Great experience - We had so much fun cooking in Roma. It’s perfect for all interested in eating well, immersing in Italian culture (food!!) and a great chance to escape the heat at midday! We were disappointed at first that Riccardo wouldn’t be conducting the cooking class however, we were pleased the chef was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging!

Chef Riccardo’s class was Amazing! - Riccardo’s class was AWESOME! My family went and we had the best time learning how to make homemade pasta with 3 classic Roman sauces! Chef showed us lots of cool techniques that even I a relatively good cook, learned a lot from! He showed us wine and cheese pairings and overall the vibes were so good! I also loved his new cooking lab! Everything was state of the art and made you feel like a real chef! I give you the highest recommendation to take Chef Riccardo’s cooking class either with a friend/significant other, or bring the whole family! Bon Appetite!

Handmade pasta in Roma - The room was neat and nice. I love the working table, space was well planned and very organized. I love how the wash area was very accessible. We didn't have a hard time locating the studio. The community was very homey. I personally liked the handmade pasta the most coz back in the Philippines we mostly use instant pasta. The recipe we made looked simple but the taste was really amazing paired with a Prosecco. The tiramisu was a nice ending. This is a must try when in Rome, definitely!

A must do - Wonderful time and delicious results. Class size wasn’t too big or too long and it was probably the best meal we had in all of our travels through Italy.

Food, fun and family - We are a family of 7 and for most (the kids) this was their first cooking class. They were interested in learning about the ingredients and to how to make their own pasta, especially carbonara. William was patient with everyone and provided guidance and made it fun for all. We are still trying to find carbonara as good as the one we made in our class! The only thing I wished Ricardo continued with, the comfort and atmosphere of Nona’s kitchen vs the cooking lab. The kitchen is where we gather for family dinners.
