Rome: Spritz & Spaghetti Cooking Class at Rome Cooking Classes

About Rome: Spritz & Spaghetti Cooking Class

The Spritz and Spaghetti Cooking Class is a three-hour hands-on culinary session held at a centrally located studio in Rome, combining cocktail making with a pasta workshop. The class covers two of Italy's most recognisable food and drink traditions: the aperitivo ritual and fresh pasta preparation. Participants work alongside a bilingual local chef who guides the group through each stage, making the session accessible to complete beginners and more experienced home cooks alike.

The programme opens with a demonstration and hands-on preparation of an Aperol Spritz, one of Italy's most widely recognised aperitivo cocktails. Guests then move into the pasta workshop, learning to make spaghetti from scratch before sitting down to eat what they have prepared. The session closes with a Hugo Spritz and a Limoncello, rounding out a full introduction to the Italian aperitivo tradition.

What to expect

The class runs for three hours and is led by a bilingual chef and host throughout. Guests make and eat their own pasta during the session, and all food and drink is included in the booking, covering the Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, Limoncello, and the pasta meal itself. The studio is at 19 Via Cesare Balbo, a central Rome address within easy reach of the city's main transport links. Note that the venue does not have wheelchair access. Tickets cover the full three-hour session, all ingredients, and the guidance of a local chef.
