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!

Fettuccine and Tiramisu Class with Andrea

My wife wanted to take a cooking class during our trip to Rome and this was exactly what we were looking for. Andrea was our teacher and did a great job. We had a very small group, so he was very engaged in helping everyone throughout the class. His instructions were very clear and we had a lot of fun learning to make Fettuccine and Tiramisu from scratch. Afterwards, you pick a sauce and the restaurant prepares your pasta for you to eat and enjoy. Wine, Limoncello, soda, or espresso is included in the meal. Highly recommend this experience, especially if near Piazza Navona.

Great family experience!!

Such a fun family experience to make pizza and gelato together. Simple enough for the kids to do it all on their own and yet tasty enough for us all to enjoy. The facility is beautiful… clean, cool and well situated for us to be together. Duccio was a great chef and guide and my kids really enjoyed his sense of humor along with his guidance.

Wonderful Day Activity

We booked this experience in advance and felt like we received plenty of information and directions on how to get there. We opted to take the Metro, and were greeted with a friendly smile within the timeframe they said we would be picked up. The class was located outside of Rome, but we loved getting to see outside of the city. It did take additional time, but we felt it was worth the journey. The cooking class is outside in rustic style huts and outdoor area. It was so quaint and pleasant. Our chef for the day Alessia was so engaging, funny, and helpful. We are so glad we read the reviews about not eating before! We did the 10:30 class and it was perfect timing for lunch. We ate our homemade pizzas, pasta, and tiramisu and were stuffed. We were impressed with the class and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to do a fun half day activity.

Roman Cooking Class with Riccardo!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Roman Cooking Experience! Our cooking class with Riccardo was one of the highlights of our time in Rome. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how passionate he is about Italian cooking and sharing his knowledge with others. There were eight of us in the class, creating a fun, interactive, and welcoming atmosphere. Under Riccardo’s guidance, we learned how to make homemade pasta from scratch, including ravioli, spaghetti, and fettuccine, along with delicious traditional sauces. He explained each step clearly and made the experience enjoyable for cooks of all skill levels. The setting was warm and inviting, with background music adding to the authentic Italian atmosphere. As we enjoyed the dishes we had prepared, everything was paired with delicious wines that complemented the meal perfectly. Riccardo’s enthusiasm, expertise, and love of Italian cuisine made this much more than a cooking class—it was a memorable cultural experience. We left with full stomachs, new skills, and wonderful memories. If you’re visiting Rome, this class is an absolute must-do! Highly recommended! Bill, Flo, Diana and Joe May 25th 2026

Ancient Mosaic Workshop in Rome

Definitely recommend!!

A fantastic experience, me and my adult daughter attended this workshop together and we absolutely loved it. Giulia, Alex and Leonora were very friendly, helpful and so patient. The class was so much fun, we each got to make our own mosaic which we got to keep and bring home at the end of the class. The group size was small which was good.The studio was lovely, filled with the wonderful mosaics, and air-conditioned too. Would 100% recommend the workshop!!

Most delicious experience in Rome!

We had the best, most delicious experience with our chef, Gianmaria! We learned how to make a flavorful pasta Puttanesca, and a simple ravioli with a sage butter sauce, along with gelato for dessert.
