Reviews for Pasta Making & Wine Tasting With Dinner In Frascati From Rome
The perfect ending to my trip to Rome

I was on holiday in Rome and decided to try something different on the last day. I booked the pasta making session with From Scratch, and I can honestly say that this was the highlight of my entire trip (Rome included).
I joined in with the afternoon class after the rest of my morning group cancelled at short notice. The host, Irene, made sure I wasn't left out as we ventured into the city for coffee and a 1-to-1 tour of Frascati! The pasta making class itself was superb - we had a friendly group of around 15 people and had great laughs as we created our pasta, explored the wine cellar, and tasted some delicious wines.
I count myself incredibly lucky that I found this experience!
Making pasta and meeting fun people!

My wife and I arrived early and we were offered a fresh cup of espresso, very welcoming! Our tour "chef" was Nico and he expertly guided us through the pasta making experience. I never believed I could make pasta, but I did! We tasted some wines, enjoyed the company of the other participants, shared wine with the others as we made our pasta. Our group of pasta makers had people from all over the world. What a treat that was for me and my wife. To finish we cooked our pasta, chose a sauce and ate a hearty homemade pasta meal! Great value for the money. Would I do this again.... absolutely yes, sign me up!
P.S. Frascati is a great town to explore. Plan on spending time after the class to wander around town. You will not be disappointed.
Seen what you want in Rome? Ok, now give Frascati a look. Or just give Frascati a look anyway through this tour.

There are many cooking classes in Rome, but not too many that take you outside of it. This one does. From the moment on that train ride that city buildings gave way to aqueducts then vineyard-filled countryside, you knew you were in something special... and this wasn't even the class yet. Meeting with fellow students and our tour guide (in this case, Nico) really set things off. Nico gave us a primer on Frascati, the Castelli Romani, and how the remains of an old volcano shaped the area and its people. You could tell he was really enthusiastic about the class, his hometown and he was the type of person you could easily pick his brain for more details. Once we got to the class site, we got a quick introduction into Frascati's wines and the different grapes that go into them as well as the pride people there have in them. Pasta making was fun, but even better was just getting to see the actual cooking of our kneaded, hand-rolled work, as well as preparing sauces. Getting to see the cellars was just icing on the cake. The next time I am back to visit Frascati, I hope to take friends and family members along for this class, as I would repeat it just to see what new things I could learn about pasta, wines, and the Frascati region.
Fun activity, good value!

Fun activity to get us out and away from the heat and crowds of Rome! Learned some history of Frascati and how to make a simple pasta!
A truly awesome experience

This was a complete spur of the moment experience. My daughter and I booked it one hour and thirty minutes before it was due to start. A quick taxi ride and scenic train journey later, we were met by our lovely host at the train station.
From the minute we arrived our host was engaging, informative and funny. We were told the town's history and saw the most amazing views of the countryside and further to Rome, from the top of the steps. A short walk later we were at our venue.
We had wine tasting (their own wine, which was amazing,) with cheese, wine and pastrami to accompany it. Then we got down to making the pasta. Our host was very informative and helpful when needed. I was actually surprised how easy it was to make the pasta.
After that we had a look at the cellar underneath, where the wine used to be fermented and some further history of how the cellars were previously used.
Next, we cooked our pasta, which is so unbelievably easy to do. Finally, the best part was eating the pasta which we had made ourselves. It was truly an amazing experience!
There were people from five different continents of varying ages, so the talk around the table whilst we were eating and drinking was very diverse.
I would 100% recommend this experience.
