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!

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!

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.
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.
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.

Very fun experience! The kitchen we all cooked in was nice. The food was so amazing too. Highly recommend this experience.
Kristin_H, May 2026
This was the best experience of our trip! Chiara and Elisa were fantastic. We were a little skeptical to start just because there were many families with small children but they were so well behaved and made it inclusive of everyone. The children were a joy! We are so excited to get home and share what we learned!
Sheena_J, May 2026
Amazing anniversary date! Fresh pasta, gelato, wine, and a real local vibe. Chiara was incredible!!!
Linda_B, May 2026
We were ten minutes late to the meeting point. This was a 4:15 class and we arrived at 4:25. Since we knew that we would be late, we attempted to call . We tried both the tour agency and Viator and were unable to reach a person. We asked a waiter at a restaurant in the square and he told us that the people had left and that he did not know where they went. We stayed at the meeting point for 30 minutes hoping that someone would come back to find us. Unfortunately, nobody came to look for us.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Linda. We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to join your cooking class and that you had difficulty reaching someone when you realized you were running behind.
Our cooking classes in Rome are carefully timed to ensure the group has enough time with the chef to prepare, cook, and enjoy the meal together. Because these classes often move from the meeting point to a private kitchen or local market, it can be difficult for the group to wait or for staff to return to the square once the session has begun.
We sincerely regret that you were unable to connect with us via phone or through Viator at that moment. We aim to provide clear support for our guests, and we will look into our communication channels to ensure we are as accessible as possible for time-sensitive situations like this.
Kind Regards,
Gerard

It was so fun and the Pasta was delicious.
Sheila_K, May 2026
This was fantastic and so much fun! The meeting point is easily found and the cooking school a one minute walk. Highly recommend !
Suzanne_B, May 2026
The pizza making experience was great for our family which included a 13yr old. We all really enjoyed it. Our guide Jamila was excellent! Funny and relaxed, really warm and friendly! I would definitely recommend! Easy to find the pick up and all ran on time. There were 7 of us in the class which made it feel special.
I would like to give the experience 5 stars and I do recommend to book however, the experience information on the Viator site did not match what we received. This didn't dampen our experience, but the correct info needs to be displayed for the pizza making class. (We made tiramisu which was meant to be Gelato making, We specifically booked this tour as it WASN'T tiramisu!)
Danielle_M, May 2026
We had the best, most delicious experience with our chef, Gianmaria! We learned how to make a flavorful pasta Puttanesca, and a simple ravioli with a sage butter sauce, along with gelato for dessert. The Prosecco and wine were flowing, and we devoured everything we made.
This is a must do when you’re in Rome!
