Delicious Tiramisu

Believed to have been invented in Treviso back in 1800, this beloved dessert soon became popular all across Italy. Made with simple ingredients like savoiardi (ladyfingers), mascarpone cheese, and eggs, it’s an indulgent treat that can be easy to make—if you know how. With your chef guiding the way, you’ll concoct your own sweet dessert with enough time for it to chill and soften before indulging.

Authentic Pasta from Scratch

Few things are more Italian than pasta and after this cooking class, you can wow your friends at home with your authentic pasta-making skills! Mix and knead your own dough using fresh eggs and flour, while your chef shows you the best preparation techniques and the various cutting methods popular in Italy from tiny tagliolini to the broad strips known as pappardelle.

Buon Appetito!

With your pasta freshly made, you’ll choose your sauce from favorites such as carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, and alfredo, and then you’ll sit down with your group to savor your homemade lunch or dinner. Enjoy a glass of wine with your meal, then get ready for dessert!

After eating your homemade tiramisu, you’ll be served a classic Italian coffee or a glass of limoncello to end your Rome culinary experience.
