Make fresh Roman pasta, taste family-made Frascati wines, and explore a historic cellar on this warm, local escape from Rome.

“Perfect. My wife and two children (ages 9) had a wonderful experience. The town of Frascati is amazing and easy to get to from Rome via commuter train. We came in early and hung around afterwards to enjoy some food and beverage after the pasta making. From Scratch was great from the beginning. They met us at the train station, gave a quick tour of the town along with some history.

“Incredible experience, worth every penny and more! Our guide was so kind and funny, she made us feel right at home and was so passionate and enthusiastic. We learnt so much about Frascati and her family’s history as well as the invaluable skill of pasta making! I thought I knew how to make pasta but this changed the game! The bowl of pasta was HUGE, we tried two wines and we paid 5€ for an extra glass of the delicious red and bought a bottle to take home! Cannot recommend enough.”

“Our cooking glass was in a beautiful market location. During the class you can taste multiple different foods, which all were great. The group size was good - only 10 people, which is a perfect size. I would say it is more a collective cooking class, where everyone gets to do some small part and mainly observe. Food was great, drinks were shared and later we also got the recipes on the email.”

Everything was delicious. Accommodations were made for allergies and dietary preferences. We really enjoyed talking with our classmates over the food we made and some Greek wine. Some of our table mates were already planning a "Greek Night" dinner party when they get home.”
