Pasta & Pizza Making on the ancient Appian Way

Via di Vigna Murata, Roma, Lazio

Description

The team behind "Once in Rome" offers various cooking classes with different Italian specialities. The class reviewed here is for Pasta and Pizza making. During the 3h class, customer will learn to prepare 3 types of dough (pasta with eggs, pizza and pasta with water), how to shape at least 10 types of pasta, and prepare 2 pasta dishes with sauce. Dessert will be tiramisu from Chef Giuseppe himself and the meals will be complemented by some wine and limoncello tasting.

Access & Transport

Pick up is at the Laurentina metro station (B, B1) and customers will be dropped off there at the end of the class The venue is at the Rome Pizza and Pasta school which is located just off the Ancient Appian Way (Via Appia Antica).

Instructions & Recommendations

Space is limited so make sure you book in advance to ensure availability on the date that works best. The minimum age is 5 years old.

Meta review

After discounting most of the online reviews as (obvious) fake, the overall impression from customers is that the class is quite fun but not very hands-on, which was a little disappointing for some. The remote location is also an issue and the wine quality isn't described with positive adjectives.

Environmental & Social

Environmentally neutral and supports small, independent operators.

Conclusion

The pasta & pizza making class offered by Once in Rome is the opportunity to try your hand at shaping those staples of Italian cooking and understanding how they are made whilst interacting with the chefs and a handful of other customers. Do not however expect to be able to replicate the same after the class so this is not an option for those looking to really learn cooking techniques in depth.
