Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

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.

This was an amazing class. Guilio did an amazing job teaching the skills that. Make gelato and pizza. His explanations were easy to understand and will make it helpful in trying at home.

The instructor was amazing and so were his assistants!

The cooking class was so fun and interactive! Great for children 8+ and adults. Cristiana was amazing! Ask to make the chocolate cake, it’s so yummy!

Our pizza/gelato private class was our favorite experience in Italy! Marco was so personable and full of knowledge! Our lunch was fabulous and they even sang HBD to our daughter! We will cherish this memory forever
