- My mom and I spent our last night in Rome with Maria and Giorgio, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, Maria, her husband Giorgio, and their friends Isabella and Meriem made us feel genuinely welcomed, not like tourists, but like guests in their home. The pasta-making class itself was wonderful. We made three types of pasta, and Maria was an exceptional teacher throughout, patient, hands-on, and always thoughtful about explaining the why behind each step, not just the technique. Even as complete beginners, we felt confident and had a great time throughout. The meal that followed was something special. We were treated to a beautiful spread of antipasti in honor of Labor Day, including fava beans and pecorino cheese, along with artichokes, meatballs, fresh bread, pastries, and more. Everything was delicious and incredibly generous. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the warmth of the conversation. Isabella and Meriem graciously helped with translation where needed, and the conversation flowed naturally and openly from the start. We met each other with genuine curiosity and left feeling like the evening had been as much about real human connection as it was about food. At the end of the night, they even called a cab for us and waited with us until it arrived. That kind of hospitality is rare. Maria is a gem and her home is beautiful. I would recommend this experience to absolutely anyone visiting Rome.
- It was a fabulous experience to meet Maria & learn how to make pasta from an expert. We were made to feel very welcome into the family home & really enjoyed our cooking lesson. Maria went above & beyond, which we thoroughly appreciated & enjoyed immensely. A must do when you come to Rome & highly recommended. Thank you so much.
- It was the best experience of my life. Being able to cook and make fresh pasta and dessert through the teachings of a true Italian was wonderful.
- Everyone should have this experience. Being able to make weak dough at home with a wonderful person. Maria is fantastic, I love you.
- We were guests of Mrs. Maria for a cooking lesson that turned into a wonderful convivial gathering. Welcomed by her and her son, we tried our hand at making fresh pasta, immersed in stories of Abruzzo traditions. But the real surprise was dinner. Once at the table, joined also by Mrs. Maria’s husband, an unforgettable feast began: a succession of appetizers chosen from local delicacies and their own homemade products, amidst chatter and laughter. What a satisfaction to eat the pasta made with our own hands, seasoned with an excellent tomato sauce! We ended on a high note with a delicious dessert prepared by Maria. But beyond the excellent quality of the ingredients, what struck us most was the atmosphere: thanks to the warmth of Maria and her family, we truly felt at home. A rare welcome that makes this experience unique!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Rome (RM) Languages: Italian and EnglishI love preparing first courses with homemade pasta, such as maccheroni alla chitarra, ravioli, and lasagna, along with risottos and dried pasta dishes featuring mushrooms and various vegetables. I have happily experimented with many dishes from Abruzzese cuisine, including ndurciullune, pallotte cacio e ova, and stuffed rabbit. Additionally, whenever I have the chance, I enjoy being inspired by the typical cuisines of Tuscany and Lazio.
