Strongly recommend holy pizza - Holy smoke we had so much fun. Dad and teen daughter learned pizza and Gelato. Waaaaaay more entertaining than our vatican tour, no offense to his eminence! Pleasant atmosphere, good music, tremendous teaching, and somehow he coaxed from us best pizza we've ever tasted.

Cooking class as trip highlight with kids! - We had a great experience with the pasta and gelato class! I have 11 year old girls and we were with three generations of family, and David and Emiliano were great with the kids, including them in everything we did and letting them take the lead! At the end of the class they said this was their favorite thing we did in Rome! The meal was also fantastic, and they gave us the recipes to take home so we can do it ourselves! I would absolutely recommend this for families as a great multi generation activity!

So fun! - Our hosts were fantastic, and our work group had a lot of fun. Not only were they funny and engaging, they clearly demonstrated a depth of knowledge of cooking that explained the 'why' behind each step and it's importance. Would highly recommend!
