Great instructor, great time, great experience

We had Jem as our chef instructor and it was a 10/10 experience. A perfect way to start a day (booked the noon class) with a few spritzes and a belly full of carbonara. If you are a person who enjoys learning a new skill or simply a new experience, I couldn’t recommend this enough.

Comfort Food with “Family”

Ilaria was amazing! She made us feel so welcome and at home from the moment she greeted us in her home. The food we made was delicious! Her ingredients so fresh and easy to find when we want to make the recipe on our own. The recipe is also quite easy to follow. This was hands down the BEST part of our trip to Rome, specifically Trastevere. Many thanks, Ilaria!

Wonderful day making mosaics

My daughter and I spent a lovely afternoon learning about the art of making mosaics and then had the opportunity to each make one for ourself. Alex and Julia were amazing instructors and we really had such a lovely time. It was a great way to break up a day of sight seeing. The studio is in a fun and vibrant part of town.

Rome Cooking Class: Make Pizza and Pasta with Wine & Dessert

Excellent Pizza Class — But Confusing Logistics and a Late Night

The class itself was fantastic — a full five-star experience. The instructor made it fun and engaging, and I’ve already made Neapolitan pizza several times since returning home. We learned, cooked, laughed, and enjoyed pizza, pasta, and wine together afterward. My reason for giving four stars instead of five comes down to the logistics. Originally, our class was scheduled for 10:30 a.m., but the day before, the tour operator asked us to switch to the 5:30 p.m. class, saying it would be a smaller group. We agreed, but the class ended up being just as full, and we didn’t sit down to eat until after 8:00 p.m. — a much later night than expected. The bigger issue was Viator’s confusing meetup information. The Viator listing said the meeting point was Laurentina Metro Station, but the map on the Viator page showed a pin on Via del Corso, only a few blocks from our hotel. I assumed the map was correct and that Laurentina referred to something nearby. The tour operator also texted “Laurentina Metro”, but I didn’t realize that Laurentina is actually about a 25–30 minute drive from central Rome — not a short walk away. Since we were traveling with my wife’s 80-year-old parents, we decided to take a taxi directly to the class rather than walk to what I thought was the meetup point on Via del Corso. That decision turned out to be the only reason we made it on time — had we walked to Via del Corso as shown on Viator’s map, we would have completely missed the class. To the operator’s credit, they gave us a ride back to Laurentina afterward and were very kind about the mix-up. But when I mentioned the problem, their only response was, “I don’t know why Viator does that.” Bottom line: The class was excellent and absolutely worth doing — just don’t rely on the Viator map for the meetup location. Confirm the exact spot directly with the operator before you go.

Cooking Class in Rome: Chef in a Day

Cory_H, Oct 2025

A Wonderful Culinary Experience

5 stars is not enough for this amazing experience! We loved everything about this adventure! Paola took us to the market and butcher shop to start. When we arrived at the kitchen we got to work cooking and learning. She explained every ingredient and why they were important to our recipes. Then we went full hands on with her as our guide. She demonstrated every step clearly and helped us along the way. We made one pasta with egg and flour, one with just semolina and water and potato gnocchi as well as 3 different sauces. It was delicious and so rewarding to enjoy our hard work. I can hardly wait to get home and get cooking

Wonderful Experience at the Farm

It was our favorite day so far. Got out of the City to rural Zagarolla. Claudia and Angela were wonderful. Learned some secrets (at least to us) for making perfect pasta. The food was wonderful, the farm environment was beautiful and Claudia’s husband serenaded us. Would definitely recommend and we hope we can go back some day.

Loved this experience! Chef Francesco Was Amazing!

We had the most wonderful experience today at our cooking class! Chef Francesco was so impressive! He was genuinely so kind to our family and was so knowledgeable about the food we prepared. He broke everything down for us and encouraged us to try every part of the preparation! The kitchen was so nice and well organized! Plenty of space for our family of four! The food was so delicious and the variety was great. We cooked 3 different pastas and meat dish. We truly felt like this was the highlight of our trip to Rome! We all really enjoyed our time together! This is a must do experience and we are so happy we did it!! We totally recommend this experience to anyone!!

Fun and delicious cooking class in Rome!

Fun cooking class with an experienced teacher/chef. We made two kinds of pasta and tiramisu. Nice combination of hands on doing + cooking lesson by the teacher, followed by a lovely dinner. Sparkling wine to start and wine with dinner is included. David was an excellent and patient teacher with us and our table had a wonderful time chatting and getting to know each other (we were all Americans). Highly recommend! Our experience lasted from 5:30-8/8:30 ish.
