Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

Marco was great! We had 4 kids with us and did the pizza and gelato class and they were very engaged the whole time!

Maurizio was great company and an excellent source of knowledge not only about the food culture in Rome but also the history of the city and its iconic landmarks. Highly recommend his tour.

Such a fun cooking class! Julio is an amazing and super fun maestro!!

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.

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!!!
