Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

Maurizio is a treasure. He is knowledgeable, personable, and just fun to be with. We had a wonderful night and it feels like he customized the tour just for us. Chin! Chin!

Awesome Maestro!!!!!

Gianluca and Michela were both super awesome chefs and helped us with every mistake we made!! the foot also ended up really good and they were super nice!

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.

Only if you want the absolute best day experience in Rome should you do this! 😊 Luka, our instructor, walked us step-by-step through the pizza making process with hands-on demonstrations and explanations for every step of the way! A lady, from Another family of four doing the class with us, exclaimed, “It doesn’t get any better than this!”, To which I said “No, it doesn’t.”… It was Epic! We had a family of 7, including a teen and a child of 10, in our group. Everyone enjoyed Themselves. Don’t forget it’s building number 11 so that you don’t pass by it!!
