Learn to prepare the four iconic Roman pasta dishes the authentic Italian way — guided step by step by a local chef in a private, hands-on cooking class in Rome.

After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy a full Roman meal featuring everything you’ve prepared, paired with local wine and shared around the table. Along the way, you’ll discover the stories, techniques, and traditions behind Rome’s most beloved recipes. It’s a memorable way to experience the city from the inside — and take home the best souvenir of all: the confidence to recreate authentic Roman pasta and tiramisù for family and friends.

The Local Aromas Guestbook

My husband and I took a cooking class and learned to make the 4 Roman pastas, as well as Tiramisu. Chef Carla was wonderful, and immediately made us feel welcome in her home. She gave us an overview of everything we would be doing, and explained it all step by step and we prepared our amazing meal. The only complaint might be that we were stuffed by the end! And that's not actually a complaint at all. Oh my gosh, the four Roman pastas are simple, yet delicious. The tiramisu was so much easier to make that I could have imagined, and yet it was just heavenly. Chef Carla was absolutely delightful. She was knowledgeable about her craft, as I would expect. She was approachable and friendly. We loved chatting with her, she has a great sense of humor. The class was worth every penny and I would 100% recommend the class. If we ever get back to Italy, we will definitely be taking more cooking classes with Local Aromas.

Our cooking class was so special! We took the 4 Roman Pastas class. Our instructor welcomed my husband and me into her beautiful home. It was such an enjoyable evening and was a highlight of our trip! The food was delicious, and we have already made two of the pasta recipes at home. We are so happy that we booked this and would love to take another class the next time we're in Rome. We can’t recommend the class enough!!

Jane

We had an amazing time with Chef Cristina during our Local Aromas - Four Roman Pastas “Master” Class last night. She taught us how to prepare and cook Cacio Pepe, Gricia, Amitriciana, and Carbonara at her private villa. Cristina’s home was peaceful and rejuvenating as we wined and dined on our home made deliciousness. We will be chasing these flavors for the rest of our lives. So surreal we still can’t believe it happened! Thank you so much Cristina and also thank you Benny and Val for a night we will never forget. Hoping to meet you in person 😉.

Great experience! Christine welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make pasta, sauces and tiramisu! We just tried our hand at making the Amatriciana at home and it turned out amazing! Highly recommend!

Dawn

We had such a wonderful evening cooking the four Roman pastas with Cristina. She graciously opened her home and fabulous garden to us. The experience was so much more than I had anticipated! It was a perfect addition to our Italian adventure. Fantastico!
