Highlights

Market:

Wednesdays and Fridays

Rome is renowned for its bustling open-air markets, a place where one can discover fresh, in-season produce and immerse themselves in an authentic experience. Join our Chef for a visit to the Nomentano Market, meander through the vendor stalls, feast your eyes on the vibrant hues, and inhale the enticing aromas of the ingredients that will later be featured in our cooking workshop.

Special Sundays

We now present our celebrated culinary class with an added touch of tradition. On Sundays, our cooking sessions include a brief excursion to the Campagna Market situated by the Circo Massimo, offering you a chance to cook in the time-honored Roman fashion: a leisurely stroll (“passeggiata”) through the breathtaking sights of Circo Massimo and Palatino, leading up to the market where you’ll select fresh Italian produce for your culinary lesson in our fully equipped kitchen at YellowSquare.

Cooking Lesson:

After returning from the market, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and learn the art of crafting homemade pasta, guided by our expert Chef!

Lunch!

The culmination of the class is a relaxed lunch where you’ll enjoy the dishes you’ve created, each paired with a distinct regional wine.

The cost covers both the market tour and the cooking lesson.

We provide all the necessary tools and ingredients; just bring your passion and a readiness to take on a new culinary challenge!
