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!
