Tour Description
Rome’s typical cuisine, the so-called ‘Cucina Romana’, counts some legendary pastas amongst its repertoire. Carbonara might be the most famous. But in fact, the eternal city has gifted the world another three of the most delicious pastas: Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana & Gricia (three of which are unashamedly laced with that oh so Roman ingredient, guanciale (pork cheek), that’s produced abundantly in the Roman countryside.
They are hearty dishes made unique by their liberal dusting of Rome’s answer to parmigiana, the mighty ‘Pecorino Romano’. And each of them has garnered a cult status – they are bold, delicious and characterful in a way, reflecting the very nature of Roman culture. That’s why we’ve designed this cooking class – so you can learn how to master them.
Discover how to create Rome’s most famous pasta dishes
Simple though they seem, these dishes are harder to cook than they look. This is why every trattoria in Rome serves them – when Romans go out to eat they are generally not looking for a new and exciting dish- they are on the lookout for the most perfect Carbonara or Cacio e Pepe because, let’s face it, there is nothing more sublime and delicious. Local Chefs are measured in their ability to do these dishes well.
In this class, we will teach you to excel at these Roman pasta dishes. Our Chef has spent years mastering these four pastas in some of Rome’s best trattorias. He in turn wants to show you how to re-create them at home.
Celebrate by tasting your culinary masterpiece
To conclude the class, all the dishes made will be enjoyed as a pasta feast perfectly paired with local wines. While you taste these classic and delicious pastas, this is your chance to have a discussion about the best tips for authentic Italian cooking. Can bacon be used in the absence of guanciale or pancetta? Is adding garlic really akin to a sin? You’ll have to ask the chef!

It was a very hot summer day and she always looks for ways to give us the information under the shade before we went into the sun. I highly recommend this company and Martha as well. It was very easy to make the reservation and pay. We took the private tour and was perfect. 3 hours that feel like Half hour . We didn’t do any limes to get into the places. Know that if you go by yourself or in other yours you could be up to 2 hours under the sun to get into the coliseum or forum. I highly recommend the private tour. read less - 8/05/2022

This year we chose the Appian Way bike tour and the three pastas of Rome cooking class. Both of them were unforgettable!
First, the bike tour. I am a klutz, and the last time I was on a bike I had such a bad crash I never thought I’d do it again, but this was something my husband had wanted to do for a long time, so I nervously agreed. Our guid, Fabrizio, was amazing. He was patient with me and before long the beauty and aromas of the Via Appia Antica melted my fear. We got to experience the city I love so dearly I. A unique way, get some exercise, and learn so much about the city’s history. I absolutely recommend this experience, and we’re thankful we had Fabrizio as our guide. He was great!
That evening we got to celebrate my survival with the cooking class! Davide was our chef and he too was outstanding! Caccio e pepe, carbonara, and amatriciana are the three pastas. The class was wonderful. We were welcomed with Prosecco and a selection of cheeses, meats and olives. I’m a vegetarian but wanted to learn to make everything and was planning to just eat the caccio e pepe, but Davide grabbed some extra tomatoes and we made a pomodoro sauce that’s the best I’ve ever had just a wonderful experience! The location is beautiful, which adds to the ambience. Amazing as always, WIR! read less - 6/24/2022NorthStar739415

Our tour group met in front of the Vatican Museum entrance just before 7:30 and entered right at 8am. Our guide Cecilia was extremely knowledgeable and spoke great English. Plenty of time to take pictures along the tour as well. We ended our tour in St Peter’s Basilica, but stayed longer to go see the catacombs. We were there probably 4 hours total. Would not have been the same experience in a larger group or later in the day. read less - 6/11/2022
