Fresh Pasta & Gelato Cooking Class in Central Rome

Get hands-on with fresh pasta in a modern cooking school inside Rome’s historic Palazzo Colonna. Learn traditional techniques with a professional chef, watch a gelato-making demonstration, and enjoy the meal you’ve made. Prefer to watch rather than cook? The Dinner Show pairs a live cooking demonstration with a seasonal Italian dinner, without a hands-on class.
