Trastevere Cooking Class: Handmade Pasta, Porchetta Tasting, and Gelato
Shop for ingredients, make fresh pasta, and enjoy your handmade meal with wine
A great Roman meal begins long before anyone touches a stove, and this 3-hour Trastevere class honors that tradition. Kick things off at a celebrated local butcher shop, tasting the neighborhood's famous porchetta and choosing fresh ingredients to cook with. Then, at a local trattoria, learn how to roll fettuccine by hand and fold ravioli. Once everything is cooked, sit down to eat your pasta with unlimited wine. A gelato tasting wraps the afternoon in the most fitting way possible.
