Great cooking class with Lily - Lily was such a great guide. She explained everything really well and made our cooking experience very fun. It was about a two hour cooking experience.

Delicious, fun and we stuffed!! - We initially had trouble finding our class…the tour guy gave us a bad meet up address. After deep diving we found the correct address. Natallia was waiting and watching for us and made us feel welcome immediately. Chef was fabulous. It felt like we were cooking with family. We made pasta and zucchini blossoms and then helped with the sauces. We then lingered over a lovely dinner.

Memory of a lifetime - This experience was exactly what I had hoped. Hands on, wonderful teacher, wonderful company. One unexpected and very pleasant surprise was that the Gourmetaly host actually joined us and visited with us the whole time. She took photos for us, entertained us with jokes and charming company, and then joined us for the meal with interesting anecdotes and trip advice. My partner and I had an incredible vacation in Rome and yet despite all the amazing ruins and vistas this experience was easily in our Top 3 of the week. A memory that I'll never forget.

Fantastic Cooking class! - This was an amazing cooking class! Clelia was an amazing host and Gabriel a fantastic chef! They kept our wine glasses full as we learned how to make the perfect plate of Cacio e Pepe! Gabriel gave encouraging instructions as Clelia translated and took pictures of our progress! We had a really good experience and would love to do it again! Highly recommend!

A Must in Rome! - This was a welcome change from touring museums! Our guide Benedetta did a great job curating the experience for my family of four (teens are 13 & 15). Although I arrived flustered because the experience began 20 min late due to some miscommunication, she maintained such a positive disposition and brought me out of my funk (which is not easy to do). We learned a lot about not only the Jewish ghetto but other aspects of the current life of locals in Rome. The pasta an other dishes were delicious and it was a perfect way to end our evening. If there’s no Italian music playing, ask them to turn it on - a much better ambiance with the delicious wine they serve! Thank you for an authentic Roman experience.

Beautiful evening in the Jewish Ghetto - We had a great time learning how to make pasta. A special treat to have the Chef allow us in the kitchen to be instructed in how to make 2 beautiful pasta dishes - cacio e pepe & amatriciana. Isabella was so helpful and a good host as she translated the Chef's instructions and joined us as we ate a beautiful meal that we helped make. I highly recommend this experience!

Highlight of our trip! - This pasta making class was great fun for both my 11-year old son and myself. It was highly personalised - we were just the two of us! The host was charming, the chef was enthusiastic and we actually learned new skills - a perfect recipe for great bonding time. Plus we got to eat delicious food!

Great meal, great time! - Our entire family (parents, teens, grandparents) absolutely LOVED this class. Our host first gave us a quick neighborhood tour. Then we arrived a the restaurant, and had so much fun preparing our meal. Making pasta by hand from scratch was easier and more fun that I would have ever imagined. We took our pasta to the kitchen, and prepared the entire meal. Topped off with som great wine! +
