Rome: the land of ruins, romance, and ravioli. If you're heading to the Eternal City and dreaming of stuffing your face andyour suitcase (with recipes, of course), then buckle up, because we’ve found six mouthwatering cooking classes that will have you tossing dough, sipping wine, and wondering why you ever bought jarred sauce.
Here’s how to become a pasta pro and pizza Picasso — all in between sightseeing and gelato breaks.
This is not your local “pizza night.” This is Roman-style “teglia” pizza, focaccia, and crispy fried supplì (aka rice balls of the gods) — all made with your own two hands.
You’ll be greeted like Italian royalty with prosecco, cheese, and cured meats (yes, please) and taught by a former MasterChef Italia contestant. After your culinary masterpieces are devoured, you’ll cap things off with Nutella-filled dough pockets and a toast of limoncello.
✅ Pizza, supplì, and Nutella
✅ Max 6 people (so your pizza doesn’t get judged by a crowd)
✅ Wine and limoncello make your dough-tossing extra confident
You’ll roll, knead, and sip your way through this delightful hands-on experience in LivTours’ sparkling new kitchen. Learn to make fresh pasta and assemble the most luscious tiramisù since Nonna started handing out dessert spoons.
Add wine, laughter, and your new life plan to quit your job and open a trattoria.
✅ MasterChef vibes
✅ Fettuccine and tiramisù = true love
✅ Semi-private = just you and five other fellow foodies
It starts at Europe’s largest covered market — Mercato Trionfale — where you’ll forage (OK, shop) for the freshest ingredients with your chef-guide. Then, it's time to whip up dreamy, pillowy gnocchi from scratch in a gorgeous modern kitchen.
Prosecco? Check. Wine? Obviously. Cookies and sweet wine for dessert? Yes, chef.
✅ Market tour = feel like a local
✅ Gnocchi from scratch = satisfaction in every forkful
✅ Leave with a recipe booklet and maybe a new best friend
If you’d rather keep the tomato-sauce splatter to your inner circle, this private pizza-making class is for you. You’ll knead dough, roll out focaccia, and fry up those famous Roman supplì — all with one-on-one guidance from a MasterChef Italiaalum.
Of course, you’ll also toast your brilliance with wine and limoncello, because you’re classy like that.
✅ It’s just you, your people, and a pile of flour
✅ Perfect for families, friend groups, or anyone with a pizza obsession
✅ Did we mention Nutella-stuffed dessert?
Want to feel like you're on your own cooking show, minus the time crunch and shouting judges? Book this private class and enjoy exclusive use of LivTours’ luxury kitchen with your own MasterChef instructor.
You’ll make silky fettuccine from scratch, stir up Alfredo sauce the real Roman way (hint: no cream), and whip together a tiramisù that may ruin all others for you.
✅ Totally private = all eyes on your pasta
✅ Includes wine, limoncello, and bragging right
s✅ Great for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or finally taking that PTO
This is the private version of the gnocchi + market extravaganza. It’s one of the most immersive (and delicious) experiences in Rome — you’ll stroll the bustling Mercato Trionfale with your chef, shop for fresh ingredients, then cook your gnocchi in a sleek, modern kitchen built for pasta dreams.
Finish your experience with cookies and sweet vin santo, and prepare to be applauded by your tastebuds.
✅ Shop, cook, eat, repeat
✅ Gnocchi = bite-sized pillows of joy
✅ Private and oh-so-fancy (but not too fancy to lick the sauce spoon)
Final Thoughts: Come Hungry. Leave Fluent… in Pasta.
Whether you’re a family looking to mix up your sightseeing with a sprinkle of flour, a couple seeking a saucy date night, or you’ve just always wanted to yell “Mangia!” unironically, these cooking classes deliver the goods.
Come for the carbs, stay for the wine, and leave with the skills to turn your own kitchen into a little slice of Rome.
