Walk past Rome’s iconic sights, make fresh pasta with an experienced chef, then enjoy a three-course meal and take home the recipes.

About this tour

Turn Rome’s historic streets into the prelude to a memorable meal. This experience pairs a guided walk past landmarks such as the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and Campo de’ Fiori with a hands-on cooking class led by an experienced chef.

At the class, roll and shape fresh pasta by hand, then watch the chef demonstrate how to prepare the sauces. The workshop is usually held in a restaurant, though smaller groups or guests who request it may meet at the chef’s home. Sit down to enjoy a three-course meal, served as lunch or dinner, and take home the recipes so you can recreate the dishes for friends and family.

Meet at the third palm tree in Piazza di Spagna, near the Spanish Steps and Spagna metro entrance. Dessert preparation is explained rather than made from scratch; a separate class with hands-on dessert making is available for an additional charge. Join this Rome Cooking Class to explore the city, learn a practical skill, and savor the results.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.95 from 80 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.7.
