A must do! - Cooking with Ilaria was one of the highlights of our trip! I chose this class over so many others because of the reviews and they were spot on! You are welcomed into her home and family like long time friends. We learned how to make pasta from a professional and can’t wait to use our new skills at home. Choose this class, you won’t regret it!

BEST part of the Honeymoon - Ahh life has been busy post honeymoon but we still think about this experience at least weekly… truly the best part of our honeymoon! They are the ABSOLUTE best! True gems. It felt like we were with long lost family/friends. We also still use her recipes today when cooking from scratch back here in the U.S. Without a doubt if we can visit again we will be reaching out to see if we can do another class. We promise this is worth booking - we encourage it!!! If you truly want an authentic experience and learn Italian recipes/cooking… this is it… not the large class style. And don’t worry, if you’re wanting to drink, wine is provided :)

Fabulous experience!! - What an amazing experience!!! Our teacher actually went to cooking school, AND she was able to adjust her recipes for picky kids’ palettes. This was our favorite activity in Italy so far, and the food was all absolutely delicious!!!! You should definitely book this class!!!

Pasta Cooking Memories that will last forever - We booked this pasta class for its intimate cooking experience and was beyond blown away. We were welcomed into their beautiful home and family. Ilaria was so kind and informative. She let us ask so many questions and took the time to share even more. Pasta making was so fun, but tasting homemade sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil from their farm was so special. It was the perfect ending and final memory before heading home. We are forever grateful. Can’t wait to share photos with her once we try pasta at home.

Welcoming and wholesome experience - This was THE most wholesome experience of our 5 day trip to Rome. Ilaria is charming, patient, welcoming and above all else the most magnificent chef. Ilaria and her family welcomed me and my two sons into their home with warmth. The whole evening felt like we were cooking/chatting with friends, never feeling rushed. The pasta was the best we had during our visit to Rome. Everything was fresh and plentiful, we had full belly's so make sure you go with plenty of room. Honestly, I couldn't recommend this experience enough, it truly made our trip. When peoole ask about Rome, its the first thing we talk about. Thank you for having us!

Amazing authentic Italian cooking experience - We had an amazing cooking experience with Ilaria - one of the best excursions we have ever had. We enjoyed tasting 3 different appetizers, 3 different sauces, made 3 types of pasta, in addition to tiramisù. We enjoyed wine through the evening as well. We loved the hands on experience of making pasta. Ilaria was a great teacher, providing guidance and positive feedback along the way. We also enjoyed meeting Ilaria’s husband and children. Ilaria was very warm and welcoming into her home. It truly was an authentic Italian cooking experience!
