Rome Tiramisu Class: Hands-On Pasta & Dessert with a Local Chef
A Rome tiramisu class with Rome Local Experience brings you into a warm Roman kitchen to craft Italy’s most beloved dessert and fresh pasta from scratch. Guided by an English-speaking local chef, you’ll whisk, mix and roll your way to a delicious lunch or dinner—perfect for couples, families and food lovers who value authentic, local-led experiences.
As a family-run Rome brand, we curate intimate cooking classes that feel personal and unhurried. Expect thoughtful hospitality, premium ingredients and a relaxed atmosphere that lets you savor every moment.
What you’ll make: fresh pasta and classic tiramisu
You’ll hand-roll a simple, silky pasta—often fettuccine or tagliatelle—then prepare the iconic tiramisu: espresso-dipped ladyfingers layered with velvety mascarpone cream and a final snowfall of cocoa. Along the way you’ll learn the small techniques Roman households love, like resting dough and balancing espresso strength for dessert.
