Enjoy a two-hour Italian cooking class in Rome at Cristina’s charming garden home, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees. Begin your culinary journey with a selection of local aperitifs, including bruschetta, salami, cheese, olives, and a glass of Prosecco Valdobbiadene. Learn to cook authentic Italian dishes using family recipes, traditional techniques, and fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Choose from making two types of fresh pasta, such as bucatini, spaghetti alla chitarra, rigatoni, or fettuccine with a classic sauce and crostata, or preparing handmade ravioli, potato gnocchi, and gelato. After your hands-on cooking session, sit down to enjoy the delicious meal you prepared, paired with a glass of local wine, in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of a Roman home. This Rome cooking class is perfect for travelers seeking an authentic, immersive culinary experience and a taste of Italian culture in a local setting.

"We spent an afternoon in Cristina’s beautiful, tranquil home learning to make ravioli, gnocchi, and gelato—and it was the highlight of our trip. Cristina is warm, patient, and incredibly organized; everyone had hands-on time and the dishes were absolutely delicious. It felt like cooking with family while getting pro tips you can actually use at home. Whether you’re a beginner or confident in the kitchen, this experience is a must in Rome. Highly recommend!"
