Fresh Pasta Making & Unlimited Prosecco in London

A Fun, Tasty Twist on London’s Food Scene
This Fresh Pasta Making & Unlimited Prosecco experience offers a delightful way to spend a couple of hours in central London. For around $94, you’ll join a small group—usually booked 33 days in advance—at the Pasta Academy near Farringdon. Led by lively Italian chefs from Pasta Evangelists, it’s a hands-on class that combines culinary skills, culture, and plenty of bubbly. From antipasti on arrival to your own freshly made pasta, the experience is designed to be both entertaining and delicious. The intimate group size (max of four travelers) makes for a relaxed, personalized atmosphere—perfect if you’re looking for a memorable foodie activity.

What I really like about this experience is how knowledgeable guides like Chef Rosi make the class accessible and fun—”she was brilliant, friendly, and approachable,” say happy participants. Plus, the unlimited Prosecco adds a festive touch, keeping spirits high as you learn to make pasta from scratch. The class is relaxed enough for beginners but still rewarding for those with some kitchen experience. The fact that your own pasta is cooked and served with a luxurious sauce at the end makes this a complete, satisfying meal—something many reviews highlight as a major plus.

The only potential downside? Since it’s a relatively short, two-hour class with a fixed schedule, it might not suit those seeking a more extensive culinary course or a lengthy experience. Also, note that this is a non-refundable experience, so if your travel plans change unexpectedly, you’ll need to be sure before booking. Nonetheless, for its value and authentic charm, this pasta class delivers an engaging glimpse into Italian cuisine in a friendly setting.

Exploring the Pasta Academy’s London Experience

Jumping into a pasta-making class in London might sound a bit touristy, but this experience truly hits the mark for anyone who enjoys good food, good company, and a bit of bubbly. Starting with a hearty antipasti spread—including focaccia, mozzarella di bufala, and fresh tomatoes—you’re welcomed warmly and set at ease for what’s to come.

The core of the experience is the two-hour hands-on pasta lesson. Led by a masterful chef—often described as hilarious and approachable like Alex or Rosi—you’ll be guided through the process of making pasta by hand, whether it’s pasta bianca (flour and water) or pasta all’uovo (egg-based). The shape options vary based on the chef’s choice but include favorites like tagliatelle, malloreddus, or even tortellini—making it adaptable and interesting for different tastes.

Throughout the class, you’ll learn about the tradition behind each technique and the history of pasta in Italy, which the guides enthusiastically share. The skill level is beginner-friendly, yet you’ll leave with enough know-how to replicate your new favorite pasta dish at home. The real pleasure comes at the end when your pasta, cooked to perfection, is served with a sauce from Pasta Evangelists’ kitchen, allowing you to enjoy the fruits of your labor in a convivial setting.

Participants often mention how helpful and encouraging the guides are. “Alex made sure we were successful,” one reviewer writes, highlighting the hands-on nature of the class. The unlimited Prosecco, or soft drinks if preferred, keeps the mood lively, making this class feel more like a fun evening with friends than a formal cooking lesson.

Location and Accessibility

The classroom is conveniently located in central London, just a short walk from Barbican Underground and across from the Farringdon Elizabeth line station. This makes it an easy addition to a day of sightseeing or a pre-dinner activity. The venue itself is cozy, well-equipped, and designed to keep the atmosphere relaxed and engaging.

Most reviews note that the location is ideal, especially for those staying in central London or looking for a quick, enjoyable activity without the hassle of long travel. The experience’s mobile ticket makes check-in straightforward, and the small group size ensures plenty of space for everyone to participate actively.

What’s Included & What to Keep in Mind

Your ticket covers all ingredients, pasta-making tools, and an apron to keep you looking fresh. Plus, you’re served complimentary antipasti, which sets a delicious tone. The highlight, of course, is the gelato-style communal meal with your own pasta—an experience that many reviewers find surprisingly satisfying.

The unlimited Prosecco (or soft drinks) is a key feature, making this a lively social occasion. Note that alcohol is only served to guests aged 18 and over. If you have dietary restrictions, the team is accommodating—just let them know when you arrive.

One important factor to remember is that this is a non-refundable booking, so if you need to change plans, you’ll need to arrange for another date or risk losing your fee. Plus, because this experience is booked in advance (on average 33 days), it’s wise to plan ahead, especially if visiting during peak times.
