Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

Great tour with a ton of information about the area, culture. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a food tour in Rome!

My sons and I had the best morning cooking with Giulio! From getting the ingredients at the market to the step by step instructions through 3 courses he gave us tips on traditional cooking and how to put a recipe together. We all absolutely loved it and the food was delicious. Best carbonara we have had in Italy yet! I'm so glad we did this!!!

Maurizio was a wonderful Trastevere Food Tour guide! I appreciated him sharing local history and information in addition to the history of the food. He shared how the Trastevere neighborhood got its name and the small facts about buildings and fountains as we passed by. The food was fun and very Roman. We started with an aperitivo, tried suppli, pizza bianca, fried zucchini flower, caccio e peppe, amatriciana, and gelato. Maurizio provided fun facts about the origin of the dishes, origin of ingredients, how it’s prepared, and small tidbits such as the cheese pull of the suppli is called a “phone line.” These weren’t my favorite foods I’ve had this trip, as it was very carb and cheese heavy, but I am very happy to have tried everything and some foods surprised me. I especially liked the fried zucchini flower and the potato pizza. I wouldn’t have come across those on my own. Maurizio was kind at the end of the tour to ask how we were getting back since the tour ended in a different location than it started. He even helped call the car company for us to make sure we were good! I also got some great shots of St. Peter’s Basilica in the skyline at golden hour, it was a great time to be walking around.

John Luca was so professional and detailed in his work. We truly enjoyed our cooking class .definitely recommend it.

“I can’t recommend Maurizio enough as a personal tour guide! He took us on a food walking tour that was so much more than just eating. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about the buildings, historical landmarks, and local neighborhoods. At each stop, we got to savor amazing appetizers and traditional dishes from five different restaurants and finished with dessert. His passion and knowledge made the whole experience unforgettable. Don’t miss it!”
