Romina is the best! - On our recent family trip to Rome over the holidays, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch with Romina in her beautiful and cozy kitchen workshop. It was a perfect break between our morning and afternoon tours at the Vatican, and it was just a short walk to get there. She was a fun and gracious host and educator. Our kids unanimously said it was their favorite meal in Rome. They have already planned a pasta-making party with their friends at home to pass along their newly-learned skills!

Don’t leave Rome without this!! 🇮🇹🍝♥️ - A week in Rome and this was my favorite experience! Romina is an amazing chef and instructor. She was very accommodating when we added another person last minute. Her kitchen is adorable, and everything we made, ate, and drank was as good as a fine dining experience while taking part in the kitchen! 100% recommend to make this part of your Rome visit.

Amazing! - This was by far the best tour we did in Italy. It’s walking distance from the Vatican we learned how to make ravioli and fettuccini. We were given snacks and wine and were able to eat the pasta we made. And it was delicious!!

Best experience you could get! - From the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend this experience with Romina to anyone visiting Rome! It wasn’t just an unforgettable moment for me and my boyfriend — it became a core memory of our entire Italian holiday. Romina is incredibly warm and welcoming, and everything was organized to perfection. Our birthday weekend couldn’t have been more special. ❤️

The Best Ever! - This is a MUST do experience for anyone visiting Rome! We had the most wonderful evening cooking and learning from the kind and welcoming Romina, who was so knowledgable and talented. We felt right at home, and the food was so delicious. We've already referred multiple friends to do this experience on their Rome trips. Such a highlight!

Pasta making with Romina - We had a great time. Our party was 2 couples and there were 2 other really fun couples at the class. Romina created a fun atmosphere. I was inspired to start making pasta when I get home. I would recommend this to anyone for a fun evening!

A must-do when in Rome! - What a great experience! My Mom and I decided to take Romina's class during our stay in Rome and it was one of the key highlights of our Italy Trip!
The location is super cute with a local charm and so easy to get to.
Romina is simply the best, we were a small group with other two families and the way the class is set up + Romina's way of teaching created a great vibe. (Probably the good music also helped)
When arrived, she offered a glass of prosecco (which you can always refill while cooking!) and some AMAZING antipasti. Then we cooked two different pasta dishes. She taught us from how to do different types of dough to shape & Cut the pasta, and make the sauces, sharing some great tips to then make at home!
While cooking Romina shared with us stories & tips about Italian food and Roman pasta dishes
Then we sat at the table, had wine and had the PASTA we all made! It was delicious. We finished with an incredible Tiramisu.
Fully recommend taking this class if you are looking for an original, high-end quality class from a local and super qualified cook.

Amazing cooking class, recommended! - Romina is super nice host and treasure well of useful and practical advices! We had amazing experience, made our own dinner and enjoyed it, paired with local wines. Romina was as hands-off as our skill levels allowed but took care to carefully guide us in all of the steps.
