So glad we booked this Rome cooking class, set in the heart of charming Trastevere. Jamila was an excellent chef and hostess! We learned so much from her, not only about how to make pasta and gelato but also about the ingredients and Roma culture. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed our time. And the food turned out amazing! This experience is one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Jamila!

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!

More than just a cooking experience.

Dawn_G, Aug 2026

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!!

Tammy_F, Aug 2026

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.

Amazing

Stefanie_B, Aug 2026

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.

Our favorite activity

Erin_R, Jul 2026

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!!

Family cooking night

John_P, Jul 2026

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.

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!

Lively pasta-making evening

Audrey_R, Jun 2026

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.

Neat Cooking Experience

Rome_P, Jun 2026

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.

Delicious and fun

Vishali_P, Jun 2026

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.

Excellent Culinary Experience
