We very much enjoyed Anna's tour. She was very knowledgeable. And........... when I told her I did not like cheese you could immediately see her thinking about how to cope with that bomb shell. And then she made it into something to joke about when, in the cheese tasting part, two of the other members of our group didn't eat there cheese either! She rang ahead to each eatery and asked if they could accommodate me and they did which shows how much they value her. Thank you Anna

Itinerary
TOTAL DURATION3 hours - 4 hours
MODE OF TRANSFERWalk
START POINT
Central Rome
History, flavor, and culture collide in the heart of the Eternal City. You might be kneading dough while gazing out at cobblestoned streets or raising a glass with the Colosseum just a stroll away. Being centrally located is ideal — since it's easily accessible by foot, metro, or taxi, or whether you're staying in Trastevere, Monti, or near the Spanish Steps.
Note: The cooking studio and how your class unfolds varies slightly based on the starting point you choose in central Rome.

Option 1: Via della Polveriera 9, near Colosseum
1 activities
Tickets included
The ultimate “Rome by day, romance by night” combo, this experience not only helps you tick off the big sights — the Colosseum, Forum, Constantine's Arch — but also keeps your itinerary efficient and exciting with a nearby cooking class.
To reach this cooking studio, head to the terrace above the Colosseo metro station. Take the pedestrian bridge that passes over the street. The office is about 50 meters across; you can spot it by the purple flag.

2. Tiramisu

3. Ravioli
Food & Drinks
Included in price
Roll out golden pasta dough until it’s paper-thin. Spoon dollops of creamy ricotta or savory spinach filling, fold, press, and seal each pocket with love. Boiled to tender perfection, then tossed in butter or sauce, your ravioli is handmade, heartfelt, and absolutely delicious.
4. Fettuccine
Food & Drinks
Included in price
Crack eggs into a flour well and knead until the dough is smooth and springy. Roll it thin, then slice into long golden ribbons. Once cooked al dente and tossed with a rich sauce, it’s pure pasta perfection — made by you, from scratch, with love.
5. Enjoy your sit down meal
Food & Drinks
Included in price
Glasses of deep red, crystal white or clear, golden bubbly...it's assured that your glass will never remain empty throughout the class. Fancy unlimited soft drinks instead? That's available too!

Knead silky dough, stretch it smooth, and fill it with fresh ricotta, mushrooms, or herbs. Press and crimp each square with care, sealing in flavor like a secret.

Piazza Navona is one of Rome’s most elegant and lively squares — full of artists, music, and charm. Taking a cooking class nearby means you're surrounded by stunning architecture and a buzz of Roman life.

4. Fettuccine
Food & Drinks
Included in price
Mix flour and eggs into a golden dough, kneading it smooth with flour-dusted hands. Roll it out thin, then slice into long, silky ribbons. The strands tangle beautifully, ready to meet a rich tomato sauce or buttery sage.
5. Enjoy your sit-down meal

The marketing for the event was a total scam. We had limited time in Rome and wasted it on this event. The food was terrible, the boat was old, and the river is unsightly. It was sold to me as a tour. Not one word was said about anything. The hostess was very nice. I give this a minus 0.

Things to do
1. Tiramisu
Food & Drinks
Included in price
There's not much difference between crafting magic or crafting tiramisu. Coffee-soaked biscuits, creamy clouds of mascarpone, a dusting of bitter cocoa all layered in rustic ceramic bowls and chilled... it's not just dessert — it’s a memory layered with flavor, culture, and joy.

Food & Drinks
Included in price
Knead soft dough, roll it thin, then spread a swirl of rich tomato sauce. Add creamy mozzarella, earthy mushrooms, olives... and watch the colors pop like an Italian flag. In and out of the wood-fired oven — savor crispy edges and melt-in-your-mouth cheese.

Drinks

Included in price
And now, the grand finale — tiramisu. Creamy, dreamy, and dusted with cocoa, this iconic Italian dessert contains layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and velvety mascarpone, which melt together in every bite. It's the perfect ending to your Roman culinary adventure.
