Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

This class was so amazing!! We learned so much and had so much fun!!

Julio!

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.

Marco was our chef, and this was AMAZING! So patient and kind and fun with the kiddos and an incredible chef. Also the best pizza and gelato we’ve ever had. Highly recommend and request Marco!

Loved this class!! Giulio was very patient and answered all our questions! The food was great!
