Private class: pasta and 3 spritz
The most expensive option, and the only fully private one: you make Roman pasta and three spritz with a host from Carpe Diem Tours, just for your group. The displayed price is about $933 for a group of up to four, so the price per person depends on how many of you there are. Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 33 reviews. Not suitable for under-18s. See the offer.
Fresh pasta, wine and gelato in Trastevere
A 3-hour class with a chef: two pastas (fettuccine and ravioli according to the page), sauces, prosecco, unlimited wine and gelato. From about $64, 4.9 out of 5 from over 900 reviews. Reviews praise the atmosphere and patient instructors. The format can also be private or small-group. The page warns it may sell out. See the offer.
Spritz and spaghetti
A 3-hour class from Carpe Diem Tours, in a shared or private group: you make Roman pasta and spritzes. From about $104 per person (the page shows a crossed-out $116 rate), 4.9 out of 5 from nearly 400 reviews. More festive than studious. See the offer.
Pasta and tiramisu near the Vatican
The big classic: a class in a local restaurant, about 2 h 30 to 3 hours, in English, with pasta, tiramisu and wine. From €49, 4.9 out of 5 from over 8,600 reviews, and a private option is offered. The best balance of price, rating and review count among the group classes. Convenient after the Vatican Museums. See the offer.
Pizza and pasta with wine and transfer
A 2 h 30 class at a countryside cooking school, away from the centre, with wood-fired pizza and pasta, unlimited wine, tiramisu, limoncello and a round-trip transfer. From about $59 (a crossed-out $75 rate), 4.6 out of 5 from over 1,600 reviews. A private option exists. Allow for the transfer time and the fact that you leave the centre. See the offer.

Booking at the right time
Book ahead for weekends and summer. A midday class replaces lunch; avoid the day of a flight or a timed visit (see tickets to book in Rome). To go further: what to eat in Rome and Rome's markets.
