Make fresh pasta, prepare a seasonal Roman fried specialty, and taste local treats during a hands-on class in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto.

About this tour

Step into Rome’s Jewish Ghetto for a hands-on taste of the city’s home cooking. In this 150-minute Rome Pasta Cooking Class, a professional chef shares the traditions and stories behind Roman dishes in the atmospheric Piazza Mattei neighborhood.

Learn to make fresh pasta from scratch, then prepare seasonal vegetables for fritto romano, a crisp fried specialty that may feature artichokes or zucchini flowers. The experience ends around the table with homemade pasta, Italian wine and water, and torta di ricotta e visciole, a beloved ricotta tart. Kitchen equipment, a cotton apron, and a cookbook are provided, so you can take a little inspiration home.

Along the way, hear about the history and food culture of the Jewish district. This Rome Pasta Cooking Class welcomes children, vegetarians, and vegan guests, though special dietary requirements cannot be guaranteed and the class is not kosher. Meet your guide outside La Taverna restaurant in Piazza Mattei, and come ready to cook, taste, and discover a flavorful corner of Rome.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 56 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 8.1. Top 12% in Rome means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in Rome by this score.
