Loved this experience! Chef Francesco Was Amazing!

We had the most wonderful experience today at our cooking class! Chef Francesco was so impressive! He was genuinely so kind to our family and was so knowledgeable about the food we prepared. He broke everything down for us and encouraged us to try every part of the preparation! The kitchen was so nice and well organized! Plenty of space for our family of four! The food was so delicious and the variety was great. We cooked 3 different pastas and meat dish. We truly felt like this was the highlight of our trip to Rome! We all really enjoyed our time together! This is a must do experience and we are so happy we did it!! We totally recommend this experience to anyone!!

Lily is an excellent guide!

Lilly did a great job explaining and entertaining us for four hours. She also guided us through five courses and at least 7-8 items. Please come hungry!

Highlight of our trip!

This was a great experience. We started with a tour of the outdoor market and a few small shops to buy ingredients. The kitchen space was spacious and comfortable. Our instructors were friendly and fun. We learned so much! I will definitely be making pasta at home. Overall, this was our favorite experience of our trip.

Chef luca and team were incredible

The chefs were great the space is unique and loved the visit to the market and walk to the kitchen space through town. Definitely feel like we will recreate some of the pasta dishes when we are back home. The whole day was lovely ending in a delicious multicourse lunch!

Cooking experience

Roy our chef was amazing! Couldn’t rate this experience highly enough. Very personal cooking class where we shopped for the ingredients together in a quaint little town. The venue was an old castle beautifully decorated and the experience was a highlight. We can’t believe how good it all tasted and will definitely use these skills at home. For a personal, tasty experience look no further. Would definitely recommend it.

Amazing experience!

My boyfriend and I took the "Sunset Cooking Class in the Jewish Guetto" . It was an excellent experience! Being able to make pasta from scratch and being able to cook your meal in the kitchen and then eat it! The chef was great! and our tour guide Livia was the best! She made sure we understood what the chef was saying as she was our interpreter and she also made sure we had fun and always making sure our wine glasses were full! :) After the cooking class, you get to also taste some typical food and jewish deserts! We were so happy with the whole experience. We totally recommend this tour!

Absolutely wonderful experience!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience! The other participants didn’t show despite waiting 30 minutes for them so I got a private lesson. Luca was a wonderful teacher! And the food was delicious! I look forward to making pasta using what I learned.

Personal food and hospitality

Vittoria was our chef guide and a great host. We met right where directed and promptly had a pleasant tour of the open air market. She gave us her attention and shared plenty of Roman culinary knowledge. My wife is a great cook and learned many new skills. I’m ok in the kitchen and left feeling like I could cook a few fresh pasta dishes better than most Italian restaurants back home. It was nice to meet the company owner who came for a short visit. Fabio was both courteous and friendly respectful our or time in this wonderful food experience. One of the best parts was during the meal. Chef Vittoria sat with us for a while sharing her broad and deep knowledge of all things food. Go ahead and make some great food!

Operator response

Dear customer, thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt feedback of your experience in Rome with us! We're so glad that you spent quality time during this cooking class in Rome and that your wife too learned little secrets and techniques she didn't know about! Best regards, Gray Line Rome
