This was the absolute best class! Thank you to the most amazing teachers, Asia and Stefano! Even with our class size of 12 it felt really personalized, we all had a lot of laughs and fun and everyone ended up with really good pasta. The recipes were really easy, the drinks were indeed bottomless and we had the best time. I would recommend this to anyone!

More than just a cooking experience.

It was so much fun! We learned a lot of cooking tips and received the recipes! Manuela is an amazing chef who made the class a lot of fun. We felt like family by the time we all sat down for dinner and wine. Great experience that we will always remember! Thumbs up!!

Our cooks were so fun and informative! We loved them! Learned so much about the cooking process and was interesting to see the differences in how I make my own pasta and sauce at home.

Amazing

Stefanie_B, Aug 2026

It is an amazing experience! Stephano was our instructor and he made the class informative and so much fun! The group was small enough to het all the instructions we needed but large enough to have a wonderful mixture.

Our favorite activity

Erin_R, July 2026

We attended class after a long day of sightseeing with our family. It was super engaging and everyone is extremely friendly. Our 11 and 13-year-old enjoyed the entire experience and cooking on their own. Highly recommend!!

Family cooking night

John_P, July 2026

The entire experience was fantastic. The folks at the kitchen made the class fun and engaging, and the food was even better. They took time to show everyone the next steps and double checked with each person to make sure they were keeping up. I would recommend this class for any families traveling to Rome looking for a fun activity in the evening.

Lively pasta-making evening

Audrey_R, June 2026

We had a amazing time learning how to make fettucine and raviolis. The room was very convivial and was made that much more enjoyable with the animation from Asia and her partner.

Neat Cooking Experience

Rome_P, June 2026

Really neat cooking experience with my family. Asia and Luca made it extremely fun and engaging to make two different types of pasta. And enjoyed the dinner/wine with the small group afterwards.

Delicious and fun

Vishali_P, June 2026

Great experience!! My family of 9 really enjoyed getting to learn more about the authentic cooking methods. Luca and Jamila were friendly and very informative. Despite already being an avid cook, I learned a lot! Also, the location where the class is held is very spacious and vibey. The puttanesca we had was delicious, we’re excited to make it at home! Would recommend to friends, couples, and family! Don’t hesitate even if you aren’t a big cook. All experience levels enjoyed.

Very fun experience! The kitchen we all cooked in was nice. The food was so amazing too. Highly recommend this experience.

Best hands on experience!

Kristin_H, May 2026

This was the best experience of our trip! Chiara and Elisa were fantastic. We were a little skeptical to start just because there were many families with small children but they were so well behaved and made it inclusive of everyone. The children were a joy! We are so excited to get home and share what we learned!
