Book this experience!!! - Our cooking class with Ilaria was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Italy — truly a magical and unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into her warm, inviting home, we felt like we were visiting an old friend. Ilaria welcomed us with such genuine care and hospitality, and her passion for cooking and sharing her culture was evident in every moment. Her home is charming and beautiful, filled with love and character — the perfect setting for a cozy and inspiring culinary experience. She guided us, step by step, through making fresh pasta and the most delicious tiramisu from scratch. Ilaria was incredibly patient and encouraging, taking time to make sure we understood each part of the process while keeping the class fun and relaxed. It never felt rushed — just pure joy in learning and creating something delicious together. Our 10-year-old daughter absolutely adored the experience — so much so that she already insisted we buy a pasta maker when we got home! That’s how much of an impact Ilaria made on us. We left not just with new skills, but with full hearts and unforgettable memories. We truly felt like family by the end of the evening. If you’re looking for an authentic, hands-on, and heartwarming experience in Italy, do not miss this cooking class. It’s something we’ll cherish forever. Highly, highly recommend!

Book it now! - We were looking for a cooking class that was personal and authentic while offering more than just a basic pasta and tiramisu. Well, we found it! Our entire family of five including three children (2 boys and a girl, ages 18-23) all thought this was one of the best experiences during our entire trip to Italy. Chef Ilaria made us feel welcome in her beautiful home from the very beginning. She had the evening all perfectly timed and organized while being warm, friendly and helpful at the same time. She taught us how to make three types of pasta, ravioli filling, batter for a fried vegetable appetizer and cream for the tiramisu. She also talked us through the different pasta sauces as she made them in front of us and also provided a few other appetizers and wine. There was so much food! Definitely come hungry. To add to the personal experience, her children all stopped into the kitchen to say hello and her partner had us all laughing until we cried. It was definitely a 10/10 evening and HIGHLY recommended!

Truly wonderful experience - We highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Rome. We participated as a family of five with kids ages 11, 9 and 6. We loved learning in Ilaria’s home kitchen. She and her family are so hospitable and welcoming and it felt like learning from a friend. The food was delicious. We all agreed the best pasta we had in our week in Rome. Highly highly recommend.

New friends gather - Ilara is gracious and generous with her hospitality, her patience and her teaching. She is a skilled chef who is passionate about her craft and it shows with every detail. This wasn’t a “class” as much as it was a gathering of new friends around the kitchen table, enjoying wonderful food and even more wonderful friendship. If you want to learn to make pasta in a beautiful setting with an amazing woman, this is the place!

A wonderfully warm welcome - Ilaria and her family were such gracious hosts! We had a wonderful time and quickly felt like we were visiting old friends. The food was all excellent and we left with hearts and stomachs full. We can’t wait to try the recipes at home, too. My daughter (23) and I (53) agree that this was a highlight of our Rome adventure. Pro tips: come hungry. We waddled like penguins all the way back, we were so full! Also, take some time to enjoy the neighborhood at night. Trastevere is quite charming.

Do Not Miss This Class!!! - Do not miss your chance to have a fun evening learning how to make some great Italian dishes from a working third generation female chef! But more than that, don't miss the opportunity to visit her in her home and immediately feel you are visiting your Italian family! After we finished our hands-on cooking, we didn't just eat our pastas, we ate them with her husband and kids. There were questions, interaction, conversation, laughter, learning and sharing. We felt part of the family! The class and evening were memorable, and we'll be talking about it for years to come! This was easily one of the highlights of our two week trip to Italy.
