The class is held in a working restaurant in Prati, the neighbourhood next to the Vatican where Romans live and eat. A chef takes the group through two things Italians make at home: fresh egg pasta, kneaded, rolled and cut by hand, and tiramisù, the coffee-soaked dessert with mascarpone and cocoa that every family in Italy argues about.

You work at the table, the chef works the room. While the tiramisù sets, the pasta cooks; then everyone sits down to eat what they made, with free-flowing wine and prosecco, unlimited soft drinks and water, and the recipes to take home. The class runs two and a half to three hours, in English, with a private version for groups who want the table to themselves.

The price, from 24.50 euros, is low enough to make people suspicious, and the reviews answer them: about 8,800 of them, rated 4.9, with the chefs scored 4.9 and the value 4.8. An Italian guest wrote that the recipes are the real, traditional ones.

Why this one

Rome has dozens of cooking classes on GetYourGuide. This one has more reviews than almost all of them, one of the best ratings, and a price below most. It is honest about what it is: a group class in a restaurant, with wine, not a private lesson in a nonna's kitchen.

If you want that, book a private class or a market tour with cooking, at three or four times the price. If you want an evening of making pasta badly, then well, with a glass in your hand and strangers who are friends by the tiramisù, book this.

What guests keep saying

Recurring themes in the tour’s reviews, in our words, never quoted.

Praised

Chefs who are funny and patient with beginners
Recipes an Italian guest vouched for as the real thing
More food and drink than the price suggests

Complaints

Bigger groups than a "class" suggests: it is a fun evening rather than a lesson

The catch

Traditional means gluten, dairy and eggs
Vegetarian, vegan and lactose-free diets are catered for with substitutes if you say so when you book, but the class teaches the traditional recipes, and the operator cannot promise freedom from cross-contamination for severe allergies.
What to do. Put any diet in the booking notes, and think twice with a serious allergy.
The meeting point depends on the option
The class is near the Vatican, and the exact restaurant depends on the time and option you choose. It is in your confirmation, not on the listing.
What to do. Check the address in the confirmation the night before.
Wine from the morning class too
The free-flowing wine and prosecco are poured at the morning sessions as well, and guests mention it.
What to do. Take the evening class if you plan to sightsee afterwards.
