The tour will allow you to get to know a typical representative of the elegant Roman suburbs, the town of Frascati. “City of Wine” is located 21 km from the Italian capital. In terms of the number of beautiful Renaissance and Baroque villas, the city rivals other settlements in Central Italy. The mild climate and beautiful landscape made Frascati a popular summer destination for the Roman aristocracy in the 16th century. While Frascati was a small village, noble families contributed to the development of the town, with magnificent villas built and stunningly beautiful gardens.

Step inside a real professional kitchen in the heart of Rome and experience Italian cuisine beyond a traditional cooking class. During this hands-on experience, you’ll learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch, prepare authentic Roman recipes like Carbonara, Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe, or Gricia, and create classic Italian desserts such as tiramisu or fresh lemon sorbet. What makes this experience unique is the opportunity to cook in a true restaurant environment using professional equipment, guided step by step by experienced culinary professionals. To complete the experience, you’ll enjoy carefully selected Italian wines and sit down together to taste everything you’ve created in a warm and unforgettable atmosphere.

Traditional Roman Dishes and Italian Wines

Beneath Rome’s Monte dei Cocci in Testaccio lies ancient underground cellars carved into hillside amphorae, dating from the late 1500s. These caves, with a natural microclimate of 10-15°C, have been transformed into a sensory haven for cave-aging artisanal cheeses and cured meats paired with regional wines. The experience begins with a walk through dimly lit vaults lined with aging cheeses, suspended prosciutto, and art installations, creating an immersive atmosphere of history and craftsmanship. Guests enjoy a guided tasting of four local wines—Cesanese, Grechetto, Bellone, and Malvasia Puntinata. Paired with these are rare cheeses like Conciato di San Vittore & Caciottina, alongside ethically sourced cured meats such as guanciale & prosciutto, benefiting from cave aging conditions. This unique setting celebrates Lazio’s culinary traditions, blending art, history and gastronomy, offering an unforgettable experience that revives forgotten techniques and honors local biodiversity.

What are people saying about Rome

Grace_A, Jul 2026

A Fun and Memorable Cooking Class

I highly recommend this cooking class! It was such a fun experience, and I learned so much along the way. Marzia was an amazing instructor—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly welcoming. I was especially impressed that she remembered everyone’s names, which made the class feel personal and created such a warm, friendly atmosphere. I would definitely take another class with her!

Ponza Island Day Trip from Rome with Boat Tour Swimming and Lunch

Eduardo_G, Jul 2026

Swimming in Ponza

This experience was one of the biggest highlights of our Italy trip. We were feeling a little overwhelmed by the summer heat in Rome and needed a break from sightseeing, so this tour was exactly what we needed. The day starts early with a bus ride to Anzio, followed by a ferry to Ponza. Once you arrive, you join your group and board a smaller boat for a tour around the island. Throughout the day, you stop several times in beautiful blue waters where you can swim and relax. Ponza is incredibly scenic, with views that feel like they belong in a movie. This tour is ideal for anyone looking to spend plenty of time on the water. It is not really designed for exploring the island on foot or spending much time shopping, so keep that in mind when booking. Mara was our host, and she was amazing. She kept track of everyone in the group, shared interesting local history and information about the areas we visited, and was simply a great person to experience the island with. Be sure to bring your own towel, plenty of sunscreen, and motion-sickness medication if you tend to feel unwell after spending extended time on a boat. Overall, this was a great experience and a much-needed escape from the heat and crowds of Rome. We would absolutely recommend it.

Rome Pasta Making Class with Italian Sauces and Wine Included

Amy_R, Jul 2026

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.

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

venera_h, Jul 2026

Fantastic Family Cooking Class!

We had a wonderful time making pizza and tiramisu! Our chef was funny, creative, and incredibly attentive to every detail. He shared great tips and secrets, helping us make perfect pizza dough from scratch and guiding us every step of the way. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind after busy days exploring the Vatican and the Colosseum. Our kids absolutely loved it, and we all left with delicious food, new skills, and great memories. Highly recommend!

Rome Tipsy Cooking Class: Make Pasta and Mix 3 Spritz Cocktails

Mat_s, Jun 2026

An Absolute Blast!

If you are looking for an upbeat, high-energy, and completely delicious experience, Kelly and her team are it! From the second class started, the energy was incredible. Kelly gave clear, step-by-step instructions and was right there with hands-on help whenever anyone needed it, making everyone feel completely comfortable. To top it all off, the spritzers were flowing the entire time! Not only did we get to enjoy them throughout the class, but they also shared the exact directions so we can recreate the perfect spritz at home. Such a great class, fantastic hosts, and an amazing vibe. Thank you, Kelly and team! I can't recommend this enough!

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

This activity is way out...

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.

Fun Fettuccine, Ravioli & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Rome

Firouzel_G, Jun 2026

Al dente

The pasta making class was so much fun, I have always wanted to make my own pasta. Maitta made it easy and we really enjoyed our time. Eating the fettuccine and ravioli was the best part, maybe the best meal I had in Rome. The restaurant we had the class at was called Gusto. We met 3 other groups of travelers, all from the US. We shared travel stories and had a wonderful conversation.

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!!!
