About this activity
An adults-only Trastevere cooking class where you make pasta, taste real Roman pizza, and learn to mix an Aperol Spritz like a local.

- Shape pasta from scratch with a Roman guide who grew up making it
- Spend the night in a small, adults-only class built for grown-ups
- Pick up the real technique behind a proper Aperol Spritz
- Bite into a true Roman-style pizza al taglio between courses, and a tiramisu to finish the night
- Go home with a printed recipe pack to cook the whole menu again
Full description
As the sun sets over Trastevere's cobblestones, join an evening built entirely around grown-up fun: roll and shape pasta from scratch, learn the technique behind a proper Roman pizza al taglio, and pick up the moves behind mixing an Aperol Spritz the way locals actually pour it, no measuring, just instinct. Enjoy your own creations while prosecco flows throughout, and a classic tiramisu rounds out the night.
This is a small, adults-only class, so expect real conversation, plenty of hands-on time at the table, and a guide who's happy to go off-script with stories about growing up in these kitchens. It's the kind of evening built for a date night, a girls' night, or a group of friends who want their pasta lesson to come with a side of cocktails.
Everyone walks away with a printed recipe pack to recreate the whole spread at home. Dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.

Reviews
We enjoyed the tour which gave us some great tastes in the company of fellow travellers. Would have liked to the choice of wines to be more local, rather than, for example, Chianti, and Chardonnay was offered at two stops. Otherwise recommended as a way to explore some regional foods.
Amanda was an amazing guide, and I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Her knowledge of Portuguese history was incredibly thorough, and you could tell how much she genuinely enjoys her profession and sharing her culture with visitors. She was also extremely helpful in answering questions about Lisbon, from recommending great restaurants to explaining the best ways to navigate the city. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the salted cod and the dessert at the end. There is plenty to eat, so definitely arrive hungry, but remember to stay hydrated. One practical tip: wear comfortable, supportive footwear because Lisbon has many hills, steps, and cobblestone streets. If your accommodation says the meeting point is a 20 minute walk away, consider allowing twice that amount of time in case you need to stop and rest along the way. Amanda was fantastic, the food was excellent, and I would absolutely take this tour again!
Excellent! We learned a lot about both the food and culture of Denmark. Mark was a fantastic host.
