A wonderful family experience with Chef Riccardo! 🇮🇹🍝

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience with my husband and my sister! We participated in the Italian cooking class with Chef Riccardo and his team and loved every moment. We learned to prepare several different doughs and a delicious torta caprese. It was very special to get hands-on together, learn, and have fun. Certainly, one of the best memories of our trip to Rome! Thank you very much to Chef Riccardo and the entire team for this experience. We highly recommend it! 🇮🇹🍝🍰

Cooking Class in the Heart of Rome: Pizza and Tiramisu Making

GregWausMH, Oct 2026

Absolute recommendation for a Rome trip

My son and I had a pizza/tiramisu class with Carlotta. Charlotte is not only a good teacher but also a great entertainer. Although we are anything but native speakers in English, my son and I were able to follow her well, so the tiramisu and the pizza turned out very well. We can absolutely recommend the course. Charlotte, I would bake/cook with you again 🫶

Rome Cooking Class: Make Pasta, Dine & Drink Wine With Local Chef

Carreen_D, Oct 2026

Pasta making fun

Elisa was an extremely friendly, knowledgeable and skilled chef who gave lots of encouragement whilst demonstrating techniques clearly and helping us individually. The experience was enormous fun. I discovered there was more to making pasta than I had imagined but the meal we produced wad utterly delicious. This experience was the highlight of our holiday. We enjoyed being hands on with our pasta dough and past making equipment as well as having lively conversations with our fellow participants.

Had a terribly nice evening.

Ended up at this cooking class through a friend! Had a terribly fun evening. A nice atmosphere and pleasant company. Nava made the atmosphere good with all her jokes and music. Eddie helped fantastically in the background by constantly cleaning up and pouring our drinks. In short, a wonderful evening and a beautiful memory of Rome for us as a couple!

Truffle hunting near Rome with 7-course lunch

Highlight of our Italy Trip

Our truffle-hunting experience with Matteo was absolutely wonderful and definitely one of the highlights of our Italy trip! Matteo gave us very clear instructions for getting from Rome by train. From there, he drove us into the beautiful mountains to begin our truffle hunt. Along the way, he was incredibly personable and knowledgeable, sharing so much about truffle hunting and the area. The forest was absolutely beautiful, and hunting with his two dogs, Wendy and Leilo, was so much fun. They were adorable and clearly loved their job! I was also very glad I chose to wear sneakers because we spent a good amount of time hiking through the forest as we searched for and collected truffles. After our hunt, Matteo took us back to his property, where we got to meet his other dogs. Then came one of the best parts of the experience: a beautiful lunch that was prepared for us right there on the property. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we left very full and very happy. We especially appreciated Matteo’s warmth and hospitality. He made the entire experience feel personal and authentic rather than like a typical tourist excursion. If you’re visiting Italy and have the opportunity to go truffle hunting with Matteo, do it! It was such a unique experience, and one that we’ll remember as one of the very best parts of our trip.

Ancient Mosaic Workshop in Rome

Amanda_G, Sep 2026

Wonderful experience with very kind and skilled instructor Guilia

Wonderful experience making mosaics with Giulia. I came with my SIL who only speaks Hungarian and my two adult sons, one of whom is autistic and noticeably different. I mention this only because Giulia gave him extra instruction and encouragement without this being shared with her. I used Google translate to translate Giulia’s instructions into Hungarian for my SIL so she could follow along. The consensus from the group was that everyone had a wonderful time and learned something as well. My SIL said this activity was her favorite of all we did in Rome. Studio Cassio also let me add my SIL and other son the day before even though the workshop was technically full (could not purchase more tickets). We are all happy to have our personalized souvenirs from Rome!

Fabulous Roman experience

A true highlight of our trip to Rome. Informative and fun lesson where we learned how to make Roman pizza and gelato while enjoying Italian wine. Our chef was experienced and fun and our 8yo daughter loved it! The kitchen is also air conditioned so it was the perfect escape from the August heat.

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.

Rome: Somm-Led Fine Italian Wine & Dinner in a Renaissance Palace

Krysti_L, May 2026

We were supposed to be...

We were supposed to be with a group but we were the only two that booked the tour. Or sommelier Alex did not cancel and gave us a a private experience we will never forget. He had so much knowledge and taught us so much about pairing the right wine with each course. The restaurant was wonderful and he took us on a tour of the ancient bath house in basement now a wine seller. The wine was wonderful and the food did not disappoint. I was so thankful that Alex did not cancel because we were the only people signed up, we had another tour do that and it was very disappointing after booking so far in advance. This was one of our hi lights in Rome!

Are Rome dining experiences worth it?

Yes, Rome dining experiences are worth it. Italy is synonymous with quality cuisine, and you'll find some of the country's best chefs working and teaching in the country's capital. Learn how to make handmade pasta from scratch, hand-tossed pizza the Neapolitan way, or how to make homemade gelato. It's an experience that keeps on giving when you get back home. Or, let the local experts curate the perfect meal for you, so you can spend less time wandering around looking at menus and more time wining and dining the Italian way.

Per one customer who booked the 3 in 1 Cooking Class near Navona: Fettuccine, Ravioli & Tiramisu, "The cooking class was a wonderful experience! It was not only fun and informative, but also a great bonding opportunity. Making homemade food together and then enjoying the meal afterward created such a special memory. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hands-on, heartwarming activity."

What should I know before booking Rome dining experiences?

Before booking Rome dining experiences, consider whether you prefer a tasting experience where you can relax and indulge or an interactive experience where you’re tasked with preparing the dishes that appear on your plate. If you want to fully immerse yourself in the culture, look for a dining experience that includes a trip to a market to shop for ingredients or is hosted in a local’s home. And if you value good vino, consider experiences that include wine pairings. For more personal attention, book a private experience where it’s just you and your guide or host.

What are the best tips for enjoying Rome dining experiences?

To fully enjoy Rome dining experiences, come with a gladiator’s appetite. While portions in Italy aren’t always massive, it’s hard to leave the table hungry here. Also, inform your guide of any food allergies or intolerances you have as soon as possible, so your host has time to accommodate your needs. Finally, make sure to bring cash—a few euro coins or small bills. While leaving gratuity isn’t mandatory in Rome, it’s greatly appreciated, and you may feel embarrassed if others at your table are tipping while you’re left looking for the closest ATM.
