Every trip has one free day too few. These 8 dessert tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
In Palazzo Grazioli near the Pantheon, an English-speaking chef guides you through ravioli, tortelli, and fettuccine from flour and eggs to dinner. You will cook your pasta, share it at a communal table, and finish with organic Tuscan wine, cake, and limoncello. Recipes go home with you.
“Wonderful. Olga was a fantastic teacher. Perfect experience in the heart of Rome”
Chef Giuseppe and his team guide you through pizza, egg pasta, water-based pasta, two sauces, tiramisù, wine, and limoncello. You cook in a wood-fired oven, eat in a Roman garden, receive metro transfers from Laurentina, and take home a digital recipe booklet.
“When I clicked on the link for the meeting place, it sent me to the wrong address. When I contacted customer service, they told me they had already left and said I would have to take a taxi to the location of the class. By the time I was able to get a cab, the class had already started. They were not willing to work with me to reschedule or refund any of my money. I do not speak Italian, and getting around Rome is very difficult. The guy at customer service could have been a little more understanding. I will be contesting this charge on my credit card. I…”
Start at Trevi Fountain, then follow an archaeologist through Vicus Caprarius, a compact underground site with Imperial Roman masonry, coins, amphorae, and water channels. Guides such as Carla, Erika, Noemi, and Alessia bring the archaeology to life before you collect a gelato voucher nearby.
“Great explanations from our guide Carla, we could understand more of what we only heard of in other tours such as ancient city. Although it was small, we could see close up what the underground lasagna looks like. Thumbs up!”
Ride as a passenger with an English-speaking guide through Rome’s historic center, stopping for tiramisu, panoramic views, and photo sessions at Janiculum Terrace and Giardino degli Aranci. The small-group tour ends near the Colosseum, with edited photos sent within three days.
“You feel safe zooming through the streets and learn the facts about the cith along way. If you are looking for a unique experince book this !”
At Osteria San Giorgio in Rome, you will knead, roll, and cut fresh tonnarelli, then layer espresso-soaked ladyfingers with mascarpone for tiramisu. English-speaking instructors, including Christian and Shula, guide groups of up to 10 through the class before you sit down to eat with wine.
“What a fun way to spend an afternoon! Great teacher who put us all at ease, even those with next to zero cooking experience. Made a basic fresh pasta and tiramisu, which we got to eat with a glass (or 2) of wine, and they were delicious! Shoutout to the other participants, they were the most gorgeous bunch! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, loved it.”
At Restaurant Gusto on Via Giuseppe Zanardelli 14, an English-speaking chef guides you through fresh fettuccine and classic tiramisu. You roll and cut the pasta, prepare dessert, then eat with your choice of sauce, wine or a soft drink, and limoncello or coffee.
“Great chef! We learned only how to make the pasta itself. Souces made back in the kitchen. They cooked our pasta with souce and brought back to us”
At Osteria San Giorgio, an English-speaking instructor such as Kris, Luca, or Elisabeth guides you through kneading, rolling, and cutting fresh pasta, then making tiramisu. You finish by eating your handmade meal with a glass of wine.
“Absolutely fantastic!! Luca was so easy to work with and a great teacher. My 6 and 10 yr old had the best time and were able to do everything. Definitely recommend!”
Join chef Andrea and his team five minutes from Piazza Navona for a 2.5-hour pasta and tiramisu workshop. You will make fresh fettuccine, tonnarelli, or maltagliati, eat it with your choice of sauce, and finish with tiramisu, limoncello, prosecco, and wine. French support may be available.
“The course took place in a restaurant in Rome. It was very nice to learn how to make fresh pasta with an Italian chef, our translator for French helped us a lot. We were lucky to be the only ones on this course, so we were able to discover how to make them, the recipe and the chef gave us the portions. We then ate our pasta with sauce of our choice made by the chef in front of us, and it was excellent 😊 plus a delicious tiramisu for dessert, and a glass of Prosecco 🥂 it was a very good experience, I recommend it.”
