Beautiful evening in the Jewish Ghetto - We had a great time learning how to make pasta. A special treat to have the Chef allow us in the kitchen to be instructed in how to make 2 beautiful pasta dishes - cacio e pepe & amatriciana. Isabella was so helpful and a good host as she translated the Chef's instructions and joined us as we ate a beautiful meal that we helped make. I highly recommend this experience!

Highlight of our trip! - This pasta making class was great fun for both my 11-year old son and myself. It was highly personalised - we were just the two of us! The host was charming, the chef was enthusiastic and we actually learned new skills - a perfect recipe for great bonding time. Plus we got to eat delicious food!

Great meal, great time! - Our entire family (parents, teens, grandparents) absolutely LOVED this class. Our host first gave us a quick neighborhood tour. Then we arrived a the restaurant, and had so much fun preparing our meal. Making pasta by hand from scratch was easier and more fun that I would have ever imagined. We took our pasta to the kitchen, and prepared the entire meal. Topped off with som great wine! +

Olivia is the best. - Olivia was a perfect host. We feel very lucky to have received such a warm & authentic lesson from a hilarious / kind chef here at La Taverna Del Ghetto. The history lesson was awesome & made us appreciate what we made / were served.

The best cooking class in Rome - My cooking class with Gourmetaly in Rome was, hands down, the best culinary experience I've ever had! GABRIELE (the chef) shared not only his passion for Italian cuisine but also invaluable tips and techniques that transformed our dishes from ordinary to extraordinary. The class was intimate, ensuring that each participant received personalized attention and guidance throughout the entire process.

The best cooking class in the world! - This was the best experience I’ve ever had! Our translator made us feel very comfortable and informed. I cant recommend this enough, it’s hard to pick a favorite moment - from learning to make pasta, to cooking right next to the chef, to eating the best meal EVER! We got lucky and were the only people in our group to show up so it was very enjoyable, basically like a private cooking lesson in Rome. The class was about 2-3 hours long including the prepping, cooking, and eating. If you’re on the fence about booking this, you know what they say “when in Rome” haha DO IT!
