Guidekin's take

One of the few classes that teaches a sauce as well as the pasta: fresh pesto made by hand alongside fettuccine in a restaurant's cooking lab on Piazza Navona, eaten with bruschetta and a glass of wine or beer, rated 4.96 across 82 reviews.

Class, meal and drinks are included at €42 per person. Not for nut allergies, gluten intolerance or vegans.

In our comparison: #88 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
