- We had a wonderful time with Ofelia! She was so kind and informative with all of the steps in making the wonderful meal we cooked with her. She was also extremely attentive to the fact that we had one person in our party with allergies and she modified the menu to accommodate his needs. The ingredients she used were so fresh and the meal we cooked together was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend Ofelia if you are looking for a personal and authentic Rome cooking experience!
- As an avid fan of both cooking and eating, I can confidently say this experience was the highlight of my first trip to Italy, and a lasting memory from one of our final nights. Ofelia and her husband made my family of four feel like we were visiting dear friends for an intimate dinner. Ofelia was warm, welcoming, and guided us through making Pasta Carbonara completely from scratch. There’s truly no better way to spend an evening in Rome than preparing one of the city’s signature dishes. Despite our family having a wide range of cooking experience, we each created picture-perfect pasta with her guidance. I still can’t decide whether I enjoyed making the pasta or eating it more — but that’s the best kind of dilemma to have. For anyone seeking an authentic, personal experience in Rome, I highly recommend Ofelia’s class. Thank you so much for your hospitality — hoping to return to Italy sooner rather than later!
- A gem of an experience and the highlight of our visit to Rome. We learned how to made fresh pasta and Tiramisu, both of which we will make at home. Ofelia is very knowledgeable and she and her husband are wonderful hosts.
- My fiance and I had the best time with Ofelia and her husband. They were extremely friendly and laid back and very thorough in her explanation of how to make the dish. We have already made noodles twice and they came out great!
- You MUST book a cooking class with Ofelia if you are in Rome. Her and her husband Leonardo were so hospitable and instantly made me feel at home in their gorgeous apartment. The carbonara we made was out of this world delicious, and Ofelia provided so many details about the history of Roman cuisine, and this dish in particular. This experience was the absolute highlight of my trip in Rome and I can't recommend taking a cooking class with Ofelia enough!! :)

Cesarina from 2022Location: Rome Languages: Italian and EnglishMine 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!
