In Rome, a passionate Roman chef will guide you through the techniques behind three iconic sauces: Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana and Carbonara. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, you’ll learn methods passed down through generations and uncover the simple secrets that give each sauce its distinctive flavour. As you move through the hands-on session, you’ll prepare the pasta dishes yourself under expert guidance.

After cooking, you’ll sit down to a tasting of the dishes paired with specially selected local wines, and finish with a traditional Roman dessert. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free adaptations are available for all recipes, so everyone can take part. The setting aims for a warm, authentic atmosphere—like being welcomed into a Roman home—and you’ll leave with insider culinary knowledge, cherished memories and the recipes to recreate the meals at home.
