Roman Cooking Class for Families — Pasta, Cacio e Pepe & Tiramisu
Rome, Italy
About This Activity
In a well-equipped kitchen near Trastevere, a local chef guides your family through three dishes central to Roman cuisine: hand-rolled fettuccine pasta, cacio e pepe sauce (the two-ingredient Roman classic), and tiramisu. Children age 5+ love the hands-on kneading, shaping, and sauce stirring. The 3-hour class covers dough technique, sauce emulsification, and dessert assembly — then you sit down to eat everything together. Groups max 10 people. Morning and afternoon sessions run daily. Take home your handwritten recipes.
Seasonal note: Year-round indoor activity
