Additional Information
Introducing our inaugural culinary masterclass featuring the creation of pasta sauces along with the crafting of fettuccine noodles!
Transitioning to local establishments, the unveiling of our Pasta and Pesto workshop takes place at a popular restaurant sited in Rome’s Piazza Navona district.
This course is among the exclusive few in the city that specializes in preparing sauces, featuring pesto as the star due to its several merits!
Pesto, being one of the simplest yet healthiest traditional Italian recipes for pasta dressing, not only augments the taste but also the nutritional quotient. Its no-cooking-required feature fosters safety by minimizing kitchen mishaps.
In tandem with pesto creation, we also delve into the traditional Italian art of Fettuccine pasta production, offering comprehensive guidance throughout the process. The restaurant chef personally brings your handmade pasta to fruition.
Enjoy your handcrafted pesto and pasta amidst a comfortable setting, complemented by accompanying appetizers and beverages, as part of this enriching culinary journey!

Perfect beginner class and evening activity for Rome - Bea was a great instructor easy to follow directions and nice conversation. After seven hours of touring Rome, it was the perfect end to our day. I was amazed at how easy it was to make pasta. The pesto tasted delicious. We are excited about being able to make our own pesto and pasta at home.
We also appreciated it that our pesto and pasta was labeled so that we got to eat what we made.

Who Knew? - Making handmade pesto with pasta was spectacularly original! I eat pesto all the time, but never thought to make it myself. The chef was patient, helpful and highly resourceful to our diet-diverse small group. I'm glad we booked it. The pesto sauced pasta we made tasted delicious. We'll re-live this vacation highlight again and again when we make our own homemade pesto and pasta.

Fun and informative class! - My daughter and I wanted to learn how to make pesto and this is the class for it! It’s a traditional pesto sauce for cooking and feels very authentic. Our instructor was Daniel and he was knowledgeable, patient and helpful. The kitchen is very clean and they had good hygiene. At the end, we got to eat our pasta in pesto sauce and it was delish!

Highly recommended! - I took my parents to Rome and found this cooking class available. The experience of making the pesto with the pasta was really amazing! It was great to prepare our own food, guided by the chef, who was very knowledgeable and friendly.
I recommend this activity to have a different day with your elderly parents.

Super pasta workshop - We are big-time pesto lovers, and who doesn’t love Italian pasta? I’m so glad we found this workshop, as it was really nice, and our chef, Daniel was a real gem. He is a real Italian chef. If you catch him, you understand what I mean! Thanks so much!
