Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

Absolutely the best experience I had in Italy. Enough said. Marco was an amazing instructor. I will forever remember him and what he taught me.

Such an amazing experience with David. Started with shopping in the market where he provided options and explained the food choices. Easy walk to the cooking school which was wonderful inside. Step by step he guided but let us take the reins in the cooking process. The staff beyond David were professional, friendly and approachable! The end result was an amazing meal that we felt confident that we could reproduce at home. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

We had a great experience with our chef Giulio today making Roman-style pizza and gelato! He was so nice in helping our two children and was the perfect host for our small group.

Christiana was fantastic! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and authentic. We learned how to make real Italian pizza from scratch and the creamiest gelato, both delicious! The class was perfectly paced, hands-on, and filled with laughter. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Rome, a highlight of our trip!

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.
