Si chef!! - One of the best bits of our trip! Our guide and chef were incredible. We were with one other couple so it was a very personal and authentic experience- topped off by plenty of wine and even some singing! We love our aprons and certificates as soveneirs. The tour through the old Jewish ghetto was very impactful also and an unexpected bonus!

Great Experience - My partner loved this so much. It was also one of her favorite meals in Rome.
The guide was lovely. She really took care of us. The chef was super friendly. There isn't anything to complain about it at all.

Phenomenal Food Venture - All of the experience was phenomenal! The personable staff and wonderful food were the best experience in Italy so far! My friends and I cannot recommend this experience enough- between the helpful hints in our food ventures (or misadventurous turns) and the laughs shared over seemingly endless wine, the time will remain to be my highlight in Italy!

Wonderful family experience - Fun evening. Traveling with two teenage granddaughters and they enjoyed it. Was supposed to include a short walking tour of the Jewish ghetto which didn't happen.
Group was not too large and everyone seemed to have fun and particularly enjoyed eating our pasta. Booked at last minute after our pizza making tour was cancelled, and glad we did. Great family activity

Best experience we had in Rome! - I have to say we did 3 different tours while in Italy and this was by far the best. Lisa our guide was not only knowledgeable about the food we were making and a great translator but her knowledge about the history of the neighborhood was astonishing. We had been there the day before and had no idea about the things she told us the following day. Our chef Gabriele was patient and funny and the food we made was delicious. They added a couple of things that weren't expected and much appreciated. I would give this 10 stars if I could!

Delicious food experience, host and chef, most memorable - From the beginning to the end this was by far one of our greatest experiences. Lisa, our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish ghetto. She translated between chef, gabrielle and our group with ease. Chef gabrielle was patient and funny and even though there was a language barrier, we never felt it. His knowledge of the kitchen and cooking with love. Made this experience one of our best excursions. Not to mention the food we cooked was incredible. Best meal we ate on vacation.!!!
