Under the expert guidance of a local professional, you will move beyond simple recipes to discover the soul and history behind these famous desserts, all while working with fresh, high-quality ingredients in a warm and welcoming environment.

The session begins with the creation of a perfect Tiramisù, where you will learn to bake delicate savoiardi ladyfingers from scratch.

The experience continues with the preparation of crunchy almond biscotti and other buttery treats, perfect for pairing with coffee or wine, while you learn the fascinating stories behind these traditional Italian baking techniques.

As your desserts cool, the experience concludes with a delightful Roman-style aperitivo. You will enjoy local wine or coffee while engaging in lively conversation around the table, celebrating the fruits of your labor. This class is designed for anyone who loves food and culture, providing a unique opportunity to connect with Italian traditions in an intimate setting. It is a perfect way to spend an afternoon in Rome, learning skills that will impress your friends and family back home.
