Amazing experience - I love to make pasta at home and wanted to attend a cooking class that would improve my skills and show me the whole process from beginning to end. I did a lot of research and chose Riccardo’s cooking class as he also shows you how to make the sauces whereas other classes showed you how to make the pasta only. The class size was a max of 11 people which was fantastic. This class did not disappoint, we made 3 different pasta’s and sauces. Riccardo shared a lot of tips and tricks & shared the recipes we made so we can replicate the dishes at home. The pasta tasted absolutely delicious, even better than other pasta’s I had tried in Rome. It was an unforgettable experience & a highlight of my trip. 100% recommend!!

A Perfect Experience! - We enjoyed our cooking class so much! Riccardo is funny, skilled, and did an excellent job in teaching us the skills we were hoping for! We sampled many wines and ate three delicious pastas and sauces, leaving there stuffed and satisfied with the best food of our trip! We would highly recommend this!

One of the best experiences in Rome. A 10+ - Absolutely sensational in every aspect. Riccardo is knowledgable, personable, entertaining and thoroughly delightful. The class was well organized, recipes easy to follow. We got to eat that which the class made- absolutely delicious and filling. (As in didn't want to eat the rest of the day- we were at the late morning class.) Mustn't forget the paired drinks before and between pasta courses. Came home, pulled out my old pasta machine, ordered my flour on line and I'm good to go.

Fantastic class - Really fun class. Guglielmo was a fantastic teacher and we had a really nice group. We learnt how to make 3 Roman pasta dishes from scratch, which we then ate (along with delicious wine). Great company and delicious food!

You should try this! - That was a really good experience! We had fun learning to make 3 types of pasta and 3 sauces. It was William who taught us that day. Our dinner with 3 different wines was delicious and we got a sweet surprise at the end. So I can recommend to try this activity when in Rome! You'll like it for sure!

Great time - The pasta class was very enjoyable. There were 11 guests and 1 instructor with 1 helper. Seamless transitions between the 3 pasta and 3 sauce techniques. We learned valuable cooking info and feel confident we could replicate at home.

An absolute must do - Our host William was terrific. Friendly, happy, informative throughout all sections of our session. We wanted to learn how to make “authentic” pasta and we walked away anxious to have our next dinner party as a pasta extravaganza. The techniques and “da love” was passed on to us and a totally enjoyable experience was had. Go team William!!!!!
