"Massimo was excellent with the kids getting them right in there making pasta and they loved it! He also shared lots of great tips along the way. Highly recommended "
"The chef has a cute apartment in a great part of a city. He was amazing with our teenage children, guiding them through the preparation and keeping them entertained with eloquent stories of history of Roman culinary art. We also got some amazing tips for day-to-day cooking. And, of course, the food was excellent!
Highly recommend the experience! "
"Dinner with Maria Gloria was like having dinner with a friend you haven’t seen in awhile! We were greeted with a hug and she seemed just as excited to see us as we were to see her! The whole evening was absolutely wonderful! Donatella and Francesco made a most wonderful meal and we all shared the meal around the table. I fell head over heels in love with Rome and can’t wait to come back! We will definitely have dinner with Maria Gloria again! Thank you, Maria Gloria, Donatella, and Francesco for an evening I will never forget 🇮🇹🥰"

"We had a wonderful time cooking with Massimo! My son really enjoyed participating in the cooking. It was fun and interactive- and delicious! We are looking forward to making the recipes at home as well! Thanks so much for a great experience!"
"During our recent visit to Rome, we participated in a risotto cooking workshop led by Massimo, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip! Massimo welcomed us into his beautiful classic apartment, located just a stone's throw from the Colosseum. Although the apartment is considered 'new' by Roman standards at 150 years old, it exudes the charm and history of the city.
Massimo is not only a master in the kitchen but also an exceptionally friendly and engaging storyteller. As he taught us the art of making risotto, he shared fascinating stories about daily life in Rome and the cultural differences between northern and southern Italy. His stories were so captivating that, inspired by his anecdotes, we decided never to buy Barilla pasta again, just like him! ;-)
His perfect command of the English language allowed us to have truly enjoyable and in-depth conversations. The cozy atmosphere was completed with a delightful glass of wine with the meal.
And now the most important part: did we learn anything from the workshop? Absolutely! Massimo provided us with countless tips and tricks. Making risotto may not be complicated, but it does require constant attention and care. Thanks to Massimo, we now feel confident in making the perfect risotto at home.
We highly recommend Massimo to anyone looking for a unique and educational culinary experience in Rome. Grazie mille, Massimo!"
"I'm never ever going to buy ready made pasta sauce now that we learned from Massimo how easy and fun is to cook a delicious three course meal from scratch in no time.
Me my wife and my 12, 15 and 24 y/o children had a blast cooking together with massimo and learning in the mean time about ingredients, history and bits and pieces of fun information.
A couple of days after our "cooking lesson" we tried at home and made the most delicious Carbonara by ourselves.
Cooking is fun and is a good way to spend family time.
Thank you Massimo for your time and interesting conversation.
"
"I really enjoyed my time with Giovanni and Claudia! The food was good and the company was better. I speak Italian and my wife doesn't and they seamlessly were able to handle transitioning between languages without having her feel left out. 10/10 would do it again."
"We had an amazing experience with Massimo.
We learned a lot during the Carbonara and more cooking lesson, not only about cooking, but also about Rome&Italy. Massimo explained everything very well.
Next time in Rome, we will definitely book another experience with Massimo! Grazie mille"
