History
Rome, the heart of Italian culture, has been a culinary epicenter for over two millennia, with pasta as a cornerstone of its gastronomic heritage. The art of pasta-making, rooted in ancient Roman traditions, evolved through centuries of regional influences, from simple flour-and-water doughs to the egg-based pastas of central Italy. Dishes like ravioli, tortellini, and fettuccine reflect Italy’s knack for transforming basic ingredients into culinary masterpieces, often paired with time-honored sauces like pommarola.
The Eternal City’s vibrant food scene, enriched by local farms and vineyards, celebrates community and tradition, especially during festive times like the Jubilee. This pasta-making class in Rome’s historic center continues this legacy, teaching the craft of handmade pasta while embracing Italy’s spirit of conviviality, complete with organic Tuscan wine and limoncello, a nod to the country’s enduring love for shared meals and local flavors.
