A Fun & Easy Experience for First-Time Pasta Makers
"My mother and I were looking for unique experiences to do while in Rome for the first time, so we signed up for the pasta making class. Our teacher Constanza, was very friendly and bubbly from the start. It was a small class, about 10-12 in total, so she had time to go around and help everyone one-by-one, as well as in a group. She went slowly and made sure everyone was able to go through the steps together. She made it a very interactive experience, and made sure everyone felt comfortable as a group, although most of us did not know each other at the start. Once we made and cooked the three types of pasta, we all sat, ate, drank some wine, and enjoyed the end result. This was a very fun experience, and I'd definitely recommend it!"

Awesome cannoli, tiramisu, gelato making class!
"Our party of three adults had an awesome time making and eating cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato with our very attentive and knowledgeable chefs Bea and Riccardo, along with our delightful greeters Anna and Julia. It was just a fun morning learning about some of our favorite desserts. We couldn't believe that we found a class making exactly what we wanted and we will definitely be making these recipes at home. We had taken pasta and pizza cooking classes previously and so were looking for something different like this class this time.
We chose to arrive by taxi to class at the "bakery lab" which is in Rome but outside of the "Roman center" and at our request, our greeters called a taxi for our return which arrived in just a couple of minutes.
We highly recommend!!"

"We enjoyed the personalized cooking lesson provided by Federica. She was very knowledgeable and patient with us as we prepared pineapple gelato and homemade tiramisu. We made every part of the tiramisu from scratch and not with premade processed ingredients as we might typically do in the US.
Lots of fun but be prepared that the kitchen is hot as Italian kitchens are not air conditioned.
Federica took photos and explained the process for both recipes well and made the experience unforgettable."
