Shamefully, the chef decided to not show up as I was the only person signed up for the tour. I believe the larger group canceled at the last minute, however, I woke up early to arrive on time for my tour. My time is my most valuable asset, therefore, have the courtesy to respect that.
My guide was excellent and very informative! I will change the way I’ve made pasta in the past. Would highly recommend this class.
Marco was fabulous. We drank wine, ate pasta and met some fantastic people. Would highly recommend 👌
An absolutely brilliant way to spend a very hot day in Rome. Informative, fun and a great meal with wine. We had a lovely time with Marco. Thanks so much Marco for making it such an unforgettable experience for us and our friends
We absolutely had a blast with Marco! I am so excited to get home and make pasta for my family and friends. It was such a friendly and relaxing atmosphere Marco created. Never rushed, even went longer than scheduled as we sat and drank wine and chatted. When we ate what we created, I was amazed. Amazingly good. Like great. Delicious. But the experience was incredible. Thank you Marco! Grazie!
This was a great experience from wandering in the market to learning how to make pasta. Marco did a fabulous job teaching us about making pasta and the results were so delicious
Marco was phenomenal, he was very funny, nice and accommodating. This experience was one of the highlights of our trip! Also got to make several different types of pasta and two sauces.
We had a fantastic experience learning with Marco. Such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. Thank you Marco, Janine & Jason
This was unbelievable fun! Had an awesome time both at the markets and at the cooking class. Marco was such a gentleman and extremely funny. We enjoyed ourselves so much, ate some great pasta and had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and cannot sing Marco’s praise enough, thanks again!
This class was excellent. I have taken many cooking classes in my travels and opted to try this one with my daughter. Marco did not disappoint. Marco made the class fun and enjoyable while teaching how to make authentic pasta. It was delicious. I can’t wait to try it when I return home!
Loved walking to the market and shopping for ingredients. Loved the small class size. Loved the enthusiasm of our chef, Marco. Truly a highlight of my trip to Italy.
Marco is fantastic- what amazing experience for the tour of the market tot the hands on pasta making and wine- delicious!!
What a great time with Marco!! First to fresh market then back to class to make pasta & eat! I would do this again in a heartbeat…so much fun & a great group of people!!
So much fun! We enjoyed the cooking and learning The chef was fun and entertaining. We got to taste at the end and was delicious. Just wish we had recipes at end
Fun, energetic and knowledgeable, our host Marco made the experience a terrific memory. We loved eating the pasta right after we prepared it. One of the highlights of our trip to Rome.
From start to finish Marco was helpful, informative and had everyone laughing, he took the time to get to know everyone in the group and shared valuable tips to enhance our session, we would fully recommend this
One of our favorite Italy experiences. Marco was fantastic and made the event fun and informational. The food was incredible too!
We loved the experience! Was lots of fun, great food and the local market was something different and not something we would find on our own
Marco was a great host and attentive to all needs. Unfortunately the class size was too large and we ran 90 minutes late.
Wish I would give Marco ten stars. My three sons (2 young adults and a teen) and I loved our pasta making experience. Marco is a fantastic chef and teacher. He was so engaging and funny. We would highly recommend this class.
We had an amazing day with Marco. He showed us how to make amazing dishes of pasta and had so much fun along the way. We first went to the markets and learnt so much along the way then continued to learn and have some wine and fun while making some great pasta 🍝
Marco was the most amazing teacher we could have. He knows a lot about the food, not just how to make pasta but the history behind. Would really recommend doing his class if u are in Rome
Forget about The Colosseum. Forget about Saint Peter’s Basilica. Forget about The Trevi Fountain. There’s a new pope in town: Marco and his cooking class.
Marco knows everything about Italian cuisine. He’s kind, charming and patient. And he served wine to his grown up students🍷😃My son and I enjoyed every minute on our last day in Rome. It’s impossible not to give him 5 stars!
Thank you Marcos! It was an amazing experience! We enjoyed this very much! Marcos is entertaining and an excellent instructor! Highly recommended!!
Thank you again Marcos-see you at Christmas, send your list!♥️
This class was AMAZING! Marco was hilarious, informative, and fun! I attended with my teenaged sons and we really enjoyed every second!
Me and my nieces had a fantastic time during this class. Even though there were 14 of us in the class, Marco made sure to interact with all of us. It was neat to go to the local market and get some history of the city along the way. A great hands on experience to be able to know how the dough should look and feel. Even got tips on what to do if the dough is too dry. Thanks for a great time Marco!
We had a great pasta class with Marco. He took us to the local market to get all the ingredients, showed us how his Nonna used to make pasta and gave us sooo much more information about his life and living abroad in Australia and the States. It was such a fun day with a lovely group, the best handmade pasta and great local wine. I definitely recommend to book a cooking class with Marco! You won't regret it.
Marco was the best! He showed us how to make pasta the Italian way. It was great to learn these techniques, and I can’t wait to try this at home.
Our chef Marc was above and beyond expectations. Truly an enjoyable experience Made more food than we could eat
This was avery nice experience. Marco, the Chef is amazing person. However, this class should be done in a central table where we could see better the all process. I know that they had an old kitchen like this and chaged recently to a type of class room which is not easy to see whats going on on the chef table.
Besides this it was an amzing experience
