Food Tour: discover the best places where to taste the finest local food & wine
Private Experience
Your experience
The tour of Rome's most iconic market will be just the appetizer of a full immersion among the flavors of the capital: you will start at the market to choose the products that will most capture your palates. Once you have done your shopping, you will return home to cook and taste the dishes you have prepared together. And what will be eaten? You will choose the ingredients and thus the menu!
Carmelo was such a WONDERFUL host and such a pleasure to be around. From the moment he greeted us, he made us feel welcomed. He walked us to the market to by the freshest ingredients and welcomed us into his home. He made the cooking experience fun and not at all daunting. He kept us at ease with wonderful interactions and a joyful experience. I cannot say enough good things about him, his skillset as a cook, and his hospitality. We would highly recommend him to others.

This was our favorite activity during our trip to Rome! Everyone should book it! Carmelo was so great! He shared his family's olive oil and Lemoncello. He was a great teacher and got us all involved in the process...even my niece got in on the action. I feel like we could actually go home and make pasta- and certainly could make tiramisu. He welcomed us into his home and made everyone comfortable, and he had great suggestions for the rest of our time in Rome too! It was way too much food!! but so delicious, we couldn't stop eating. I would definitely recommend.

Carmelo was an excellent cooking instructor and delightful to get to know. He included personal elements into the class - family recipes, traditions - and planned the timing very well. Everything was delicious as well. We enjoyed the class very much and would highly recommend Carmelo.

HI! I'm Carmelo, a Sicilian who moved to Rome. I love the flavors of the south and I like to mix them with those typical of Roman cuisine. At the same time I love playing with regional traditions (from Neapolitan to Piedmontese). My strong dishes are, in fact, the mains of traditional Italian cuisine (with some contamination). I am passionate about everything related to food and wine and home design. I'd like to welcome guests into my home to make them feel like they were my old friends at dinner and give them an all-Italian experience (as well as a cuddle).
