Gotta do this cooking class

We got blessed up with Marco as our cook instructor. He was absolutely phenomenal, engaging, funny, and overall a great instructor. We made amazing ravioli, spaghetti, tiramisu, and polished off quite a bit of wine. My family absolutely loved it.

Fun and Tasty

This class was really fun, highlighting basic cooking techniques with high quality locally sourced ingredients. The head chef Alessandro is a great teacher and made sure everyone was having a good time. The food was really tasty in the end (totally not influenced by the bottomless wine)!

Fantastic!

This was my absolute favorite activity of all the things we did in Rome! The venue was stunning, right by a piazza, and everything was perfectly prepared—no waiting around, all the equipment and ingredients ready to go. The chefs were incredibly friendly, full of knowledge, and made the whole experience both fun and useful for the future. I honestly can’t praise this course enough. Loved every moment of it!
