This was a great cooking class! Starting with the tour in the market to gather the items with Roberto, to working in a great kitchen set up, I couldn't have asked for a better event. It was exactly as described. Roberto was a very easy going teacher and fun. We made a great 3 course meal that's easy enough to do at home. I definitely recommend this!

Great chef, great food!

Eric_B, Nov 2024

My wife and I did this cooking class. Our instructor was Davide. This was easily one of the best experiences we have done while away on vacation. Chef was extremely knowledgable, fun to be with, and make the class enjoyable from every aspect. The food was absolutely fantastic.

You must do this with Roberto!

Chefs Marco and crew were terrific! Thanks for a memorable day. They went out of their way to connect us to a fine local wine trip outside of Rome for a couple days later and we truly appreciated the efforts they made on our behalf.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you kindly for the glowing review, we will let the whole team know! And we are glad you enjoyed your wine trip outside of Rome also!

Don’t Pass Up This Experience! You will regret it

Khamille_D, Oct 2021

This one of our favorite experiences in Italy so far! Marco was an excellent tour guide and chef. He made the experience amazing with his friendly and funny personality. Who would have known it was the small details that would make homemade pasta amazing

Exceptional cooking class in Roma!

Brian_T, Oct 2021

Our chef, David, was a gracious host, and excellent chef and teacher. Very well equipped kitchen in former private apartments. Highly recommended and a “must do.”

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you for your review Brian! We really enjoyed hosting you at the school and look forward to welcoming you back to Rome soon. Grazie mille!

Fun day

Viviane_P, Feb 2020

It was nice to meet at the market and to learn about the different vegetables I wish we would have spent more time walking around. It’s very colorful. I loved the menu. I enjoyed making fresh pasta and learned how to prepare some ingredients I had never cooked with before. I would have liked to be more involved preparing the main dish Felipo and Teresa were great.

Amazing experience

Vilma_U, Nov 2019

I and my teenager son really enjoyed this cooking class and the food afterwards. Chef Filippo was great and kindly shared tips and tricks, so I learned a lot. I am looking forwards to put all my knew knowledge into the practice, so would really appreciate if you send me all recipes we made. Thank you

One of a kind experience!

Spiga8, Oct 2019

Max, could you please send us the recipes as promised? I have dinner with friends next weekend to show off all the fabulous skills you taught me and can’t do without them! It was the mini calzoni, Cavatelli, the meat meal and the vanilla ice cream.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

A must do in Roma

Kathy S, Sep 2019

We had an amazing time at this class. From the wonderfully fun walk through the market to the incredible dessert, this is a must for all the cooks out there. Felipo was so very entertaining, the staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this event.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice review! We're really glad you enjoyed the experience and hope you learned some new skills and recipes to take back with you =) We hope to welcome you back to Rome soon; a presto!

nice experience

infoV9121ZP, Sep 2019

It was a super experience and Filipe as a fantastic cook. a lot of tips and tricks to take with us back home. thanks to you all

Great Experience!

Kristen_D, Aug 2019

The class started out a little rocky. We, along with the instructor, met at the market only to find it was closed! (Such is life in Rome during August) He improvised by arranging for a cab for us and we went to a local Eataly to shop there, which was quite fun. Based on the preferences of the group (we were a small group - just 8 of us) he chose the ingredients for the menu. We then went back to the cooking school, where a member of the management team was there to personally apologize for the mix up (which was clearly not their fault - the market hours listed indicated it should have been open). The cooking school was wonderful - there was plenty of space for all 8 of us to work. We cooked a delicious meal which included 3 courses and dessert. I cook quite a bit and was worried that the experience would be too basic. But, it was not - I learned new things and the instructor also took the time to teach our girls some techniques - we all had a great time. The meal itself was outstanding. While we did help to prepare it, the chef/instructor put the finishing touches on and it really felt like we had a private chef preparing a gourmet meal for us. We ate in a dining room separate from the kitchen, which was also quite nice. Our instructor/chef was personable, warm and great fun to get to know. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! We appreciate your understanding regarding the closure of the market (indeed, such is life in Rome during summer!) and are really glad you got so much out of the rest of the experience. Grazie!!

Nice cooking class with nice people

Tiny_v, Mar 2019

We had a nice time, with an friendly cook, who took us to the market and the butcher first. What we did not like was the planned visit to two market stalls, obviously with the intention to let us buy there something. But after that, it was a pleasure to follow the class. We made delicious food end after the class, we had a nice lunch together. Absolutely value for money. I had the cokking class together with my sons ( 34, 32 and 32 years, we all liked it)

A very delicous and rewarding cooking class

Connector17430400629, Jan 2019

We met Adri (our chef) at the market on a sunny winter day and decided together what we were going to cook. We learned a lot about typical vegetables we didn't know (broccoletti, puntarelle and lots of other wild salad types), sicilian tomatoes and the meat you use for ossobuco. The modern cooking school is in a beautiful ancient buildung three steps away from the market and we started right away with a caffé... We cooked three different types of artichokes, made ravioli with broccoletti and ricotta, ossobuco and a semifreddo/vanilla and lemon. Adri was very nice, explained everything – also scientifically, if needed –, he is very much into regional, 0 km, vegetarian – but doesn't try to make people think the way he does. We had a lovely time with him and everything was delicious. Mille grazie!
