Rome's 8 best pasta making classes, ranked from more than 16,000 verified reviews — fresh fettuccine and ravioli, classic Roman sauces, and the kitchens where it's done right.
Rome is one of the few cities where making pasta counts as a cultural experience, not just a cooking lesson. The best classes here hand you the secrets of cacio e pepe, amatriciana and perfect fettuccine in the same kitchens where generations of Italian home cooks learned them.
We went through more than 16,000 verified reviews across Rome's top-rated pasta classes to rank the best options available right now.
The Pasta & Tiramisù class by the Vatican is the best value — 6,500+ reviews, a 4.9 rating, from €25. For the most hands-on experience, the 3-in-1 Fettuccine, Ravioli & Tiramisù class uses real professional chefs from start to finish.
Every class below books through GetYourGuide with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Prices are converted to euros and rounded.

We focused on the criteria that matter when you're handing over your euros and two holiday hours:
The two highest-rated, best-value picks lead; the rest follow by review volume and the kind of traveller they suit best.
Rome's single most-reviewed cooking class. Handmade pasta and tiramisù from scratch with a local chef in a neighbourhood restaurant near the Vatican, with free-flowing fine wine and Prosecco.
Make two or three fresh pasta shapes with a team of instructors two minutes from the Pantheon, finished with organic Tuscan wine, limoncello and dessert.
Real chefs, no demonstrations: make fettuccine and ravioli entirely by hand plus tiramisù from scratch near Piazza Navona — the category's most technique-dense class.
The best-value entry point: make fresh fettuccine from scratch at a restaurant overlooking Piazza Navona, then dine over the square's fountains with a drink and limoncello included.
Everything by hand — no machines, no pre-made dough. Fresh fettuccine with the Roman sauce of your choice plus tiramisù, paired with wine and a closing limoncello.
Steps from the Spanish Steps in Rome's most elegant quarter. A welcome drink, small groups and an unhurried, polished evening of pasta and tiramisù. Available in English and Spanish.
Make two pasta dishes and a Neapolitan pizza from dough to wood-fired oven, plus tiramisù, in an outdoor Roman garden — with unlimited wine and metro pickup included.
A half-day in the hilltop wine town of Frascati: a 15th-century family cellar, a town walk, fresh pasta with Roman sauces and a proper two-wine tasting. The most immersive option here.
Most classes teach fettuccine as the primary pasta — a wide, flat ribbon that's forgiving for beginners. You mix 00 flour with eggs, knead the dough, rest it, roll it thin by hand and cut it into ribbons, then choose a classic Roman sauce: carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana, or tomato and basil. Higher-end classes also cover ravioli.
Most run 2.5–3.5 hours. The cooking itself takes 60–90 minutes, followed by a sit-down meal of everything you made.
None at all. Every class on this list is designed for complete beginners and guided step by step.
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. All equipment and ingredients are provided.
All classes here run in English. The Spanish Steps class also runs in Spanish.
Reviews sourced verbatim from each class's GetYourGuide listing. We do not edit or solicit reviews.

You really get to make your own pasta and tiramisu and it actually looks and tastes great. Guaranteed a great memory for all.

April did a great job at making us feel like true chefs. A great experience with prosecco while we wait, pasta making, and dinner with drinks after.

My family loved our pasta class! My children were able to make pasta just as well as the adults. We've already bought the '00' flour to make our own at home.
