One of my favorite things I did on my vacation to Italy. The atmosphere was authentic and the crew was so nice and welcoming. Not to mention, the food was amazing! I highly recommend. I wish I could do it again and again.

Contemplating coming back to Italy just to do it again

Susan_D, Apr 2024

What a wonderful experience! Very good service, great atmosphere, would come back to Italy just to take the class again. Eduardo was a great teacher and Alesandro drove us safely there and back with even a good laugh here and there. Highly recommend!

Fantastic

Pearl_F, Apr 2024

The location and venue were fantastic, very rustic and authentic vibe. Our chef was very friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. We enjoyed great pizza and pastas made with our own hands!! Plus the wine, limoncello and tiramisu were great too. We’d highly recommended this class!!

Great time with Eduardo....

Great time with Eduardo. Very personable & very helpful with others that didn’t catch on so quick…………..

Delicious pizza! Great chef !

Heidy_S, Mar 2024

Most delicious pizza !!! It was an amazing experience that my 4year old daughter highly enjoyed. She also ate her entire Heart margarita pizza. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot from the chef !

Awesome pizza and pasta class in Rome

Daniel_M, Jan 2024

Great experience as a family making our own pizza and pasta from scratch , and to taste our own creations at the end was the icing on the cake . Loved learning the basics and the reasoning behind it all . Well recommended!

Excellent!

Jamie_P, Dec 2023

This class was so much fun! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! The class was fun and the instructor was knowledgeable and funny! I would definitely recommend this class!

Check for new meeting times!

Daniel_S, Dec 2023

I would still recommend this to a friend because I thin it would have been fun, even though we didn't make it to the class. Apparently, the meeting time was changed 15 minutes ahead of the original time, and I did not receive that information. From my watch, we were at the location before the group left, but when I finally got a response from the chat on the app after about 10 minutes, it was already too late. This was after a $30 taxi ride to the metro station. They then suggested we get to the location ourselves which would have been another 20 minute cab ride. Why not just give us the address of the location in the first place, rather than meeting at the metro station? My advice is to double and triple check the times right up to the meeting time. We have had multiple tours where they have changed the times on us. No refund on this one, so we're out $180.

Save your money and YouTube - how to make a pizza or how to make pasta

Mark_D, Dec 2023

The photos depict the "outhouse" we had to use. The staff was very polite but the lesson plan was not well prepared. They did have the dough ready but that is all we did. We shaped the ball of dough into a pizza crust, put their toppings on it and then baked it - Basically, I had a pizza with the toppings I wanted. The pasta was premade all we did was roll it out. We did not "Learn" anything. It would have been better if they provided a recipe, explain the ingredients (differences in flour and why certain ingredients), and then we practice making that recipe. We didn't even have any hand in making any sauce - again, something I would like to have learned and a skill I wanted to bring home.

Meh - not worth it

Ann_M, Dec 2023

November 2023 - This experience was just okay. It did not meet my expectations. For reference, my family has done cooking classes before, a Paella class in Barcelona, and a three-course meal class in Vienna. In our other experiences, all the cooking tasks were completed by the participants, all participants were assigned tasks. The other experiences were more hands-on and the meals were made by the participants with the assistance of the head chef/instructor. In this class, the participants pressed out our dough and added toppings for the pizza-making portion. The instructor then rearranged our toppings for no apparent reason. We slid our dough into the oven but weren't able to be a part of the cooking process. For the pasta making, we mixed the dough and made the shapes. The instructor then cooked the pasta, made the sauce, and mixed the pasta and sauce while we sat there. This was a miss by the company, it could have been much better. In addition, the cost was high and the location was too far from Rome's city center. Not worth it.

Amazing must do

Isabella_D, Dec 2023

Amazing people and vibe!! Would definitely recommend. Outside of the city and a great little hideaway. Took class around dinner time

The pizza we made was the...

Casandra_A, Nov 2023

The pizza we made was the best pizza ive ever had! The pasta was also so delicious. The chefs were great!

Amazing Pizza

JoAnna_P, Nov 2023

The pizza was fantastic. The staff was warm and friendly. A nice touch was they picked you up at the metro station so it was easy to ride the B line to the end.

A good way to spend an evening in Rome!

Angela_J, Nov 2023

The cooking class itself was super fun and we had a great time. The teacher was nice and answered lots of questions. I do wish we had gotten a printed piece about the kinds of pasta we made and the recipes considering how much the class costs. I know I can google the correct ratios of flour, but still. Took off a star for that, but if it isn't important to you to cook at home, don't worry about it. I took off a second star because if you are taking the night class for dinner, transportation seems extremely sketchy. My husband and I took a $40 USD taxi to the meeting spot because it is miles outside the city. It is a sketchy subway station with lots of odd activity. We found the person holding the sign for the class and we were ushered into a smelly van around the corner with another couple and no one said a word for the 15 minute drive to the class. I was terrified that this wasn't legitimate and it honestly felt like we were about to go missing. As soon as we got to the class everything was completely fine, fun, and we relaxed immediately. Just know if you take the class at night, everything will be okay and it is legit! I highly recommend using Rome's subway system to get here. We took the subway back to the hotel after class and it was cheap and easy.

The best experience!

Emilia_F, Oct 2023

Couldn’t recommend it enough. The staff were incredibly friendly and are clearly very proud of their heritage and were more than willing to share it with us. I had a fantastic time!! Definitely worth the price and I think everyone else agreed.

Amazing class

Jennifer_M, Oct 2023

We wanted to learn how to make Pizza and Pasta, and this class did not disappoint! The location was amazing, the chefs were funny and very knowledgeable. The food and wine was perfect! I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn from the pros.

Nice rustic location with good facilities

Saira_D, Oct 2023

We really enjoyed this trip it was in quite a remote location which we liked, you do get taken there from the metro stop so it is easy to get there. It is a very cute, rustic set-up the instructor was very good and we enjoyed a good range of food that we had cooked I would recommend this trip

must do while in rome

gary_r, Oct 2023

hands on experience and eating your dishes after . great teachers and chefs great tour . the experience was very helpful in preparing pasta and pizza and was taught how to make from start to finish very happy

Overpriced, miles out of town (expensive to get there by cab). Pasta part of the evening very underwhelming.

bonnie_p, Oct 2023

The lady who taught the pizza-making part of the night was sincere and invested in teaching us. The second part (how to make pasta) was taught by a young woman who was obviously on auto-pilot mode and did not take time to make it an enjoyable evening. I would not recommend this evening.

Sisters Trip-pizza/pasta making experience

Tracey_C, Sep 2023

My sisters and I decided on this Master Class not knowing what to expect. Let me just say, it met expectation!!!! The pizza and pasta instruction was phenomenal. It was a nice, quaint place as well. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again!☺️
