    Ofelia was charming, engaging and expressed her love of food, her neighborhood and people. We shopped, cooked and ate a delicious meal of pasta, porcheta & dolce. Olfelia spent time explaining everything ina very unhurried manner. I would highly recommend!

Ofelia welcomed me and my daughters into her beautiful home for an evening of authentic Italian cooking, laughter, and storytelling. anyone seeking a genuine slice of Roman life. Should book this class immediately! Cooking with Ofelia isn't just about recipes; it's about creating unforgettable moments. It was the experience of a lifetime!

    What an amazing experience! My wife and I took a cooking lesson with Ofelia and had a wonderful experience. From the food, to the wine, and the company, it was an amazing afternoon that was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. I was a little nervous to try making pasta for the first time, but Ofelia made it fun and easy. We also really enjoyed spending time with a native Italian and with somebody who has lived in Rome for a long time. It was a wonderful cultural experience that we will never forget! Definitely would recommend this class to anyone in Rome!

    "Hello everyone! 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!
