Authentic Tiramisu
It's easy to mess up a great tiramisu, but not when you have a seasoned chef by your side. Follow their tips for success and you're sure to be able to re-create this tasty treat at home. You'll use fresh ingredients like ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, and eggs to build your own dessert to die for. And you'll feel confident with this early success to tackle the pasta dough next!
Fettuccine and Ravioli
Now it's time to master those pasta-making skills you're aching to brag about when you get home. So with sleeves rolled up, watch your chef carefully lead you through each step of the process. No machines, no tools. Just your hands and muscles feeling each push and pull of the dough as you build that ever-important gluten.
Once you've worked to roll that dough out to your chef's approval, it's time to learn about all the different types of pasta that can be cut. For this class, you'll master cutting the proper size of fettuccine with half of your dough. Then compare how well you do against the rest of your group as you carefully stuff and pinch off your ravioli so it won't explode as it cooks! Don't worry—your chefs are there to help you out.
Wine and Dine
Finally, after your hours slaving away in the kitchen and laughing with your fellow students, it's time to sit back and enjoy your meal. Enjoy the company of like-minded travelers as you sample what truly authentic, fresh pasta tastes like. Warning: it might forever ruin Olive Garden for you, and that's actually ok. After all, Italians know Italian food best—and now you will too!

A Culinary Dream Come True in Rome!
Andrea Bugen
I had the most unforgettable experience taking the Pasta and Tiramisu cooking class in Rome! From start to finish, it was an absolute joy. The class was hands-on, and we learned how to make two types of homemade pasta—ravioli and fettuccine—from scratch. The instructor was not only skilled but also incredibly personable, guiding us through each step of the process with patience and expertise. We got to roll, fill, and shape our ravioli and then learned the perfect technique for making fresh fettuccine. By the end of it, I felt like a true Italian chef. I can't wait to get home and cook for all my friends and family this holiday season!

Unverified Review
We took a class on the last Sunday of September. We were taught by chef Forio. He was entertaining and informative. The hands-on experience to make fettucine, ravioli and tiramisu has prepped us to be confident pasta makers. Detailed instructions were given, so it was fun. Post making the pasta, they gave us a choice to have it in Amatriciana, Cacio e pepe or tomato based. We all chose amatriciana. Was great. We could opt for a glass of wine or soft drinks, followed by a shot of limoncello. It was a fun half day for us.
