With Roman floors underfoot and centuries-old frescoes above, you'll make fresh pasta and tiramisu in a setting that feels straight out of history. It’s an unforgettable way to learn Italian cooking, far from the usual classroom experience.

  • Tour a 14th-century palace
  • Cook in an ancient basement
  • Make pasta and tiramisu

The Pasta Trinity

Begin your culinary journey in the palace’s ancient basement, where Roman floors and medieval wool-making remnants set a unique scene. Guided by expert chefs, roll up your sleeves and craft three classic pasta dishes from scratch (silky tagliatelle, pillowy gnocchi, and flavorful ravioli) while learning time-honored techniques and enjoying a little fun (and flour) along the way.

Final Sweet Treat
