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!

If I could leave a 0 review I would. Roberto, the chef from WalksDevour Cooking School that Viator used, texted me the day before the class saying to reply to his message if anything was needed. On the day of the class, Rome police had closed the route to the meeting point for a period of time (it was not on a subway route so transportation by vehicle was the only option) and I texted him twice about being a few minutes late because of this. I also tried to call his cell phone number from the text but it did not go through even though it was showing up as a US number. Roberto never met us at the meeting point (a piazza in Trastevere and not an actual restaurant or business address) and never responded to me as to where to meet him, so my family did not ever get the cooking class we had been looking forward to. Upon arriving back home from my trip, I reached out to Viator to request a refund but has told it was being denied because the operator, Roberto (WalksDevour Cooking School), did not approve it. Beware of this lack of professionalism and common courtesy and I recommend avoiding booking this cooking class. I have booked many other tours with Viator and this is the first time I have ever had anything but a positive experience.
This was a fun, engaging, and interactive experience. Luca is a great host and passionate about what he does. They were weirdly stingy about the wine and serving it. Liked that it allowed you to meet and get to know other travelers especially at the family style dinner.
So much fun and possibly the best pastas and gelato we ate in Italy! Great host - highly recommended.
Would highly recommend! Was the best experience. We made 2 pasta dishes and dessert. Chefs were helpful and knowledgeable, just great to work with and shared helpful hints and ideas. I would do this again 100%!
This was such an amazing experience to make our own pasta and assist with making the delicious sauce and gelato. I’m not a big red sauce person but this one was the best I’ve ever had. Chiara was so great at helping us throughout the process, kept our glasses full of prosecco and wine, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the meal and socialize with the other groups. She was funny and very knowledgeable during the entire evening.
We showed up at the location on time and the guide had already left. We had to walk 40 minutes in the heat to get there. The operator refused to tell us where the actual class was taking place and then tried to get us to pay another $40 to reschedule. What a scam!
The chef was very fun and the food was delicious :) I’m excited to make pasta on my own one day once I get a roller!
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.
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.
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!!
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.
Great experience , Julia was amazing , super easy , light hearted and the end product was super great to eat .
We ended our vacation in Rome with this pasta making class. So much fun and amazing food. Chefs made it a wonderful experience we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. I will do this again during my next visit to Rome.
Probably our most favorite night in Italy. This cooking class was everything I'd hoped for. The staff was fantastic, the class was so much fun, and the food was DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend!!!!
Wonderful experience. Learned a few new things about cooking. Simple fresh ingredients are tastier and healthier! Loved this class. Asia is a great chef! Thank you.
So much fun! We opted for the pasta, gelato, and wine class. Jamila and Luca were a lot of fun to work with.
We had an amazing time. The group we shared the experience with was good. We had the expertise of two chefs and both were amazing.
Came to Rome for a family trip, saw all the sights, ate all the food, and the highlight was the cooking class with Manuela. Her energy was upbeat and infectious and our meal was spectacular!! Would highly recommend any class with her-she’s awesome!
Fun, light hearted cooking experience and the food and wine were delicious. We enjoyed the chefs and their humor.
This experience was excellent and making 2x pasta dishes is even better!
The team were easy to find at the meeting point and everything ran on time. Food was delicious and would recommend to anyone!
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.
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.
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.
Wonderful experience learning how to make pasta and sauce. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to making pasta on our own.
The group was not too large and we learned a lot! We also loved our teacher, Alisa (not sure of that spelling).
It was awesome! So fun and the food was delicious! The instructors, Alex and John, were great and lots of fun! They answered questions and gave us useful tips! Super nice!
Fun event with great teachers. Food was delicious. Group made the event fun. Everything was tasty. Definitely recommend.
So much fun!! Asia and Manuela were amazing hostesses! High energy, funny and educational. I highly recommend—and the pasta meals were to die for!
