Authentic Roman Pizza & Pasta Making with Once in Rome

Situated in the heart of the Lazio region at Via Andrea Aradas, 13, 00134 Roma RM, Italy, Once in Rome invites food enthusiasts to step beyond the tourist tracks and immerse themselves in the hands-on craft of classic Italian cooking. This private Pizza & Pasta Making experience unlocks more than just recipes; it taps into centuries-old culinary techniques anchored in the culture and histories of Rome.

This three-hour session is held within an intimate chef’s house, creating an inviting atmosphere where small groups—from families to friends—can bond over food. The adventure begins with mastering the art of kneading and shaping dough using Neapolitan tradition, working with wood-fired ovens that bring ancient pizza baking to life. Participants learn to make at least eight distinct pasta shapes, a tactile lesson in regional diversity, before preparing iconic sauces like Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Pesto, balancing flavor and texture to perfection.

But what sets this experience apart is the thoughtful pairing of these dishes with fine Italian DOC wines, deepening the sensory journey while enjoying a shared three-course meal topped off with homemade tiramisu. This isn’t merely a meal; it’s an entry into Roman daily life and gastronomy.

For travelers eager to dive into authentic Roman culture, Once in Rome provides a rare chance too many culinary tours miss: privacy, professionalism, and a personal touch delivered by passionate culinary educators.
