  • Magical atmosphere

Rated 4.3 out of 5, this Rome cooking class wins consistent praise for its warm, sociable atmosphere and entertaining, patient instructors who make everyone feel at ease. Guests highlight the hands-on pasta making as a genuine highlight, though some felt the gelato section could offer more involvement. Larger group sizes occasionally made things feel a little cramped, but most found the lively energy added to the fun.

  • Wonderful experience. Anna was terrific.

  • I dragged my bf to this pasta & gelato class and honestly, we both LOVED it way more than we thought. Chef Valentina was hilarious, made everyone feel like we were just friends hanging out, not a formal class. The pasta dough was tricky at first (my arms got a workout rolling it, lol) but hers turned out so smooth. I accidentally cracked an egg on the table and nobody even blinked, just laughed and helped me clean it up. The gelato part was my fave—chocolate with sea salt, which I never woulda tried if she hadn’t suggested it. We were with a couple from Brazil and a family with kids, and everyone got involved. The room was a bit warm but there was plenty of water. We ate everything we made, and even got seconds! Def recommend if you want something hands-on and DELICIOUS in Rome.

  • Fun class, pretty chill vibe overall. We were a group of 12 so it felt a bit crowded at the tables but that made it more lively. The chef, Marco, kept it moving and explained every step (even if his English was a bit wobbly sometimes, but we got it). Making ravioli was harder than Youtube makes it look, haha. Gelato demo was cool but we didn’t actually get to churn it ourselves. Still, tasting the finished product made up for it. Good for couples or even solo. Would’ve liked a bit more time to eat at the end but we had to be out for the next group. Still worth it!

  • It was a fantastic experience that my daughter and I will aleays remember fondly.

  • Took my mom for her birthday and it was such a unique thing to do. The chef (Giada, I think?) was super patient with us and kept the jokes coming. My tagliatelle came out a bit lumpy but tasted soooo good with their house pesto sauce. The class moved at a good pace, not rushed. My mom loved learning the gelato secrets—she’s already planning to try it at home. Nice group, international crowd. FYI, can’t take pics during the actual gelato churning but we got plenty after. Would do it again!

  • It was pretty decent. Pasta making is fun but honestly I expected more hands-on for the gelato part. Also, a bit toooo many people in the class, so I felt like we were bumping elbows a lot. The staff were friendly and the food tasted fresh. If you’re looking for something different from the usual sightseeing, worth a shot, just maybe not on a super hot day.

  • Went solo and had a blast. Met a couple from Canada and a group of friends from Ireland. The instructor, Luca, was bubbly and kept us all chatting. Pasta was surprisingly easy (with help). Gelato was creamy but I wish we could’ve tried more flavors. A bit warm inside but they had fans. Bring your appetite!

  • I booked this for my husband and 2 teens (14 & 16) and it exceeded my expectations! The chef was so energetic, kept everyone involved (even my shy son). We made fettuccine and ravioli, plus strawberry gelato. My daughter got flour everywhere and the chef just laughed and showed her how to knead it right. The best part was eating together at the end, wine for us and juice for the kids. Class was about 2.5 hours, didn’t feel rushed. Perfect family activity.

  • Had so much fun! We did this on a whim after wandering Rome all day and it was the highlight. Chef Paolo is a LEGEND—his stories about his grandma’s recipes made it feel special. The hands-on part was messy but that’s half the fun. The tiramisu gelato was insane (never knew you could make that). It’s more relaxed than a formal class, just good vibes and cooool people.
