I dragged my bf to this pasta & gelato class and honestly, we both LOVED it way more than we thought. Chef Valentina was hilarious, made everyone feel like we were just friends hanging out, not a formal class. The pasta dough was tricky at first (my arms got a workout rolling it, lol) but hers turned out so smooth. I accidentally cracked an egg on the table and nobody even blinked, just laughed and helped me clean it up. The gelato part was my fave—chocolate with sea salt, which I never woulda tried if she hadn’t suggested it. We were with a couple from Brazil and a family with kids, and everyone got involved. The room was a bit warm but there was plenty of water. We ate everything we made, and even got seconds! Def recommend if you want something hands-on and DELICIOUS in Rome.

Fun class, pretty chill vibe overall. We were a group of 12 so it felt a bit crowded at the tables but that made it more lively. The chef, Marco, kept it moving and explained every step (even if his English was a bit wobbly sometimes, but we got it). Making ravioli was harder than Youtube makes it look, haha. Gelato demo was cool but we didn’t actually get to churn it ourselves. Still, tasting the finished product made up for it. Good for couples or even solo. Would’ve liked a bit more time to eat at the end but we had to be out for the next group. Still worth it!

Took my mom for her birthday and it was such a unique thing to do. The chef (Giada, I think?) was super patient with us and kept the jokes coming. My tagliatelle came out a bit lumpy but tasted soooo good with their house pesto sauce. The class moved at a good pace, not rushed. My mom loved learning the gelato secrets—she’s already planning to try it at home. Nice group, international crowd. FYI, can’t take pics during the actual gelato churning but we got plenty after. Would do it again!

Enjoy a guided culinary tour through Rome’s city centre, featuring hands-on pasta making with an expert chef, and a gelato tasting experience to top off the visit.

Roll and knead your dough to make your pasta, and pair it with rich sauces like amatriciana, butter and sage, and cacio e pepe.

Indulge in creamy gelato after and learn how to identify the real deal from gimmicky ice cream.

Complimentary drinks are served during your pasta-making class, with soft drink options also available for guests.

The hands on experience kneading and shaping the pasta was so satisfying and fun. It was nice to have help along the way when we needed it. My daughter learned a lot with the extra attention while I got to enjoy the class too! Thanks to all the ladies who made it a wonderful experience!

It was pretty decent. Pasta making is fun but honestly I expected more hands-on for the gelato part. Also, a bit toooo many people in the class, so I felt like we were bumping elbows a lot. The staff were friendly and the food tasted fresh. If you’re looking for something different from the usual sightseeing, worth a shot, just maybe not on a super hot day.
