Guidekin's take

A small group pasta class a few steps from the Vatican Museums, with a local chef who mixes recipes with the history of Italian cooking and a lunch of what you made with wine, rated 4.93 across 46 reviews.

Class, lunch, wine and a recipe booklet are included at €80 per person. Handy for the morning after a Vatican visit.
