Cook Like a Roman: Pasta & Dessert | Shared

About this tour

Master three pillars of Roman cooking in a 17th-century palazzo kitchen. This three-hour class walks you through making fresh pasta and two iconic sauces—Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, and Amatriciana—from first principles, guided by local chefs who speak your language. You'll start with Prosecco and nibbles, cook hands-on alongside fellow travellers, then sit down to eat what you've made, paired with wine. Leave with recipes and the muscle memory to cook Roman at home.

What to expect

You'll arrive, settle in with Prosecco and Roman-style starters, then move to the kitchen. The chef demonstrates each pasta shape and sauce, then you have your hands in the dough and pans. Expect flour on your apron and real mistakes—that's the point. Once everything's cooked, you'll move to the dining room, plate up, and eat together with wine. The whole thing feels less like a lesson and more like cooking dinner with knowledgeable friends. Three hours moves quickly.
