Common questions about this experience category
Our shared classes run in small groups: sometimes it's just the two of you, a few more in high season. The more participants there are, the more chefs look after you, so everyone gets the right attention.
Yes: in our shared cooking classes in Rome for tourists you can book just one place and cook in a small group with other travelers, in English. At the end of the class everyone sits down at the table with what they've made. You'll see the dates with free places in each class's booking calendar.
It depends on what you want to learn: fresh pasta and tiramisù, carbonara with cacio e pepe and amatriciana, pizza and gelato, the gelato class, Spritz and Spaghetti, or the Campo de' Fiori market tour with the class. The shortest is gelato, about an hour and a half; the longest is the market tour with the class, about four hours. They're all hands-on, and each one also has its own private version.
If you only want dessert, there's the gelato class. If you'd like savory dishes too, choose fresh pasta and tiramisù or pizza and gelato. In all of them you make the dessert yourself, from scratch, with the chef beside you, and then you eat it at the table with the others.
Spritz and Spaghetti: you make an Aperol Spritz with the chef, then the fresh pasta dough, two long pasta shapes and two sauces, and you finish at the table. Like all our shared cooking classes in Rome for tourists, it's taught in English. It's adults only: you need to be 18 or over to join.
Yes, the school is at Piazza Margana 22, in the historic center: 2 minutes' walk from Piazza Venezia, 5 from the Colosseum, 10 from Campo de' Fiori and the Pantheon. We're on the ground floor, with a shop window on the street, the historic green door and our logo on the glass. Only the market tour starts from Campo de' Fiori.
The carbonara class: you make fresh pasta by hand, for example tonnarelli, and in this cooking class Rome's three classic sauces are on the menu: carbonara, cacio e pepe and amatriciana. If you'd also like to shop like a Roman, there's the Campo de' Fiori market tour with a cooking class, using seasonal ingredients: it doesn't run on Sundays, when the market is closed, or in the afternoon.
Fresh pasta and tiramisù, pizza and gelato and the gelato class are suitable for vegetarians. In the other classes, if a sauce has meat, we leave it out for you, except in the carbonara class: there guanciale is the heart of the dishes and it stays. Let us know when you book.
You can join all our shared cooking classes in Rome for tourists except Spritz and Spaghetti, which is for ages 18 and up. Kids cook from age 6, and in shared classes children pay the same as adults. With kids, though, we recommend a private class or our family classes.
Yes: if there's space, you can book for the same day too, from the class's booking calendar. If you're short on time, the best cooking class in Rome for you is gelato, which lasts about an hour and a half, or carbonara, about two hours. And if you're leaving right after, we'll keep your luggage in a supervised area.
