Unique and authentic experience. - The shared meal on the rooftop at the end of the class was wonderful. The host was very knowledgeable about his craft. More information to find the venue would be helpful.

Rome’s hidden pasta secret! - An incredible evening spent making pasta with Francesco. A very knowledgable individual who made the pasta making process so simple and so enjoyable. A wealth of knowledge was brought to the table and an array of experience alongside the freshest ingredients ranging from vegetables to seafood. All accompanied by beautiful wines and a fantastic setting. A great atmosphere was made and a thoroughly enjoyable evening was had. Would absolutely recommend to anybody who is looking to learn a lot about making pasta whilst in Rome.

Delicious - We enjoyed the entire evening. It was very nice to be in a small group in the comfort of the Franchesco’s home. The rooftop outdoor experience was also very nice.

Once in a lifetime experience - What an incredible experience. After arriving we were treated to an Aperitif and a nosh. When the group was assembled we stared our adventure into our culinary adventure. Everything was explained and hands on. It was not just a lecture and watching someone else do it. We laughed and learned. Then we were treated to the fruits of our labors. Good food, good wine and good conversation was then capped off with a beautiful wild cherry torte and fresh fruit and cream. Two weeks in Europe and it is my number one memory. Thank you to Gloria, Daniel and Chef Francesco! I can’t wait to come back and do it again !

It felt like having dinner with friends! Highly recommend! - We received this experience as a wedding gift, and it was our favorite activity in Rome. It felt like having dinner with friends on a rooftop terrace. The host was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions (no lactose), and worked up a menu that was delicious for everyone. The host brought out a tray of veggies from the farmers market, and we used that as our inspiration for what to make.
It was us, and four other pairs/couples who didn’t know each other. We learned how to make pestos, sauce, and different kinds of pasta. And then we all sat down to eat together.
The host gave us local wines to try and entertained us throughout the evening.
A wonderful way to wrap up our Rome adventures.

Fresh ingredients, learning and the view! - Where do I begin….many firsts and great memories to share.
Our family of 3 is comprised of my spouse and 17yr old daughter.
We felt welcomed from the start.
Took a 15min taxi from Piazza Navona to the location. Accessible and no hassle as there are plenty of ways to get there.
Chef Francesco is a subject matter expert, no doubt. He guided us step by step, with the ease and camaraderie of your friendly and very helpful next door neighbor.
Fresh ingredients, “farm-stand to tavola” concept, culminating with a golden hour sunset freshly home made Roman dinner overlooking the Vatican and the mountain range. Absolutely idillic. On top of that, meaningful conversations and cultural exchanges.
So much to share and treasure.
Grazie Chef Francesco for opening the culinary and culture doors for us to learn and bring this experience forward. Ciao!
