Maria

I 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.

Maria’s cooking class was a highlight of our trip to Rome. As a family of three, we were able to learn about Italian cuisine while preparing various pasta and tiramisu. Maria was patient and attentive during our evening. She and her husband prepared a delicious meal, including homemade wine which we thoroughly enjoyed. Eating our pasta dishes and enjoying the dessert were such fun. It was a relaxed evening filled with meaningful conversation, laughter and numerous stories. We would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome.

Fabulous way to enjoy and learn about Italian food. Maria and Georgio were so welcoming allowing us to help prepare dishes and dine with them in their beautiful home. Nothing was too much trouble and it was an absolutely memorable experience. Could not recommend more highly. I hope we can do this experience again.

This was such a beautiful experience and highlight of our visit to Rome! We had so much fun getting to know the whole group. Maria and Giorgio were such kind hosts, we felt very welcomed into their home. Maria was very patient and helpful sharing techniques and it was particularly special to get to use a pasta guitar. The entire meal was delicious (the tiramisu was next level!). So grateful to have a home cooked meal and connect with such lovely people!

In general, everyone was super sweet, the food was amazing, and I would recommend to everyone.

We had the most incredible pasta and tiramisu cooking experience with Maria and Giorgio. They made us feel so welcome into their home and provided us with wonderful memories to share of our time in Rome. The food was delicious, and the evening was full of laughter and fun for all. I cannot recommend enough to book an experience with Maria and Giorgio when you visit the city of Rome. Thank you again so much for the loveliest evening for my husband and I!
