Welcome to my Roman kitchen, in the heart of Trastevere, one of the most authentic and charming neighborhoods of Rome, for a unique and genuine experience.

I will welcome you into my home, where you will immediately feel like longtime friends. Together, we will prepare one of the most iconic dishes of Roman cuisine: Carbonara. I will guide you step by step, sharing stories and secrets to achieve the perfect creamy texture and an irresistible balance of flavors.

Once it’s ready, we will sit down to enjoy our Carbonara, accompanied by a small aperitif that I will have prepared in advance for you—a taste of Rome that will make you feel even more immersed in the city’s gastronomic tradition.

Are you ready to discover the true taste of Roman cuisine?

I had a really great cooking class together with Ofelia. We made maritozzi both sweet and savory. Very delicious. It was a great evening and experience with Ofelia and her husband Leonardo. I will visit again for another cooking class next time I visit Rome!

I was welcomed in Ophelia ‘s home like an old friend. It was so comfortable leaning how to make the pasta and watched the final dish come alive. We enjoyed our meal together with my friends.The conversation was delightful. Im ready to go home and make some fresh pasta carbonara! I highly recommend taking a cooking class with Ophelia!

Ofelia was exceptional. She thoroughly explained the ingredients and each step. She is extremely knowledgeable and her kitchen is a wonderful environment to learn, cook and chat. She had the table set for us to dine on what we had prepared and it was more than enough for a meal. I will highly recommend her for all of the above reasons in addition to her kind and welcoming personality which made the cooking experience that much more memorable.

Where to start… the food was incredible and on its own would make this the best foodie experience in Rome, but the hospitality, conversation and friendship of Ofelia and Leonardo made this a memory of a lifetime. I have done numerous cooking classes around the world, but nothing comes close, the atmosphere in their stunning apartment is more like a dinner party with close friends. We left with full stomachs and full hearts. Thank you. Till the next time!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Rome (RM)    Languages: Italian and English
Mine is a cuisine that starts above all from traditional family recipes. I was born in Calabria, but mine is a family branched out in cultural and consequently also culinary history. A great-grandmother of a Jewish family married to a great-grandfather an aviator American, another who abandoned dancing with the consuls for a marriage with an intellectual of peasant origins, all united with the Calabrian mountain tradition.From the branch of Jewish origins I took the great love for sweet and sour, for fermented recipes and spicy scents, from the noble branch some recipes that I discovered to be relatives of sometimes Sicilian and sometimes Neapolitan cuisine (from the Kingdom of the two Sicilies:), some that I have never happened to find in other houses. I moved to Rome almost twenty years ago to study and I stayed there, here I also assimilated some recipe books from my partner who is a Roman from Trastevere, making my own super recipes rlatives of the Roman tradition, such as the first classics or the Maritozzi, which I often personalize with fillings that bring me and my guests back to Calabria!
