Best pasta making class imaginable!! Home cooking with chefs! - Milvia and Andrea were the most wonderful hosts and teachers! We loved making pasta and sauces with them in their home. We learned so much and can't wait to try it all out. And what a treat to enjoy the actual pasta we made! We enjoyed their company as well--what an incredible experience. If we could give it 6 stars we would! The Cacio e Pepe, the Amatriciana, and the Carbonara were gorgeous--she walked us through all the steps. And handcutting our own fettucine was amazing. (We also used the pasta roller machine.) So much attention to detail--you can tell they are experienced instructors. Would 100% recommend this to anyone. We also appreciated doing the class midday so we could walk it off after eating SO much goodness. Andrea also took tons of pictures and emailed us the photos and recipes after. (Messy pasta making hands don't mix well with phones, so we were grateful he captured the moments!) Grazie mille, Andrea e Milvia!

We learned how to make a... - We learned how to make a range of pasta shapes and three specific pasta dishes, the environment is very personal and our hosts were amazing and took their time with us and gave us a ton of information. At the end we were able to eat our pasta in three dishes, have some wine, and a dessert and chat with our hosts which I throughly enjoyed. They are knowledgeable in history and very sweet and amazing people. I highly recommend this tour to learn and to enjoy some local culture. It is also a great break from the busy energy of Rome.

Authentic Roman Cooking Class - Excellent class ! I have homemade pasta many times before but still learned new tips , tricks and techniques I hadn’t ever heard of before! I loved being in a family kitchen. My husband and adult son very much enjoyed the class and thought everything was delicious.. This class was amazing. Had something for everybody for the people who have never done it before to those that may have considered themselves seasoned pasta makers.. I had signed up specifically to learn about these three sources and this class did not disappoint.! Lastly but most importantly what a wonderful family. We had slll arrived very tired but really enjoyed ourselves. My 21 year old said it was so much better than going out to dinner.. One of the highlights of our amazing experience in Rome.

Special Pasta Making Class in Rome! - We had an incredible evening with Andrea and Milvia! Learning how to make pasta dough from scratch, different pasta shapes and the Roman trio of pasta dishes was amazing, but being in Andrea and Milvia's home made it more special. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the conversation. Thank you for everything!
