Guidekin's take

A pasta class on Piazza Mattei in the Jewish Ghetto with a chef who learned at her grandmother's side, ending with your pasta, a seasonal fried specialty and the Ghetto's ricotta and sour cherry tart, with wine and a cotton apron to keep.

Class, dinner, wine, apron and a cookbook are included at €87 per person, pickup is not. Not a kosher class.

In our comparison: #119 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
