Best Highlight of Rome - Aria was amazing and she showed us the process of making many different pastas which we our selves made with her instruction. It was an amazing experience such a beautiful lady to open up her home and teach us her wonderful pasta dishes and the apps were so yummy as well.

Comfort Food with “Family” - Ilaria was amazing! She made us feel so welcome and at home from the moment she greeted us in her home. The food we made was delicious! Her ingredients so fresh and easy to find when we want to make the recipe on our own. The recipe is also quite easy to follow. This was hands down the BEST part of our trip to Rome, specifically Trastevere. Many thanks, Ilaria!

Food was Yummy and Pasta Incredible! - Wonderful small group cooking class with pasta, tiramisu, and an appetizer. Three kinds of pasta were made so we really got some experience with rolling, cutting, and shaping. It was really good and seems like the skills we learned can be replicated at home! And we learned some ideas for sauces that were unexpected! The food was yummy!!!

The Most Authentic Cooking Experience in Rome - This cooking class in Trastevere was easily one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Rome. The moment we walked into Aria’s beautiful home, it didn’t feel like a tourist activity at all. It felt like being welcomed into a real Roman family home. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and incredibly authentic. Aria and her husband were wonderful hosts. They made everyone feel comfortable immediately. Her husband had a fantastic sense of humor and such a positive attitude that the whole class felt fun and relaxed from the beginning. Aria was an excellent teacher. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she patiently showed us every step of the cooking process. During the class we learned how to prepare several traditional Italian dishes, including Cacio e Pepe, Pasta alla Norma, fresh ravioli with ricotta and spinach filling, homemade tomato sauce, vegetable batter, and an incredible Tiramisu. Everything felt authentic and hands-on. We laughed, cooked together, shared stories, and enjoyed the food we made in a beautiful Roman home. I was enjoying myself so much that time flew by. If you want something genuine, personal, and memorable in Rome, this is an experience I highly recommend. Aria is an incredible host and this class feels more like spending an evening with friends than attending a cooking class. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A must do! - Cooking with Ilaria was one of the highlights of our trip! I chose this class over so many others because of the reviews and they were spot on! You are welcomed into her home and family like long time friends. We learned how to make pasta from a professional and can’t wait to use our new skills at home. Choose this class, you won’t regret it!

BEST part of the Honeymoon - Ahh life has been busy post honeymoon but we still think about this experience at least weekly… truly the best part of our honeymoon! They are the ABSOLUTE best! True gems. It felt like we were with long lost family/friends. We also still use her recipes today when cooking from scratch back here in the U.S. Without a doubt if we can visit again we will be reaching out to see if we can do another class. We promise this is worth booking - we encourage it!!! If you truly want an authentic experience and learn Italian recipes/cooking… this is it… not the large class style. And don’t worry, if you’re wanting to drink, wine is provided :)
