My sole reason to come to Rome was to learn how to cook pasta and pasta related dishes, this class did not disappointed. This was far and away the best class I took, hands down. Riccardo was extremely fun and patient. He makes the class entertaining while informative. I would take this class over and over again if I could. I couldn’t recommend this enough.

The highlight of Rome, don’t miss it!

Heather_H, May 2024

An absolutely wonderful experience. William taught the class last night & Ricardo joined towards the end. William was knowledge, kind & addressed individual needs. He was also a lot of fun, as was the entire group who attended. We loved interacting with the 6 others who were in our group! The pasta & sauces were amazing!! I can’t believe we made pasta in 4 forms. We learned a great deal about sauces, tips only chefs would know. Every bite was delicious, I couldn’t finish it all, but I will remember the experience always!

Superb!

Ryan_M, May 2024

Excellent class!

Scott_L, Apr 2024

We loved this class! It exceeded expectations and worth the time and money. Both chefs were very helpful and funny. We loved all the information they shared and how hands on the class was.

Cooking Class in Rome

Kathryn_W, Apr 2024

The cooking class with William was the highlight of our trip to Rome. We learned so much about pasta and sauce making. And we also learned a lot about Italian culture. William is an engaging, fun and thorough teacher. It was easy to get to the location by taxi, and there is a taxi stand at the end of the block which made the return a breeze too. I highly recommend this class! Grazie, William!

Fantastic experience

Kylie_D, Apr 2024

Riccardo and William were so fantastic. It was a three hour class and we had so much fun. Learnt so much and had 3 beautiful types of pasta for dinner. Would go again.

Great Pasta Class in Rome

David_S, Apr 2024

Riccardo was very friendly and approachable. He also had a sense of humour. He was an excellent and generous host. He was patient in answering questions. His instructions were clear and the three dishes of pasta we made were delicious. The class is suitable for all levels. The length of the class is just right. All in all, a great experience!

Best part of our trip to Italy

Carolina_B, Apr 2024

This was our favorite part of our honeymoon! This class was fun and informative. The dishes were absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, funny and attentive. 10/10

Great experience!

Valerie_Q, Apr 2024

This was such a great experience, and I can’t wait to try the recipes at home. My daughter loved it and learned a lot. She loves cooking, so she really loved this class. I love that they showed us how to make the sauces as well as the pasta. The instructors were great. Very friendly and easy to talk to. Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Definitely recommend.

Delicious, fun, and informative.

EmnRoz_R, Apr 2024

A wonderful class with a wonderful host. The kitchen was great with lots of room for everyone to leran and participate. Riccardo was funny, sweet, and a very knowledgeable chef. Everyone felt like new friends by the end if the evening and we had an amazing meal. We can't wait to recreate the same meal back at home.

Top Notch & Must-do Cooking Class!!!

Dounya_M, Apr 2024

What a fabulous cooking class!!! My husband and I attended this cooking class with two of our kids, one 11 and the other 20. There were a total of 7 of us. A lovely group. William and Riccardo were patient, thorough, and overall absolutely WONDERFUL teachers! We came away feeling confident that we can successfully recreate much of what we prepared tonight: three different delicious pastas and sauces. They made everything so easy and enjoyable. The entire class spanned about 3-1/2 hours start to finish - it flew by. I cannot recommend this class enough.. truly spectacular and SO WORTH DOING!! It’ll be the highlight of your trip to Rome!!!

The Best Cooking Class in Rome

george_g, Mar 2024

William lead our Lesson, we did Meet and talk to Ricardo as well. Both were very nice amd great to talk to you. We made Carbonara, talligate in pasta sauce, ravioli & Tortellini in butter and sage. The ingredients all fresh and the best. What a lunch. 3 courses. And learned how to do sauces the main part. We used Guitar and other fun kitchen tools. It was great experience and recommend 100x. Super fun.

Best cooking class and meal in Rome!

Sara_E, Mar 2024

Take a cab or bus to Monte Verde and take this class! Riccardo and his chef were so welcoming and charming. Every detail was intentional. We all participated in making 3 types of pasta and 3 classic Roman sauces. We were busy the whole time - cooking, asking questions, sample cheese and wine, and eating hearty portions of each dish, plus a light dessert. They made sure we were really learning how to knead, roll, and cut pasta. It was the best food we ate in Rome, hands down, and the best family bonding experience of our trip. A memory to last a lifetime! It also felt great to support a small business, rather than a large tour company. They answered all of our questions at the end of the meal about travel and cooking, and then called us cab rides. Riccardo said he sources ingredients from small farms as well. 5 star experience!

Fun, instructive, delicious

Elias_N, Mar 2024

Very frendly, professional and informative course. Had William as instructor which was super nice and an amazing chef but Riccardo also came by with nice tips!

Delightful experience

Camille_G, Mar 2024

Outstanding evening. Riccardo and William were friendly, fun, and had the most delicious food and wine for us. The pastas and sauces were excellent and accessible (easy enough to make that I could try the recipes at home). Highly recommend this class to others who want a delightful experience and delicious food!

Delicioso

Allison_L, Mar 2024

The whole experience was so much fun, William was awesome. It was an intimate class with 7 people. We thoroughly enjoed making fresh pasta and 3 simple delicious sauces! I highly recommend this!!!’

Thank you, Riccardo

Cameron_G, Feb 2024

Accessible. Fun. Delicious. Three pastas, four sauces, Prosecco and wine...what's not to love! Most importantly, I feel confident I can replicate (somewhat) at home.

Great, Authentic, Fun

Paul_S, Jan 2024

Being a solo traveler, there’s also a little apprehension about an experience in someone’s home in a foreign country. Riccardo’s professionalism, hospitality, and enthusiasm quickly erased any anxiety I had felt. The experience of making pasta correctly for the first time was amazing. The sauces were very traditional, Roman, and, again, a standard for me to try to approach back in the USA. The “studio” in his grandmother’s home was bright, clean, professional. Every ingredient and tool we needed was provided. Experiencing/eating the food we had prepared real highlights. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Best in Rome

Spencer_S, Jan 2024

My family had such a great time with Riccardo. He is a great teacher, engaging, and taught us to make great pasta. Worth your time and money!

Master chef shares his secrets

Richard_L, Jan 2024

We had a marvelous time with Riccardo and 6 fellow travelers. I made spaghetti, fettuccine and ravioli for the first time, and it actually looked and tasted good. What I liked best was Riccardo’s emphasis on sauces. We did 2, plus a ricotta filling for the ravioli. Would absolutely do it again.

Warm and welcoming evening

Lyssa_C, Nov 2023

We've done cooking classes in multiple cities....this class stands out as the best. Ricardo was an amazing chef and teacher. His property is warm and welcoming. Group size is small. We made our own pasta and Ricardo was open to attendee requests when it was something they wanted to make. His wine choices were very good as well. Great evening...would even do the same classes again.
