Rome Food Tour Near the Vatican

We took Fiore’s pasta and tiramisu class while in Rome and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Fiore is a wonderful instructor, warm, patient, and clearly passionate about what she teaches. She made everything approachable, walked us through each step, and kept the whole class fun and relaxed. We came away with fresh pasta and tiramisu we were genuinely proud of, plus techniques we’ll actually use at home. If you’re looking for a hands-on, welcoming cooking experience in Rome, we can’t recommend Fiore enough. Grazie, Fiore, we had a fantastic time!

Me and my family booked the pasta class and found that Luca was incredibly helpful and funny. He taught us how to prepare ravioli and fettuccine and we were provided with the recipe to take home. Overall, very helpful and delicious food.

This experience was easily one of the best things we have done in Roma. Luca and the team where amazing, defo worth doing and will come back if we ever find ourselves back in Rome :) Thankyou so much ☺️

Perfect way to experience pasta cooking and making Tiramisu! The taste was heavenly. The host Jessica and Peter did a great job! Nice to combine with a visit to Florence City!

We had a party of 6 to learn how to make pasta & tiramisu. It was a fantastic experience- the whole thing was run incredibly smoothly and we even got to eat our own food! The instructor, Andrea, was easy to follow, excellent at giving instruction, and incredibly friendly. We would absolutely do this again!

We did the wine tasting and gelato in Trastevere with Vivien! She was a great guide and the gelato was the best we had in our 10 days in Italy! Highly recommend for an afternoon in Rome

It was such fun doing a cooking class with Clive and the staff there! And it tasted amazing 😍 They were so passionate and we learnt a lot - and the ad libitum wine made it even better!

Had such a fun time learning to make pasta and tiramisu at Cooking Italy our host Giorgio was amazing at explaining and demonstrating the art of pasta making, food tasted amazing , bonus unlimited wine included . Lovely end to a fabulous first time visit to Rome will definitely be returning .

The best cooking class in Rome!A huge thank you to Ila for making this an unforgettable experience! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about Italian cuisine. The class was fun, well-organized, and easy to follow, and we learned so much while enjoying every minute.

What an amazing experience! I absolutely loved the place and enjoyed every minute of the cooking class. Cliff was an outstanding instructor—friendly, patient, and passionate. He explained everything clearly and made the class both fun and easy to follow. Saif was also fantastic, always helpful and making sure everyone had a great experience.This was honestly a 100/10 experience! I learned so much, had a lot of fun, and felt welcome from start to finish. I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and enjoyable experience. I would definitely do it again!

Genuinely the best experience I’ve ever booked. Fantastic crew, such a blast. Clive, Sid, and Kevin treated us with the upmost gratitude and hospitality and I WILL be returning to do another class with these lovely people. The food was fantastic and they were extremely knowledgeable about the methods and science behind the food.

What a great way to learn some Italian culture!! Giorgio was a great host and made the course fly by. The set up was perfect with exactly enough breaks and delicious food. 100% recommend

Me and my friend had a wonderful experience! Luca is such a friendly and welcoming person and made the experience so much fun. He was overall amazing! What really stood out to me was Luca’s thoughtfulness, we did the cooking class on my friend’s 21st birthday and Luca sung happy birthday to her with a candle in her tiramisu, it was so lovely and made her day. I also enjoyed how good value for money this class was, we made two types of pasta and a tiramisu and was served bottomless Prosecco, wine and soft drinks throughout the class. We loved this cooking class so much, thank you Luca :). I strongly recommend this experience, It’s a must do when in Rome!

The best cooking class I've ever attended! Giorgio was an incredible instructor— fun, warm and made the entire experience fun and engaging. I learned techniques that I'll definitely use at home. If you're looking for a memorable cooking class in Rome, I can't recommend this experience enough. Thank you, Giorgio, for such a fantastic time!

My mom and I did this cooking class with Carlos and we had so much fun!! Carlos was a wonderful teacher and his singing made class a lot of fun. Great people, great food, and great wine! We will recommend this class to others for sure. Thank you Carlos for a great cooking experience!

11/10 would recommend to anyone coming to Rome. Amazing value, Giorgio was the perfect teacher and we had the best evening. Would even do it again when I return to Rome. Free flowing drinks and the tastiest food.

We had an amazing experience with Giorgio! He guided us through making fresh pasta and tiramisu step by step, making everything easy to follow, even for beginners. He was incredibly funny, welcoming, and patient, creating such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.His passion for cooking really showed, and he made sure everyone felt involved and had a great time. We learned a lot, laughed even more, and ended up with delicious food that we were proud to make ourselves.If you’re thinking about taking this class, don’t hesitate—Giorgio is an outstanding instructor, and this was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

The BEST cooking class I could’ve hoped for. As a solo traveller, I was so grateful that I was grouped up with people that were also solo travelling. I ended up meeting lovely people to hang out with for the few days I was in Florence! I had so much fun from start to finish. Clive and Sid gave us such a fun class making ravioli, tagliatelle and tiramisu. Left the class with a belly full of food I made and a liver dealing with all of wine and limoncello that I drunk. Totally worth booking with them.

We had the pleasure of participating in a Pasta & Tiramisu making course on July 4th in Florence.Led by Narghess & Peter, it was excellent. Both instructors brought huge energy and a lot of fun to the event, also helped by free offerings of wine, prosecco and limoncello.They made the cooking so easy and got the entire group engaged and working together.We can’t recommend this highly enough and it’s great value for money.

Ambar was completely amazing. Honestly, I’m so thankful for today. We booked last minute, and she rushed in to teach us. She sincerely went the extra mile for us. The way that she taught us was comical and kind. She was patient and so knowledgeable. The food ended up turning out amazing! By the end of the morning class all of my family was smiling, and it will create a lasting memory. We wish her well in the future.

My family and I went to this restaurant and took a cooking class! We loved it and Ambar was the best teacher! She made us feel so welcome and we learned so much! Definitely try to book with her, she’s one of a kind!!

Mike is a beast, he brings such good and positive energy that makes the experience very enjoyable, food and drinks were great as well, even tho you prepare the food lol 😆

Went to the pasta and tiramisu class in Florence. It was a great experience that I highly recommend. Chef Clive told us about the history of the foods and we got to learn more about Italian culture. Photos were recommended and sous chef Sid kept the entertainment going. Both Clive and Sid were very helpful and encouraging and welcomed any questions. 10/10 would recommend.

Wow! What a wonderful experience. We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and the experience was perfect for a group. Giorgio, was amazing. Very engaging and friendly. 10 out of 10 recommend!

MUST DO IN FIRENZE!I cannot say more truer words.The experience is as rewarding as it is fun from start to finish and the gracious hosts are such lovely and humble people.We had the most amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed every facet of this class.I wish I could explain in great detail how superb this is - but you’ll just have to trust me and go yourself.GO ON - GO!

Had a great time! The recipes we made tasted absolutely amazing. Carlo was also so fun, he made the experience 10 times better, even if he did say my ravioli looked like empanadas😓😂 Absolutely worth the money, if I go back to Rome, I’d definitely do this all over again!🥹

Fantastic atmosphere created by Giorgio, had an amazing time. Free flowing drinks and friendly guests, fully recommend to anyone who wants an unforgettable experience with authentic Italian recipes which you can then try out at home!

Very much like it! You have to do it if you want to have a fun interaction with other people and with the guy, Giorgio, who does all the explaining! It’s a unique experience! 🙂

Precious is just so precious! We had an incredible afternoon in Rome. 10/10 would book again, pasta slayed, met amazing people even got our antisocial boyfriends to smile and chat!! Highly recommend!! Maybe turn the air con up!

Michaele (probably spelled wrong, so sorry) but he was our teacher and he was amazing and fun. The food was amazing and the instruction was easy to follow. Food was amazing even if you’re no good at cooking your food will end up amazing regardless. I went with my family of 5 and everything was amazing. They also never let your glass go empty!!! 15/10 from this silly American!!!

What an amazing tour. Michael was so informative about everything we ate and drank, and we ate and drank a lot! I will recommend this tour to all my friends who plan on traveling to Rome.

Narghess was a perfect guide and entertainer for our cooking class. She was very skilled, knowledgeable, and patient. We could not have had a better night. So many laughs and delicious food.

The cooking class was really fun and engaging with Giorgio. Had the chance to make fettuccine pasta and tiramisu and it both turned out great with his guidance. Highly recommend this place!

absolutely recommend giving this class a go if you’re in rome! mike was our instructor and he was energetic, helpful, accommodating and just an all-round good time! we made two types of pasta and a small tiramisu which they then cooked for us and we enjoyed it as a tasty meal at the end with some yummy wine! we had an absolute blast and we both agreed it was our favourite thing we did while in rome :) bravo!!

We had an Amazing walking food tour guided by Marta. She was pleasant; personable; friendly; knowledgeable about the food, wine and history; and very professional.The food was spectacular and wine was very good.All in all an Amazing Experience.

Brilliant experience. Attended as a large hen do party and the boys were very accommodating.Learnt lots of cooking skills and had a laugh and a lot of alcohol along the way.Patrick was a great host and very cheeky

Super cute wholesome afternoon with Prosecco and wine to boot! We had Patrick who was fun, kind and made our afternoon as a group of 11 ladies. We made pasta, the best tiramisu I’ve ever tasted and just a great couple of hours.

Our instructor Luca was funny, helpful and informative and Ele cooked our pasta and served it beautifully. It was a great way to learn more about pasta history and to socialize. Delicious outcome as well!

TONI THAT HOISTED OUR GROUP WAS GREAT. SHE EXPLAINED EVERY THING WE WERE EATING TO US THOROUGHLY. SHE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND AMUSING . SHE HAD OUR ATTENTION THROUGH THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE TOGETHER. WE ENJOYED OUR TOUR THOROUGHLY.

Omg, this was the highlight of my trip to Rome this year!! Jordan (tour guide) was entertaining, relaxed, friendly and an all-round great host for the tour. Every course was incredibly enjoyable, the appetizers and Prosecco at "the Cafe" were divine, the Pizza at Bonci Pizzarium was delightful, the prosciutto/mortadella/cheese and white wine at Paciotti (and the added entertainment of Stephano's son - sorry I can't remember his name, but he was wonderful!!) was fantastic!! We followed that with Pasta (cpurse #4) at Il Segreto (very good pasta and wine pairings), and finished off at Lemongrass Gelato! It was a small group of 16 people, a perfect mix of all ages!Thank you for this wonderful memory!!

Georgia showed us such a good time! Great options for wines, very informative about the cooking experience and such a fun energy with the group - very generous with the alcohol 👀

My wife and I went to the pasta making and tiramisu cooking class hosted by Carlo.He was a great teacher and a fun host. Kept everything light and had fun with the entire group. Absolutely would do again if it was run by someone like Carlo.

Sofia was an amazing teachers fun and made sure we understood the technique. She was very helpful to my husband and daughter as well! It was a huge highlight of our trip to Rome and which we had time to do it again before we leave!

Very professional yet so much fun. Shared her knowledge simply and usable at home! Precious was very good at managing a crkowd with humor and left you wanting to know more ..

Precious was fantastic. So much fun and made pasta making easy. Highly recommend booking this with your friends or family. Precious is so knowledgeable and a great teacher.

Amazing tour! This was our first experience in Rome. While we were jet lagged, this tour was well worth our time. Our tour guide, Marta, was wonderful, accommodating our group and providing us with information on various food and wine. She is definitely a cheese expert!

Amazing pasta and tiramisu class! Fun atmosphere, great wine, and Chef Jacobo was fantastic—patient, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The dishes were delicious, and I can’t wait to make them again. My favorite moment was learning how to perfectly shape the pasta by hand, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend

While in Rome we did the Trastevere Roman Food Tour and had a fantastic guide named Tone. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her enthusiasm and knowledge of the food and wine. Her suggestions were spot on. Loved it all! Highly recommend and ask for Tone as your guide.

We had such a fun time making fresh pasta and tiramisu! Will hope you to use these new skills in the future! Martino and his team are an outstanding host and guide! A worthwhile experience! Unlimited beverages including wines, juice and soft drinks the whole time too!

The class was excellent, especially thanks to the outstanding work of Valeria, Dino, and Frankie. Valeria’s enthusiasm was contagious, and she kept everyone engaged throughout the entire class. It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet new people while learning more about Italian cuisine in a fun and welcoming environment.

I had a great time going through the different places and experiencing the local food. Can recommend this in all ways, and if you get Michael as a guide, just know that you’ve got the best.

My daughter and I really enjoyed this class and Micheal (our instructor I think!) was really engaging, humorous and put everyone at ease. Clear instructions, a good pace and very flexible. Would have liked to have made the filling for the ravioli too.

I went to a live cooking class in Rome with my friends, and it was an amazing experience. Luca is a great teacher and has a great sense of humor. It’s definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Rome!

Wonderful experience! This was a great to bring family together. Precious was an incredible teacher with a great personality who was very accommodating for a party of 16. Best pert of our trip!

Very good staff and Luca was very kind and helping if I lived in Rome I would love to come her more often. The instructions were very clear and the jokes made it friendly. If u want to learn how to cook the Italian way this is the place

This darling little restaurant in the heart of the city just changed my life. We took a cooking class and they had the sweetest girl leading our group! We met lots of new friends from neighboring countries and made friends for life. Our food they prepared with their own sause was absolutely delicious and will be making this recipe for my close friends and family at home when I host. Not to mentioned the tiramisu we made 100% on our own. 10/10 absolutely delicious!!

This was definitely a highlight of Rome. We had so much fun with Paola our host, she set the mood with her music, up beat personality and easy to follow pasta cooking. Free flowing wine and delicious food made it a sensational experience !!!!

Michael was a fantastic tour guide he’s originally from New York so his English is obviously perfect but he’s been in Italy for more than 11 years so his Italian is great as well and he gave us a very detailed description of all of the food and wine with history and geography and descriptions of where it came from and why it was important in Italy. We just had a great time he made it fun. He made it like a party and the wine sure helped with that as well. I give Michael my highest recommendations. Everybody should do this tour! It was great!

Our cooking class hostess (Precious) was absolutely wonderful—warm, professional, and incredibly entertaining. This was my first trip to Rome, and in fact, it was a true bucket-list experience. I will cherish the memories of this evening forever.During the class, I learned how to make tiramisu, ravioli, and linguine, and it was such a fun and rewarding experience. My family and I had a fantastic time, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome!

What a fun and tasty experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening and were so impressed! Luka was very nice and provided clear directions for each step of the pizza making and gelato process.

Love ling experience doing the pizza workshop. It was nice to learn the recipes. Hands on you will put ingredients on your napolitan pizza and mix or add ingredients to an ice cream. Luca was very nice!

Carlo and the whole experience was awesome. As a family of four with 2 teenagers it was the right amount of effort and experience we were looking for. No shortage of experience, laughter, wine, and great food that you prepared yourself. We definitely will try to make fresh pasta when we get back home after this fun evening!

Our chef instructor, Giorgio, was entertaining, knowledgeable, and made the class so much fun! He was attentive to everyone and made sure no one was left out or left behind. We learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu, and afterward our pasta was cooked individually and served with wine or soft drinks. Everything was delicious, and the entire experience was well organized and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this class—it was absolutely worth it!

I love love love this experience. Paola was such a great instructor and we got the opportunity to taste multiple delicious bites. Plus the wine tasted so good , could have gone with the bottle. This was definitely one of the best experiences i had in Rome.

We learned how to make fresh fettuccine, ravioli, and authentic Italian tiramisu from scratch.The instructor was friendly, patient, and explained every step in a way that made the experience both educational and entertaining.

We had an amazing experience taking the cooking class here! Filipe did a great job explaining the recipes and giving us the tips and tricks we could apply at home. We made ravioli with ricotta and spinach filling, fettuccine with pomodoro sauce, and tiramisu, with unlimited pours of sparkling wine. Highly recommended!

We attended a pasta and tiramisu cooking class with Giorgio, but it was much more than a class, it was an experience! It was a really fun and pleasant time (Giorgio is funny and lovely, honestly). I would 100% recommend coming to Cooking Italy if you want to have a wonderful time while learning something you get to take home with you!

Ali was absolutely fantastic! She was knowledgeable and professional, and integrated into our group extremely well. If there were 6 stars available in this rating, she would has received that!

Precious was amazing - fun, engaging, very organized. I have been to many Italian cooking classes in USA. It is not trivial to run a class and have everyone prepare multiple dishes successfully and then eat what THEY made. Not only was it fun and productive but the food we made was delicious. And that was all her perfect work to make it happen. Grazie mille Precious per una espenzia meravigliose!

We had a wonderful time. Our guide Vivien was knowledgeable, easy going, and friendly! We learned so much and she gently encouraged our teen and tween to try a bunch of new bites! So glad we did the tour. She made it a memorable, special day.

my 4 friends and I did this experience with Michele, it was the best time! michele was so funny and entertaining and also such a good teacher. we made ravioli, fettuccini and tiramisu, it made us all excited to try it at home in canada! 10/10

Vincenzo was amazing. The food was delicious and company perfecto for our first night in Rome. I would highly recommend scheduling a tour with Vincenzo. You will enjoy every minute.

Highly recommend. Precious is so much fun. From the instruction, dancing, and all the chin chin, the class will not disappoint. We also brought our children who had an exceptional time.

We had such an amazing time doing this experience. Carlo was fantastic. So energetic, fun and informative. Keeping the energy high and entertaining us with his singing! The class was educational and the food was amazing. We also got to try tasting of other Italian produce such as balsamic vinegar, olive oil and truffle. We would deffo recommend.

My family had a great time & experience with the Florence Food Tour Cooking class. Narghess was a fabulous cook and teacher and her personality was amazing. She made this such a great experience! I highly recommend it and would ask for her!!!

Amazing cooking class experience! Sophia was top-notch. We brought four children with us ages 13, 9 and 6 all had a great time. I’m not so sure that it was designed for that young audience but the team here did an excellent job making sure all of our kids felt totally included and had a great time.

I’ve been to Rome so many times, even lived there for a short while, but this experience really takes the cake as one of my favorite things I’ve done in the city. Luca made the experience all the more fun and memorable, cannot recommend this enough.

Such a fantastic experience with Vivien. She was incredibly knowledgeable and a really great guide to Rome’s food and wine, as well as the city. Vivien told us about the history behind everything we ate and drank, as well as answered questions about the tour and Rome in general. She also provided a lot of suggestions about what to do and where to eat. Vivien was great! Unfortunately, with all the wine and food, we forgot to leave a tip, although it was well deserved. Thank you Vivien!!

Wow! What a wonderful experience this was on our last night in Rome. I cannot say enough good about this experience. Our instructor Cicco was not only an excellent instructor but also quite the comedian. He made the class fun and the hours fly by. We made fettuccine, ravioli and tiramisu all of which turned out amazing. Great food, amazing people from around the world, lots of learning and laughter, and full bellies by the end. Such a fun experience!

We had a great time with Giorgio. He was great with our large family and young kids. We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make fettuccine, ravioli, and tiramisu! Great time was had by all!!

We did a pasta and tiramisu workshop with Valeria in Rome, and it was such a fun experience! Valeria was a wonderful guide,friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy to follow. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and enjoyed making delicious food. A lovely memory from our trip to Italy. Highly recommended! ❤️🍝☕
