Best cooking class ever - Claudia and Bruno (nee “Vanessa”) were amazing! This was hands down the best thing we did on our trip. Claudia’s garden of herbs, olives, grapes, strawberries and more than I can count was awesome. To pull herbs from the ground and cook them with her and my daughter was fantastic and fun. You SHOULD book this! If only for Bruno’s Ferrari level driving 😎.

Incredible!!!! - This tour was AMAZING! We loved everything about it! Claudia and her husband were so welcoming and lovely. The food was incredible.. we made fresh pasta, fresh greens from the garden, meat rolls w fresh herbs and cheese/ prosciutto and fresh artichokes. It was definitely a highlight to our week visiting Rome. Don’t think twice.. book! You won’t regret it!

A Real Treat - We thoroughly enjoyed our class with Claudia and Bruno. The dishes we cooked were so delicious and it was a treat to pick the herbs and greens in their garden, among the olive, apple and cherry trees. They were very engaging and generous and we would recommend this class to everyone.

Absolutely incredible experience! - We did a private cooking class for four people, and it was hands down one of the highlight of our trip. The class takes place in the warm, welcoming home with beautiful surroundings. Claudia and Bruno truly make you feel like family. Claudia is a fantastic teacher—patient, knowledgeable, and so passionate about cooking. Every step was hands-on, and we learned so much while creating an amazing meal together.
Meanwhile, Bruno kept us all entertained with his quick wit, funny stories, and live piano playing that added such a unique and joyful atmosphere. It felt less like a class and more like an evening with old friends who happen to be incredible hosts.
We laughed, we learned, we ate delicious food, and we made some unforgettable memories. I can’t recommend this experience enough. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!
5 stars all the way!

Highlight of our trip - Four of us joined Claudia and Bruno for an amazing experience. First - they are lovely. Second - their joy and enthusiasm is contagious. Third - Claudia knows what she’s doing in the garden and the kitchen and Bruno knows what he’s doing at the keyboard (he even took requests).
We started with an espresso, then picked all the greens we needed from the garden, including a bit of foraging.
We made two types of pasta, an incredible tomato sauce, fried some greens, made a beef dish and had a lot of fun. Lunch followed with some of their own wine, which was really tremendous.
This was a lovely experience. You won’t regret this trip to the countryside.

Unforgettable memory - What an amazing day, lifetime memory for sure! Claudia and Bruno are beautiful people. The setting and the ambience is perfect.
Cooking in the Italian countryside away from all the touristy type settings is something we have always wanted to do. It could not have been a more perfect experience! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Spectacular! - Absolutely fantastic. Claudia and Bruno were the best hosts. We picked local vegetables and herbs from their garden, drank espresso, cooked 5 dishes, and ate amazing food. This was the highlight of our trip. I can’t recommend it enough.

Good experience - Before we go the owner reached out with us about the train information clearly and show up on time. Then took us to their lovely house. And there was a cute dog welcome our arrived. They have their small farm and we can pick some fresh vegetable up. We learn two different types of pasta and ravioli. Also make some small dishes. While we were making pasta, Bruno had a beautiful piano play for us. After all we sat down had delicious food and wine together. It was wonderful to learn how to make Italian food and meet lovely friends on the day.

Very special authentic Italian experience - This was our most special experience in Italy. Claudia and Bruno and their family were so welcoming and helpful. Bruno picked us up from the train station and gave us a quick tour of their beautiful midevil village. Claudia's food was exceptional and she showed us so many of her tips and tricks. We were also lucky enough to have Bruno play his keyboard and sing for us while we cooked. After we cooked we got to sit down and enjoy our amazing meal with the whole family washed down with some of their beautiful homemade wine. And Bruno went out of his way to make sure we got back to our train on time. It was a truly magical day we will remember forever. It was lovely to get out of the hustle of Rome for the day, with just a short 30 min train ride. 100% recommend

No show - No show.
Unfortunately, this experience did not go as expected. I booked the class a month in advance as a surprise gift for my boyfriend’s birthday and was really looking forward to it, especially after reading the positive reviews. However, I never received a response to my questions in the chat, and on the day of the class, no one showed up at the station. Viator’s customer service also attempted to contact them but was unsuccessful. This was very disappointing.
