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.

How the Class Unfolds
Arrive at Ristorante Tucci overlooking Piazza Navona and meet your instructor. The session begins with a brief overview of the ingredients and tools you will be using.
You will learn how to combine flour and eggs correctly, then knead the dough by hand until it reaches the right consistency for fresh pasta.
Using a rolling pin or pasta machine, you will roll the dough thin before cutting it into classic fettuccine ribbons. Your instructor will guide you through each step.
Once shaped, your fettuccine will be cooked to order. You will learn the timing and water ratio that give fresh pasta its characteristic texture.
