      Private Cooking Class in the Heart of Rome: 3 Types of Pasta and Wine

      Master the art of handmade Italian pasta alongside a Roman chef with two decades of kitchen expertise.

      This private pasta cooking class in Rome invites you into the authentic world of Italian cuisine, where tradition, technique, and a genuine passion for food come together. Under the guidance of Chef Christian, a born-and-bred Roman with twenty years of professional experience, you will roll, shape, and sauce your way through three classic pasta dishes.

      The session takes place in a welcoming kitchen in the heart of Rome, designed to feel more like a friend's home than a formal cooking school. The relaxed atmosphere encourages questions, experimentation, and plenty of laughter as you work side by side with a chef who genuinely loves what he does.

      By the end of the class, you will have produced fettuccine, gnocchi, and cavatelli entirely by hand, gaining a practical understanding of dough ratios, shaping methods, and sauce pairings that you can replicate at home. A glass of wine served during the experience rounds out the session in true Roman style.

      Handmade Fettuccine

      Classic Roman Gnocchi

      Move on to potato gnocchi, mastering the balance of ingredients that separates light, pillowy results from dense, heavy ones. Chef Christian shares the techniques refined through years of practice.
