Great location, clean, inviting, and well worth the cost. Was a great way to cool down during a hot day in Rome. Made different types of pasta and sauces. Learned about history of both pasta and gelato along with tips and recommendations. Highly recommended!!

Great interactive experience. The chef was right there to help when our dough wasn’t soft enough. Loved learning how to make the pasta and it tasted amazing. Excited to try the recipes when I get home!

Our cooking class with Chef Stefania was such a fun and memorable experience. When we arrived, we decided to switch from making pasta to learning how to make a true Roman pizza, and we’re so glad we did. Chef Stefania guided us through the process step by step and made it both educational and enjoyable. She was incredibly kind, energetic, and clearly passionate about cooking. Her love of Roman cuisine and deep knowledge of local food traditions really added to the experience. We also made gelato, and we especially appreciated her tips on how to identify good gelaterias that use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Chef Stefania made the entire class engaging and relaxed, and we left with new skills and a deeper appreciation for Roman food. We would highly recommend taking a class with her.

Amazing experience!!

caroline_m, Jul 2026

We really enjoyed this...

Katie_M, Jul 2026

We really enjoyed this class, and our 8 and 6 year olds loved being able to make their own pastas. Our teacher was very engaging and the time flew by! We learned a lot. Our only negative feedback would be that the name says you'll make gelato but we only learned how to make pasta. We got to eat some freshly-made gelato at the end of class, but my spouse and I were most looking forward to learning how to make it, not just eat it.

Absolutely Amazing! Highly recommend!

Timothy_J, Jul 2026

Shelia was absolutely AMAZING! Excellent teacher and coach - she is very patient. I highly recommend the classes. We took pizza and gelato class with our newly minted 12 year old. She enjoyed every bite of his homemade pizza and gelato. My wife and I enjoyed the wine - red and white.

2 hour private Pompeii tour

Brian_B, Jul 2026

Daniela was wonderful and incredibly informative on everything about Pompeii. She was able to direct our path through the ruins in an efficient manner that maximized our two hour private tour.

When booking, remember...

Hannah_G, Jun 2026

When booking, remember that this is a group class. Which means that 7 and 9 years old are allowed and could ruin your entire experience when they are not well behaved. They spoke over our amazing chef the entire time, complained, and were a huge distraction. The grandparents did nothing and allowed the behavior throughout the class. The class was great, but the people you are with also make the experience:(

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that the atmosphere during the class was not as enjoyable as expected. We completely understand how the dynamics of a group experience can have an impact on the overall enjoyment of the class. Our cooking classes are family-friendly experiences, and children are certainly welcome to join when accompanied by adults. That said, our chefs always do their best to make sure every guest feels comfortable, involved, and able to enjoy the experience, while also keeping the class running smoothly for everyone. We are truly sorry that this particular situation affected your time with us, but we are glad to know that you enjoyed the class itself and appreciated our chef. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Kind regards, Towns of Italy Team

The class is great! ...

The class is great! Gulia and Anna we wonderful teachers. I’ll be trying to make pasta at home! The sauces were delicious as well!

Best Rome Experience

Monica_T, Jun 2026

We did a pasta cooking class today and had the most amazing time! It will probably be one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. Both of my children, ages 7 and 10, absolutely loved it—and my 10-year-old is not easily impressed! Giulia was an incredible teacher and chef. She was patient, engaging, and made the experience fun for everyone. We learned a lot, enjoyed delicious food, and made wonderful family memories together. If we are lucky enough to return to Rome, this will be one of the first experiences we book again. Highly recommend for families visiting Rome!

Maria made the experience...

Anthony_Z, Jun 2026

Maria made the experience very fun!! I thought the food wasn’t going to be enough at the end, but we came out very full.

Pasta making class worth the money!

Laura_A, May 2026

Geulia was excellent. The class was super fun and delicious! Highly recommend the class! It was fun for the whole family

Very disappointing - no Gelato making!

Elizabeth_J, May 2026

This was a below average experience. The pasta making was pretty fun and the host was engaging, but the host herself made all the sauces. The really disappointing part was there was NO Gelato making. They fed us some bland vanilla gelato at the end but did not even talk about how it was made or what went into it. Some guests in our group were late and they waited for them which was dumb - those of us who were on time should have been able to start and then maybe there would have been time for the full experience. The host was also very stretched and did not have enough help managing the kitchen so that made things move slowly. I wrote and requested a refund and was denied, so that's why I am taking the time to write this review. If they had replied to my concerns and made good on it that would be one thing, but there is no accountability for not providing the full service. I would advise you pass on this one!

Great interactive...

Fun pasta cooking class - When in Rome!

Nicole_H, Apr 2026

Cooking class in a clean kitchen/school environment. We were packed in but we made it work. Anna was a great chef/host. Highly recommend one of her classes. Wine, soft drinks throughout. Made 3 types of pasta. She demonstrated 3 different sauces. We ate it all and finished with gelato and walk back to hotel.

Awesome. Child friendly

Z_M, Mar 2026

Awesome experience. Family friendly. 6 year old also liked. Chef was very helpful. Accommodative of allergies also. Nice/clean professional-like kitchen.

Highly recommend for families

Elizabeth_S, Mar 2026

What a wonderful experience! First, the facility is gorgeous. Anna, our chef, was so warm and welcoming from the first moment so my kids (girls 9 and 11) really opened up with her. We had so much fun making pasta (three types of pasta and three types of sauce). The pesto fettuccine was my favorite!! Our family devoured the whole plate. Unlimited soda and wine (although we didn’t drink it) the whole class. It was a really nice break from being on our feet and our kids were so entertained by Anna. Highly recommend!!

This was a fantastic...

Michael_P, Mar 2026

This was a fantastic experience. We made two different types of pasta from scratch with two different sauces. Both were amazing and we will be using these recipes forever. 10/10

The Pizza and Gelato Class with Chef Stefania is a Winner!

Kim_B, Mar 2026

Very enjoyable class

Jill_O, Jan 2026

This was a very well done enjoyable experience. Chef Duccio was personable, funny and very knowledgeable. He provided us with real life stories while cooking. Highly recommend for travelers to Rome.
