Pasta Cooking Class in Rome - Fettuccine Class in Piazza Navona
Roll up your sleeves and master handmade fettuccine in one of Rome's most iconic squares.
This pasta cooking class in Rome gives you a genuine, hands-on introduction to Italian pasta-making set against the spectacular backdrop of Piazza Navona, one of the most celebrated public spaces in the world.
Hosted at Ristorante Tucci, the class runs for two hours: the first half is dedicated to making fettuccine from scratch, and the second half is devoted to sitting down and enjoying what you have made. The format is relaxed and accessible, making it suitable for complete beginners and seasoned home cooks alike.
