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 🫶

Awesome!

Awesome experience! Our teacher was very clear and educational, all in a very relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend this activity, which is a nice change. We were able to discover a bit of Italian gastronomy and its history, the latter being linked, as our host taught us.

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

jan, Oct 2026

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.

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.

Ancient Mosaic Workshop in Rome

Jessica_A, Sep 2026

Fun Mosaic Workshop

Went with my partner to a mosaic workshop for a more unique and crafty experience on our trip to Rome and thought it was amazing! Our hosts were warm and welcoming, and showed their expertise as they walked through the Roman methods for making mosaics. They were also so helpful at guiding us when we were lost or unsure on how to make the design work. Really pleased with the outcome and highly recommend it as part of any trip to Rome.

Making pasta from scratch was an experience I’ll never forget! The class overall I would recommend time and time again! It was so fun and left with a full stomach!!

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!
