. The food was absolutely fantastic!!! Would definitely recommend this experience.

Fun evening

John_C, Apr 2023

We had a relaxed fun evening learning the basics of making pasta. Being in a private home was a wonderful experience and a chance to enjoy Italian hospitality in a tangible way

Once in a lifetime experience

Victor_G, Apr 2023

Their expertise on making fresh pasta isn’t something you can find on Youtube. Even if there was such thing on Youtube, nobody would explain it to you with such a great attention to detail and patience

Great experience!!

Ricki_H, Apr 2023

Our pasta class with Andrea and Milvia was a highlight of our Rome trip! They welcomed us into their beautiful home and spent 3 hours with us teaching us about different techniques. Milvia helped us prepare the dough, and Andrea helped us cut it into different types of pasta. We enjoyed our meal together!

Cozy and fun

Nicole_S, Apr 2023

Andreas and his wife was kind and accommodating of our last minute request for a class that same morning. The tips and personal attention was very helpful. In our conversation we mentioned we were in Rome celebrating our 10yr wedding anniversary and he surprised us with a yummy bottle of wine for the group to celebrate with. The food and techniques were great.

They were a wonderful...

Olivia_R, Feb 2023

They were a wonderful couple and an amazing experience! You felt very at home and learned a lot! Thank you!

Best cooking class and LOVELY couple

Alireza_K, Dec 2022

They are lovely couples who know how to teach cooking Italian food perfectly. They provide a lovely and friendly environment that is beyonds a cooking class. We also enjoyed the conversation and sharing stories.

MUST DO In Rome!!!

Blake_S, Dec 2022

One of the best experiences I’ve had in Italy! Do not miss out on a fun, authentic, and delicious experience cooking with Milvia and Andrea. They taught us a lot about making homemade pasta and made us feel so comfortable in their home! Milvia and Andre made this experience the most enjoyable. We were welcomed into their home and really got an authentic experience! We made 3 types of pasta and had so much fun with them. My two friends and I were with one other couple so the course felt like a private class! After all the pasta making we sat and had a 3 course wine lunch which Milvia cooked in the kitchen herself and shared the recipes with us after. They are the nicest family and I am so happy we took the course. I would recommend to all my friends visiting Rome and definitely book it again!
