Amazing cooking class, recommended! - Romina is super nice host and treasure well of useful and practical advices! We had amazing experience, made our own dinner and enjoyed it, paired with local wines. Romina was as hands-off as our skill levels allowed but took care to carefully guide us in all of the steps.

Memorable, Authentic, & Fun Rome Cooking Experience - Romina's pasta-making class was a real highlight of our week in Rome. My mother and I learned so much about the origins of and methods to creating some classic pasta dishes: ravioli filled roasted butternut squash and tonnarelli (a skinny flat noodle) with amatriciana sauce (guanciale, tomatoes). Romina was so warm, engaging, and knowledgeable. We felt as if we were at a friend's home -- who knows a ton about Italian ingredients and cooking! We also had fabulous wines paired with our creations and learned a lot about local food shopping. Whenever I visit Rome in the future, I will sign up for a class with Romina. We had some incredible food during our week but honestly, the most delicious thing I ate was the amatriciana we made in Romina's class!

Fun, educational, inspirational & delicious - what's not to like?! - What a fantastic few hours spent creating wonderful tasty dishes in Romina's beautiful kitchen! From the welcoming glasses of prosecco to the detailed, hands-on pasta making lesson, to the delicious meal and local wine, it was all amazing. Romina is so friendly, with amazing English and a lovely sense of humour. And just a stone's thrown from the Vatican too, so perfect for us. A great family activity...would thoroughly recommend it!

Perfect Food Evening - What a wonderful relaxing evening. Romina is a most welcoming, kind, gracious and knowledgeable host. All the tastiness of a great restaurant with the fun of a guided tour. The ambiance is wonderful too, cozy in the ancient grainery, and beautifully arranged. I wish we were here longer to do another class.

Genuine Experience. Excellent Pasta. - I had a fantastic time making pasta from scratch with Romina. Right from the very start, even upon walking into the doors of her building, it felt less like a "class" and more like a genuine experience as a guest inside someone's home. She has a lovely apartment near the Vatican and a beautiful area to cook inside. There were five of us + Romina, and we had two courses (we made two types of pasta from scratch). The wine she served us was excellent as well.
The pasta we made was one of the best that I had throughout our trip to Italy. I would absolutely go back again.

Relaxing, yet super interesting experience - I can only confirm the many excellent reviews: We booked the class as some friends had recommended it to us and we had a wonderful evening. Romina managed to strike a great mix of an interesting interactive cooking class embedded in a relaxed dinner party with delicious food and great wines.
The recipes she taught us are simple enough to recreate at home, yet fancy enough to stir up our usual routines and to surprise friends and family with something special. I especially loved all the tiny little tricks and details that even work for bringing your usual weekday dishes with shop-bought pasta to the next level.
Romina is a real professional with deep knowledge of her craft and an inspiring passion for food. And she’s such a warm-hearted and open host that gave us the feeling of being over at a friends place.
Treat yourselves to this class - You won’t regret it

Great instruction, great food, but no followup - The pasta-making training was excellent, and the results were delicious! I wish we had been able to make more of the sauces ourselves, and not just the pasta/ravioli, but there's probably too wide a range of backgrounds to make this practical. And I've emailed Romina for the promised recipes for two months now, but unfortunately haven't received a reply. :-)
