Amazing!!!!!! - Hands down the best cooking class we’ve ever experienced! It truly made our European trip unforgettable and was by far one of the best excursions we’ve ever done. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to skip Rome and stay near the port — an incredible and authentic experience you won’t regret!

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey! - Our market tour and cooking class with Natalina from Incitur was absolutely magical! With just four of us in our intimate group, we received incredibly personalized attention throughout the entire experience. Natalina began by sharing fascinating stories about Civitavecchia's rich history, setting the perfect cultural backdrop for our adventure. The local market visit was a feast for the senses - we learned about selecting the freshest ingredients while Natalina shared insider tips about Italian cooking traditions. The highlight was definitely the hands-on cooking session. The restaurant chef graciously opened his kitchen to us, patiently teaching us the art of making perfect gnocchi from scratch and the secrets behind an authentic tiramisu. Dining on our homemade creations in the restaurant's beautiful setting was the perfect finale. The intimate atmosphere, combined with the pride of eating food we'd prepared ourselves, made this an experience we'll treasure forever. Natalina's passion for her craft and genuine care for her guests shone through every moment. This tour perfectly blends culture, education, and pure enjoyment. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic taste of Italian life!

Amazing local cooking experience, with a little history! - Since we have been to Rome, we wanted to stay local on our cruise stop in Civitavecchia so we decided to do this tour. We had the best time as a family! We first met our guide, Olga right outside the port terminal. We walked through town and got some history and then headed to the local market where we bought the ingredients for our meal. Everything at the market was so fresh and it was great to see how locals buy their food everyday. We then headed off to meet our chef, Matteo at his restaurant Otto.Zero and the cooking began. With Chef Matteo to guide us through we made Tiramisu, fresh pasta pomodoro, and saltimbocca alla romana. It was so much fun! Matteo was kind and patient and a true local chef. We learned a lot about Civitavecchia and local cuisine and had the best time. And the food was delicious--the best that we had in Italy. Everything was so fresh. Also, they happily accommodated my request to make pasta instead of gnocchi! We then sat down to eat our meal in the restaurant and enjoyed a great glass of wine. It was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip and Olga and Matteo made it extra special. I booked directly with Incitur and they were great with communication--I got a confirmation right away upon booking and a reconfirmation right before our tour with clear instructions for where to meet. I highly recommend this for a true local experience and fun for the whole family!

Market Tour and Cooking Class Highly Recommended - This experience exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Olga, met us at our hotel and shared interesting facts about the city and market vendors as we made our way through the city market, selecting the products for our class. We then met Chef/Owner Matteo at his restaurant, Otto Zero, where we had a hands-on class preparing gnocchi, tomato sauce , veal saltumbuca, and tiramasu. We have taken many market tours/cooking classes in our travels, and this activity was one of the best. Highly revommended!
