Amazing cooking class! - Amazing class! Accidentally was just us two so very personal class. Made pesto and pasta from scratch. Lots of tips to make at home. Absolutely brilliant to make our own dinner and then be served the food that we had made. Sara was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable and would highly recommend this class to anyone!

Nice workshop - I always wanted to learn to make pesto, and I heard in the original region of it there are some workshops, but I was only traveling to Rome, so I didn’t even think that this workshop existed. And it does! Thank you for teaching me how to make my favorite italian sauce and pasta!

Cooking pesto and pasta - This class was great, the kitchen was a true restaurant kitchen, clean, and air conditioned. Emilio was our chef/instructor. His directions were easy to understand and he made sure we had it down before moving on. He was even gracious enough to take pictures for us. I took this class with my son (18) who also loved it. Definitely a must do.

Perfect beginner class and evening activity for Rome - Bea was a great instructor easy to follow directions and nice conversation. After seven hours of touring Rome, it was the perfect end to our day. I was amazed at how easy it was to make pasta. The pesto tasted delicious. We are excited about being able to make our own pesto and pasta at home. We also appreciated it that our pesto and pasta was labeled so that we got to eat what we made.

Who Knew? - Making handmade pesto with pasta was spectacularly original! I eat pesto all the time, but never thought to make it myself. The chef was patient, helpful and highly resourceful to our diet-diverse small group. I'm glad we booked it. The pesto sauced pasta we made tasted delicious. We'll re-live this vacation highlight again and again when we make our own homemade pesto and pasta.
