: There are experiences you think will be “nice”… and then they become so much more. The one we had with Giorgio and Maria was exactly like that. There were three of us – me, Francesca, and Felicienne. We were greeted with a carefully prepared aperitivo and two people genuinely ready to listen to us. Even before we started cooking, a genuine exchange was created, filled with chatter, smiles, and mutual curiosity. We weren’t customers: we were guests. We were only supposed to make ravioli… but between laughs and technical advice, we found ourselves making tortellini, cappelletti, and even spaghetti alla chitarra. Getting our hands into the dough, literally, guided by their patience and passion, was engaging and authentic. Giorgio and Maria don’t just teach a recipe: they share a piece of their history. The best part? Sitting down together at the table and dining with what we had prepared. At that point, Claudia, their daughter, joined us, and the atmosphere became even more familiar. A spontaneous, sincere bond was created – the kind you don’t expect but that you take away with a smile. It was an experience full of positive emotions, human warmth, and true simplicity. It’s not just a homemade pasta course: it’s a moment of sharing that makes you feel part of something. If you’re thinking about booking this experience, do it. You won’t just go home with the technique for making perfect ravioli, but with an authentic memory… and with the desire to see them again soon. 💛
: A cooking class at Maria and Giorgio’s home in Rome turned out to be the most unforgettable experience of our entire trip. From the moment we stepped into their warm, welcoming kitchen, we felt like part of the family. Maria is truly a five‑star chef and an exceptional teacher—patient, funny, and incredibly skilled. She guided us through every step of making fresh pasta and the most delicious tiramisu we’ve ever tasted. What made the experience even more special was sharing an authentic Italian meal with Maria, Giorgio, and their family. The conversation, the laughter, the homemade dishes—everything felt genuine and full of heart. It wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a glimpse into real Roman life. If you’re visiting Rome and want something meaningful, delicious, and memorable, this is it. An absolute highlight of our trip.
: Maria and her family are wonderful hosts and people. We were instantly comfortable in their home and shared many stories, laughs and cultural exchanges over delicious food and wine. I felt like we had made friends by the time the night was over and would genuinely recommend this experience to anyone. Brava!
: My husband and I had a cooking class with Maria and Giorgio and had a wonderful time! They were both so friendly and welcoming, and it was lovely to spend time in their home and meet some of their family. I was unexpectedly able to practice my French language skills with Giorgio which led to a lot of laughs for us all. The food was absolutely delicious and my husband and I both really enjoyed learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. We’re looking forward to making tiramisu for our families this Christmas. Grazie mille to Maria and Giorgio for an evening that was a highlight of our vacation.
: A wonderful afternoon with Maria. I felt so welcome in her home. Her skill with pasta and tiramisu making and her patience with teaching me made the lesson so very enjoyable. A truly memorable afternoon that I will remember always
