Fun and delicious!
One of the best meals we ate in Rome was the one we prepared with Davide at InRome Cooking. This class was a really fun way to spend an afternoon. We wandered around the Campo di Fiori for a bit buying ingredients for our gnocchi and parmigiana and then headed back to InRome Cooking where everything was ready for us to get started. The parmigiana was fun to learn to make, and I'm still hoping I can replicate the gnocchi at home sometime. The sauce we made for the gnocchi was amazing (some sort of wine, sausage and mushroom concoction). We also prepared panna cotta. When the cooking was done, we sat down to the delicious meal we had prepared with Davide, beautifully presented, including wine. The facilities were nice - they had a couple of kitchen areas. One was quite large for bigger groups. Our class was tiny (I guess most people want to take the pizza/pasta class), so we were in a smaller kitchen. It was not hot, even in mid-July, so I think they must have some sort of air conditioning. And everything was super clean and orderly. We definitely loved our cooking class and would be happy to take another class from InRome Cooking should we return to Rome in the future.

Excellent, fun and relaxed
We loved shopping for our own recipe with our cook Daniele. He was kind, helpful, clear and understanding. The class was well prepared, we were not in a rush and the food was delicious. Quantities were abundant (we were in 2 but made parmigiana for 6 and panda cotta for 4!) The school is beautiful, big spaces lots of light and nice people. I suggest it to anybody!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hands - on Pasta Making and Gelato Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
