Cooking class experience

A very fun and educational italian cooking experience. We learned a lot and felt inspired to buy our own pasta‑making machine so we can keep experimenting with the recipes at home. Everything is well organized, the instructor is friendly and highly skilled. And the results are veeeery delicious!

Best cooking class in Rome

Ancient Mosaic Workshop in Rome

Stephen_J, Jul 2026

Perfect for Solo Travelers

This was such a fun and unique experience! The class gave me a great appreciation for the time, skill, and patience that goes into creating mosaic art. It was definitely challenging, but that’s what made it so rewarding. Giulia and Alex were both incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the class. As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something creative to do. It’s also a great way to ease the anxiety that can sometimes come with traveling alone. I was pretty happy with my first mosaic, and I already know I’ll be booking this class again the next time I’m in Rome!

Chef Andrea made this quite a fun and relaxing experience. He was a great instructor and gave off great energy. You make both the tiramisu and pizza from scratch in the kitchen, and then get to enjoy your creations along with wine in the dining room. Everything was delicious.

Fun Night of Cooking

We really enjoyed our cooking class in Rome. The pasta was delicious, the accompanying wine was lovely, and our chef Eugenio was friendly and engaging. It was a fun addition to our Italian holiday. The recipes were delicious - might try to recreate them at home (yet somehow I know it won't be as good). We were a party of three, as we were traveling with our daughter who just graduated high school, so we were paired with another family and it was great. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful experience in Rome!

What a great night thanks to Jem! I’m a terrible cook and Jem made it a fun and informative experience. Pasta was delicious and sitting at table with other travelers was a great way to finish the class. Very generous servings of pasta and lots of spritzes too. Highly recommended and hopefully you get Jem as your cook and Z as host!

This activity is way out of the way but was a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed seeing more of a woodsy/country section of Rome and that class was fun and informative (and yummy). Highly recommend. Just be sure you are aware of the distance. They offer a free van which is useful if you want to take the metro to the pickup area, or happen to be near that area.

Rome Pizza or Pasta Cooking Class Gelato Tasting & Unlimited Wine

Whitley_M, Jun 2026

Must book! Wonderful!

What a fantastic experience from beginning to end! We booked the pizza and gelato-making class as part of my daughter’s birthday celebration, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our instructor was absolutely wonderful. She made my daughter feel incredibly special on her birthday with thoughtful moments of attention throughout the class, while still ensuring that every participant felt included and engaged. It was the perfect balance—my daughter felt celebrated without taking away from anyone else’s experience. Before we even started cooking, our instructor shared fascinating history about Italian cuisine and how it connects to the local culture and traditions. I loved how she wove those stories into the cooking process, giving us a deeper appreciation for the food we were creating. This class was a hit with our entire multi-generational group. From the seniors in our family to the kids, everyone was engaged, laughing, learning, and having fun. The energy stayed high the entire time, and it was obvious that our instructor is truly passionate about what she does. We made pizza dough completely from scratch, learned helpful tips and techniques, and customized our pizzas with our favorite toppings. During the gelato-making portion, several participants—including some of the children—were invited to help stir the gelato while learning about its history and preparation. Those hands-on moments made the experience even more memorable. The class was informative, interactive, and incredibly fun. We left with full stomachs, new skills, wonderful memories, and a deeper appreciation for Italian food and culture. I highly recommend this experience to families, couples, groups of friends, and travelers of all ages. If I am ever back in the area, I would absolutely book this class again with the same instructor. She and her team provided the perfect ending to our trip and helped create birthday memories that my daughter will never forget.

Rome Candlelight Wine and Dine in Ancient Ruins Near the Pantheon

Steven_W, Jun 2026

Unforgettable dining experience.

This was an intimate experience with only 6 guests the night we went. The experience delivered on every expectation, and Lisa was a wonderful host. We were served four wine-paired courses of traditional Roman food, well prepared and nicely presented. The venue was in the excavated remains of a Roman bath underneath a local restaurant, and the space was charming. We had our adult children with us, but this would be an unforgettable date-night experience in Rome.

Amazing Unique Experience

Wear good shoes as they will need to have good treads since you’ll be in the mountains on hills. Some folks did slip because it recently rained. Other than that, this was our highlight of our Rome trip. It was so much fun and the dogs were adorable. To top it off, the lunch was amazing!!!
