Trastevere: food walk and pasta-making

A three-hour, hands-on food experience that combines neighbourhood tastings, pasta-making and a relaxed sit-down finish — a more sociable alternative to another museum afternoon.

The experience

A Trastevere food walk that finishes with pasta you have made yourself.

This is a sociable three-hour route through Trastevere rather than a restaurant reservation with a demonstration attached. It begins by gathering ingredients and tasting porchetta, then moves into a local trattoria for fresh pasta-making and a relaxed meal.

The class covers fettuccine and ravioli before the group sits down to eat, with wine for adults and non-alcoholic alternatives available. A gelato stop completes the route, so it works particularly well on a first or second evening when food should also introduce a neighbourhood.

Stops and tastings can shift with season and availability, but the structure — food walk, pasta-making, shared meal and gelato — remains the point of the experience.
