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.

Highly recommend for families

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...

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!
