Hands-On Culinary Experience in Rome
Gelato and Fettuccine Pasta Cooking Class in Rome at Piazza Navona
Roll fresh pasta and churn artisan gelato steps away from one of Rome's most iconic squares.
This gelato and pasta cooking class in Rome places you inside Ristorante Tucci at the edge of Piazza Navona, where a hands-on workshop introduces two of Italy's most beloved culinary traditions in a single session. You learn the craft, then sit down to enjoy exactly what you prepared.
The class is structured in two distinct segments. During the first, participants work through the fundamentals of handmade fettuccine pasta, learning to mix, knead, and cut the dough. During the second, the focus shifts to artisan gelato, covering the techniques that separate Italian gelato from standard ice cream.
Once the cooking portion concludes, guests take their seats in the restaurant. The kitchen finishes the pasta to order, waiters bring it to the table alongside appetizers and a drink, and the gelato is served as dessert. The result is a complete Italian meal built entirely from what the group produced during the workshop.
