Well worth it, would love to come again! Perfect for adults and children alike, this class is poignant and fun. Led by professional chefs, this professional kitchen is upstairs, off a side street of a main piazza and not terribly far from the Pantheon (to help acclimate the location). First, meet nearby and be led a short distance to the actual site. Chefs show concern for safety and allergies/cross-contamination but be sure to make them aware of this ahead of time to give them a fair chance to prepare. Soda, water or wine are included. You'll be a full participant in the creation, no demonstrations where your time is limited to assist. The pizza (with array of toppings to choose to use) and gelato outcomes were fabulous, and recipes are provided at the end. Would recommend children to be at least elementary school age to really participate.

Amazing authentic experience Such an amazing class! We did the shared Pizza & Gelato making class. This was one of our favourite things we did in Italy! We did it with our children (4&7yrs of age). We also ended up paired with another lovely family with children the same age. It was such a fun evening!
The instructor was amazing, he encouraged the kids to do everything on their own. There was so much fun & laughter. Everything was perfectly organized. The food turned out amazing. We can't wait to recreate the recipes now that we are back home! We did this on our last night in Rome and it was a perfect ending to our trip.

A Wonderful Roman Experience We (party of 4 including grandparents and teenager) took a class in pasta making with 3 sauces. It was very interesting but also very fun. A very relaxed atmosphere and a wonderful teacher/chef in Giulio. The lesson is the first part and at the end we sat and ate our dishes - much more food than we needed, of course. Just wonderful!
