Experience Cooking classes in the best of
Rome with Withlocals

"We booked an evening pasta-making session with Giovanni and Claudia, and my wife, daughter, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Giovanni and Claudia paid extraordinary attention to every detail and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They truly made us feel like part of their family and at home throughout the entire experience. The pasta was absolutely delicious, and the whole evening was a wonderful way to experience authentic Roman family life. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable local experience in Rome. The icing on the cake was that they shared the pasta recipe with us in writing, so we can recreate it when we get back home. We can’t wait to make it again! Thank you, Giovanni and Claudia, for your warm hospitality and for creating such a special memory for our family."

"We had the most wonderful time in Massimo’s kitchen. Was a very welcoming and local experience! We appreciated all his stories, anecdotes, and recommendations. Would highly recommend for any experience. Was a true Roman cooking class - the carbonara better than any we had in all of Rome!"

"We loved our experience with Massimo. He invited us into his family home, stepped us through family recipes and the history behind them, and shared his insights into life in Rome and recommendations of other must-see sites. His dishes were delicious – among the best meals we've had – and he provided tips on how to recreate them when back home. An experience we will remember. Highly recommended!"

"We had a wonderful and still cosy evening with Roberto! Atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Good teaching, honouring also our wishes. Food was delicious. Make us want to make pasta on our own! We already bought a rolling pin! "

"We had a great pleasure to learn a lot about a real Rome pizza, go through every step of making the best pizza ever and enjoyed eating it so much!!! Massimo explained the process in a very interesting way. We could see how much he loves it, learned about small pizzas which his grandma used to make for Christmas! It was an unforgettable experience! And we highly recommend it! "

"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 "

"Massimo not only shared his family recipes and kitchen but shared one of our favorite memories of the trip! Having our children make pizza together and enjoy every bite of their work was a core memory. Thank you, Massimo! "

"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! "

"My husband and I had the best time learning to make pasta, Roman cookies, and pasta sauce with Roberto. His home is so welcoming and the dinner was delicious! We had never done anything like this class and were so so glad we booked it (especially with Roberto!). "
