A happy, welcoming, knowledgable, worthwhile, excellent value lesson in Italian Pasta and sauce making from the basics. Leo has a wealth of knowledge and is such a patient professor of his craft. We also had Prosecco, white and red wine to accompany our three pasta dishes that we make with our own hands under Leo’s top notch instructions. A really well thought out class and the three hours just flew by. Thank you so very much - we cannot wait to get back home to the UK and make our own from what we gleaned.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. We’re delighted you enjoyed the class, the wines, and making fresh pasta by hand with Leo. It means a lot to know you’ll be taking these memories and recipes back home with you to the UK.

This was an amazing cooking class. William did such an amazing job and was very entertaining. We also met lots of great people. If you want to learn how to make pasta and sauces I highly recommend this class. From ages 25-62 we all enjoyed it. Lots of good wine too.

Leo, William, and Victor not only allowed us to experience the authenticity of Roman dishes but provided laughs, expertise, and wisdom. If you are unsure about which cooking class to take, this is the one. Added bonus was getting better insight on signature sauces and flavors.

Nathan_L, Feb 2026
This is absolutely the cooking class to book. We covered 3 pastas with 3 sauces, and the training was very thorough and entertaining. The pastas and sauces we created were the best we had during our time in Italy, and that's saying something because all the food was great.

This pasta cooking class in Rome was an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, lively, and welcoming. Our group had great energy, which made the experience even more fun and interactive.
The chef was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and generous with tips and tricks. Beyond just following a recipe, we learned the why behind everything—especially the history and background of classic Roman pasta sauces, which added so much depth to the experience. You could really feel the chef’s love for Roman cuisine and teaching.
We made fresh pasta completely from scratch and paired it with three delicious sauces: a bold arrabbiata, a classic cacio e pepe / gricia-style sauce (depending on wether you're veggie or not and personal preference), and a beautifully simple butter and sage sauce for the ravioli we made earlier. Every dish was fantastic, and the techniques we learned feel easy enough to recreate at home.
The chef was also super open, kind, and happy to answer any questions, constantly sharing extra tips that you won’t find in a cookbook. It felt personal, relaxed, and authentic—never rushed or scripted. The day after, we received a recipe book for the pasta and sauces we made via mail.
If you’re looking for a hands-on, delicious, and genuinely memorable food experience in Rome, I can’t recommend this class enough. Come hungry and leave inspired!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Alexander, thank you so much! Your feedback truly inspires us. We’ll be waiting for you with new challenges (and new forks) ready!

This was lots of fun….and informative! William was fabulous, and we built a friendship with the other guests as well. I actually think I could do this on my own! Wonderful time!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi Susan! We loved reading your enthusiasm. If you enjoyed it, spread the word — your recommendation is the best gift for us.
Patricia_H, Oct 2025
This cooking class exceeded my expectations! Chef William was amazing. We made 3 different pastas. All pasta making was hands-on. We made the dough, rolled, shaped and cut the pasta. We all helped out in making three sauces. We started the class with cheese tasting and prosecco. Later we had wine with our pastas. Chef William was so generous with so much information about the pasta making tools, the pasta making techniques and how important it is to cook by taste and not by quantity. The food was amazing-honestly better than all the restaurants we visited. I learned so much and I will definitely return to this cooking school with chef William. Lived, loved, loved it.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hey Patricia! Thank you for making us feel at home. Our classes are like a big family — come back anytime!
Meygan_N, Oct 2025
Leo was exceptional! It was fun, entertaining, and I learned so much! I had not realized how simple yet detailed it is to make pasta and now I feel like I could do it at home from memory as well as make any sauce I want. It was a wonderful bonding experience with my husband as well and now we can add even more things to our dinner rotations! 20/10 we recommend!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi Meyga! Your review made us smile. It’s wonderful to know you felt part of the family. See you soon for more pasta and sauces!

Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks a lot, Joseph! It was a real pleasure cooking together. Hope to see you soon for new recipes… and maybe even more laughs!
Antoine_G, Oct 2025
It was very fun and well organized. The place is very clean and nice. William the host and chef was enthusiastic and very professional.
Now the lesson for making pasta was as good as it can be. We ended up making spaghetti, fettuccine and ravioli. He showed us how to make Cacio e Pepe, Arrabbiata and butter and sage sauce. Which were all equally good.
That experience was well worth the price.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear, thank you so much! Your feedback truly inspires us. We’ll be waiting for you with new challenges (and new forks) ready!
