Experience Workshops 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 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 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! "

"Meeting Francesca and getting to make our own custom sandals in her workshop was one of our favorite experiences in Rome! So special to meet a female custom shoe maker and learn from her. She is there to assist through the steps of creating a pair of sandals uniquely yours. Throughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it. If you don’t have a rental car, I suggest using Uber to get to and from the Workshop that is a little out of the city center. "

"A woman artist in a man world… she is great and talented,the sandals are beautiful. Workroom organized and gave us the feeling to stay and work more. Also if you like tailored shoes she is the one…. Everybody loves tailored Italian shoes and these ones with a femme touch, we will order online soon. (Nop I am not her family and met her in the experience)"

"We made beautiful sandals and brought incredible souvenirs. All in all, it is an unforgettable experience. Francesca is very friendly and everything went very smoothly."

"I booked this activity as a surprise for the two ladies travelling with me (my wife and my niece). I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect before arriving however once we did, the ladies eyes just lit up. Francesca was so friendly and personable and welcomed us so graciously. The ladies were so happy with the directions and guidance Francesca provided in building and making their own special candles from Italy. Francesca is certainly a master craftsperson in her area of expertise (custom shoe and sandals). They both said this was by far their best part of of two week trip in Italy. That’s certainly saying something. "

"We had a fantastic pizza-making class with Massimo! He was patient with our busy boys and kept them engaged. Thank you for a fun and delicious experience!"

"Massimo hosted us in his home for a wonderful 2 hour pizza-making class. He kept our kids (7 and 9) engaged and involved in every step of the process, while answering any and all questions we had about Rome culture, history and cuisine. The pizza was delicious and the fried pizza balls were incredible. Would highly recommend this experience!"
