About this tour
Roll and shape fresh pasta by hand, then stuff two regional varieties from scratch in an Assisi home kitchen. Your host—a passionate local cook—guides you through the fundamentals before you sit down to eat what you've made, rounded off with homemade tiramisu. Three hours that feel like a masterclass in how Italians actually cook at home, with prosecco and aperitivi to mark the occasion.
Highlights
- Hand-roll sfoglia (fresh pasta sheet) using traditional technique
- Prepare two distinct filled and fresh pasta shapes from scratch
- Master tiramisu assembly in a working family kitchen
- Eat lunch with wine pairing in your host's home
- Learn recipes passed down through local family cooking traditions
- Aperitivo with prosecco and homemade nibbles
What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and move straight into the kitchen. First comes the pasta dough—mixing flour and egg, kneading until silky, then rolling it thin by hand with a mattarello (wooden pin). Your host demonstrates, then you have a go. Next, you'll shape two different pasta types: one stuffed, one cut and formed fresh. It's messy, a little awkward at first, then oddly meditative. Midway through, tiramisu gets assembled—ladyfingers, mascarpone, espresso. By the time everything's cooked and plated, you're genuinely hungry. You'll eat together at the table, try the wines they've chosen, and probably ask for the tiramisu recipe twice.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The class runs three hours including the meal. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Your host speaks English and Italian. Bring an appetite—you'll be eating what you make.
