What are people saying about Rome

Lori_M, Oct 2026

The chef was outstanding

The chef made sure that everybody had fun participating in the experience from kids that were less than ten years old to senior citizens. She was helpful, taught us Italian and made us laugh, all while teaching us a knowledgeable skill. Would definetly go back. We had tasty food. By the time that we were done, everything tasted great. This experience was one of the best in the city.

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.

Kyle_P, Sept 2026

Gaia is the go to!

Gaia was the best! She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and patient with all of us! She did a great job explaining every step to take when making the pasta and the spritz both. Her bubbly personality was a pleasure and she made sure to include everybody throughout the process. I would gladly recommend Rome with Chef to anybody looking for an activity to do. Specifically I would recommend doing it with Gaia, I couldn’t rant and rave about her enough. My wife and I did it together and it was so much fun!

Food was delicious,...

Food was delicious, company was fantastic, and Eugenio was a great teacher! I had so much fun learning how to cook the Roman staples. I would have loved to get into the more technical aspects of the cooking, so would recommend this to people looking for good food, wine, and company, not really intensive cooking intructions.

Rome Pizza or Pasta Cooking Class Gelato Tasting & Unlimited Wine

Shamir_P, July 2026

A Fantastic Family Experience with Chef Anna!

We had an amazing time at the pizza and gelato making class with Chef Anna in Rome. From the moment we arrived, she made everyone feel welcome and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The pizza making was hands-on and easy to follow, with Anna sharing lots of helpful tips along the way. It was great to make our own authentic Italian pizzas from scratch, and they tasted incredible. The gelato making was just as enjoyable. Learning how traditional Italian gelato is made was fascinating, and of course, tasting the finished product was a real highlight! We did this experience with our children, and they absolutely loved getting involved. Anna was patient, engaging, and made sure everyone, regardless of age or ability, had a great time. If you’re looking for an authentic, interactive experience in Rome that’s suitable for families, couples, or anyone who loves Italian food, we would highly recommend this class. It was one of the highlights of our trip and created some wonderful family memories. Thank you, Chef Anna! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lisa_H, June 2026

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 Candlelight Wine and Dine in Ancient Ruins Near the Pantheon

Steven_W, June 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.
