I highly recommend this activity. The place was easy to find and was an adorable Italian market with an area of prepared foods, a bar, a wine bar and several private rooms one of which was used for our class. Tomas was our instructor and was very engaging and made this class very enjoyable. The group consisted of 11 people and the crowd was very friendly. There was even an engagement that happened during the pasta making experience. After we made our pasta we were brought to a casual eating area where we were served bruschetta and wine. The pasta was delicious!

Fun authentic experience for all ages

Alana_C, May 2023

This was one of our favorite experiences of our trip. From the charming and beautiful restaurant Ercoli, to the upbeat chef, it was so fun making pasta and chatting with fellow travelers from all over the world. And the food and wine were delicious! We arrived a couple hours early to explore and shop in the unique clothing and shoe boutiques in the Trastevere neighborhood like DJ dress and Carlo Cecchini.

Chef Jess is the BEST!

Erick_L, May 2023

Ok, this was so much fun! Our family really enjoyed this experience and had a blast. The restaurant was easy to find and Chef Jess was the BEST! We were pasta making pros by the end. For the price, this was really a bargain since it also included your meal and drinks! It was an authentic and informative experience and after, we strolled Trastevere to get a more “local” vibe than just seeing the typical tourist areas. We look forward to recommending this class to other friends and family. The Lewko’s

Fun and relaxing date night

Zach_B, May 2023

My wife and I enjoyed making our pasta entirely ourselves from start to finish. Jessica was fun and an excellent teacher. After making our pasta, we chose which sauce we wanted and sat down at a nice private table. We thought the combination of making our pasta and them preparing the dish was perfect for a fun date night.

Great start to our trip to Rome!

Carrie_R, May 2023

We arrived in Rome the morning of our pasta class. The venue was easy to find, lovely inside, clean and charming. Our chef teacher was terrific, guiding us through the process to make pasta dough from scratch. Each student’s pasta was labeled and then served to us at a long dinner table with the other students. Our four 20-something kids loved the experience!

Perfect evening and fun and delicious! Chef Jess was fantastic! One comment should have a sign or a person at the entrance for where to go because nobody seemed to know where to go to Meet the group. Everything was perfect!

Jessie was such a wonderful teacher and we had so much fun!! I was a bit nervous to take the class with my 8 year old daughter (in case she couldn't keep up with the adults), but Jessie was there every step of the way to make sure everyone was on track, helped her with the knife handling, and it all turned out wonderfully!! This is a MUST DO in Rome!

Meh pasta experience

maknavyrn, Mar 2023

We were disappointed with this tour. It seemed like once we made the pasta we were totally ignored. The cacio and Pepe was TOO salty. They promised us recipes and class pictures. We got the recipes and I have no idea whose pictures they sent but it’s not us. We were supposed to get limoncello as part of the experience and they said they were out of limoncello. Are you kidding ? In Italy ? And they knew we were having the class so they should have been prepared.

Our pasta experience

samantha_e, Jan 2023

This was the very first thing we did when we arrived in Rome. The teacher, Jessica, was great! Super knowledgeable, fun, helpful, and a joy to learn from. The end result was more than I was expecting quantity wise. Us Americans are accustomed to eating pasta with a protein but it honestly was perfect without it!
