Rome Pasta Class: Handmade Gnocchi, Pesto & Tiramisu

Ever wondered what gnocchi actually is? A recipe passed down through generations of nonnas, gnocchi are made mainly from potatoes rather than just flour, creating a simple, hearty dish that beautifully soaks up the sauce. In this class, you'll learn how to make gnocchi by hand, the real Italian way.

Put on an apron and spend the afternoon cooking in a characterful, family-owned Roman café with over 100 years of history. In this hands-on, fully vegetarian class, a friendly local host will guide you through making three Italian classics from scratch.

First, you'll make gnocchi the traditional way: mixing, kneading, rolling and cutting the dough by hand to create the rustic shapes of this beloved Italian classic. Next, you'll learn how to make basil pesto from scratch, grinding the ingredients the traditional way for a truly authentic flavour. To finish, you'll prepare a classic tiramisu from the ground up: making the mascarpone filling, soaking ladyfingers in freshly brewed coffee and layering everything together.

When the cooking is done, sit down and savour everything you've made with two glasses of Prosecco or wine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. More than just a cooking class, it's a chance to slow down, share a meal and experience Italian food traditions the way they're meant to be enjoyed.

Perfect for food lovers, couples and curious travellers alike. With a small group of no more than 10, personal guidance, and all ingredients and equipment provided, all you need to bring is your curiosity and a good appetite.
