- Corso S. Giuseppe Calasanzio, 21 - Hosts Paolo and Simone have mastered the art of wine-making, pasta crafting from scratch, and preparing delightful local dishes, all thanks to their Nonna. Visitors will experience the charm of this town, steeped in history from Roman times. A short stroll leads to a stunning wine cellar where the hosts will present wines from the family vineyard, including Frascati Superiore D.O.C.G. (don’t worry, the meaning of these initials will be explained!) and Vagnolo. After sampling each wine with traditional appetizers, the pasta-making adventure begins! The chef will guide participants in creating authentic homemade pasta, so be prepared to get hands-on! Once the pasta is mixed and rolled, a delightful decision awaits: which Roman-style dish to prepare? Choose from three classic recipes: Carbonara, Amatriciana, or Cacio e Pepe, and let the chef assist in mastering the basics. The grand finale? Buon Appetito! Enjoy the pasta while engaging in conversation with fellow guests for as long as desired. After dinner, there will be an opportunity to explore the “caves” beneath the wine cellar.

Great experience - The experience was simply great! There were no additional costs except if you were getting to Frascatti from Rome you would need to catcha very affordable train. The length of the experienced was well timed and not delayed do afterwards we have time to browse the city a bit. Atmosphere was very open and friendly, good for creativity to flow. You will be in a pack of 12 people per session so it was very pleasant. Staff is super nice and helpfull. We were here as a part of our bachelorrete party.

The Best Pasta Experience of Our Lives - This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Nico welcomed us into his hometown and took us on a fascinating walking tour, sharing its history from the train station all the way to his family’s home, which has been in their family for generations.
We learned about their family’s winemaking tradition and even explored the incredible underground tunnel system beneath the houses, where wine was once stored in ancient cellars. It was such a unique and authentic experience.
The pasta-making class was fantastic. Nico and his cousin were warm, patient, and passionate teachers. We learned how to make four different types of fresh pasta and chose from four delicious sauces to pair with them.
The meal at the end was simply unforgettable. With fresh truffle added on top, it was undoubtedly the best pasta I’ve ever had.
If you’re looking for a genuine, family-run Italian experience that combines history, culture, incredible food, and wonderful hospitality, I couldn’t recommend this experience more. Thank you, Nico and your family, for making our honeymoon so memorable! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Great experience!! - Great experience. We learned about 2 local white wines and pasta making. The guides were great and gave us clear explanations how to make pasta from scratch including 3 different sauces. They cooked our own pasta and enjoyed it with the local wines. Just great. Highly recommended if you enjoy pasta and wine tasting. Frascati is also very charming to get a bit away from the busy Rome.

Great host, pasta and wine in a lovely place - We did this pasta making class in June 2026 and loved it. The host was really knowledgeable and friendly and the pasta we made was delicious. The wine provided from their family vineyard was also great. It was really easy to get to and from Frascati and it was a lovely break from the crowds and heat of Rome. This class is really good value for money and we would definitely recommend it!

A highlight of my trip to Rome! - This was a highlight of my trip! I was solo traveling for a few days and wanted something low-key social. I had a great group - 10 Americans of all age ranges. Several of us even went out afterwards together. The instructor (Simone) was amazing. We got a little tour of the town on our walk to the restaurant and also got to explore the family’s bomb shelter / prior winemaking cellar. The experience comes with two 1/2 glasses of wines from the family’s vineyard for tasting, and you can purchase wine by the glass or bottle as well. It was great wine, one DOC and one DOCG.
I only wish I’d taken an earlier train to spend some time in the town - it was really cute and a nice change from the crowds in Rome.
Super highly recommend this experience! The family nature of it made it feel extra special.
