Rome spritz and pasta class near Piazza Navona: make your own Aperol spritz, hand-cut fettuccine and maltagliati, then eat wine and tiramisu.
“This is a great activity for the family. We went with kids ages 6, 10, 13 and had a great time. Took up a big chunk of the day (much more than I thought) so cost wise it was well worth it. The instructor had a great personality and is great with the kids. The price also includes the meal you make, so a plus. While I still think it’s a great bang for your buck and I recommend as a family activity - don’t expect a great meal lol not because you cooked it, but because the sauces you choose from are all watery and not authentic. The “free”…”
