- Ofelia and Leonardo's class was fun, engaging, informative...and delicious! We learned to make pasta carbonara - a classic Roman specialty - with a full complement of Italian food geography, history and excellent vino thrown in for good measure. Their home was stately and authentically Italian in the Trastevere district of Rome. A delightful and educational day all aound!
- Ofelia was recommended to us by our son and daughter-in-law who had taken her class on one of their trips to Italy. We are so glad we got to do this - the highlight of our trip. We learned so much and the food was delicious, but more importantly, Ofelia and her husband made us feel like family. She gave us history info as she described the recipes and her sparkling personality made it fun!! I highly recommend her.
- We had an amazing time with Ofelia in her home for our cooking class. She made us feel like we were part of her family and we thank her for that. We all made homemade tiramisu and pasta that was incredible!!! I would highly recommend this experience on your visit to Rome. Thanks again Ofelia
- Everything was just right. Ofelia and Leonardo were warm, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The pasta making was fun, easy and expertly directed by Ofelia's competent and authoritative guidance. We learned about history, culture, the geographic idiosyncrasies of Italy's cuisine in a fast-paced and engaging lesson that accompanied the fun activity. And of course the meal, wine and dessert were hearty, delicious and satisfying. I can't say enough good things about the class. My only regret is that I can only give them five stars, because they certainly deserve more. Buonissimo!!!
- Ofelia & Leonardo hosted us at their home and Ofelia was amazing with her culinary art as well as her stories of cooking with her family and cooking in Rome! This was the best experience we had in Italy and we will always cherish our memories from this experience. We are excited to start cooking this recipe for our friends and family. We highly recommend Ofelia for an amazing cooking experience!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Rome (RM) 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!
