Culinary Experiences and Cooking Classes in Rome

We loved our morning with Chef making three different kinds of pasta and sauces from scratch. And, of course, the best was eating them!

We have had a very special cooking experience with Miguela, including shopping for our meal at the market. Miguela was lovely, professional and knowledgeable and patient explaining any questions. The location was great with a beautiful kitchen and dining room. I highly recommend this experience.

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.

We really enjoyed our cooking class with Giulio. Pizza, gelato and tiramisu tasted delicious and he was a great teacher! Thank you!

We took a cooking class with Alessandro today—my husband and I plus our three kids (16, 13, and 11)—and it was an absolute hit! We were joined by one other guest and spent three wonderful hours learning and cooking together in a calm, air-conditioned space (a perfect escape from the heat wave!). Alessandro was welcoming, knowledgeable, and great with both adults and kids. We made cacio e pepe, amatriciana, and homemade gelato (coffee and Nutella was the crowd favourite). Highly recommend this experience—fun, delicious, and memorable. Fingers crossed our cacio e pepe and gelato turn out just as good at home!
