Hi from 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.

- What an absolutely wonderful evening - what a great experience with Maria and her beautiful family - truely authentic we had a great time learn how to make pasta and traditional Tiramisu (the best Ive ever tasted) A huge thank you to Maria and the family an experience we will truely treasure 😍 so blessed to have met them 😍
- An outstanding experience. The best in Italy . I would thoroughly recommend it . Maria and her family were fantastic. We all enjoyed it including the kids and we all learnt a lot.
- Best Cooking Class in Rome – Homemade Pasta AND Tiramisu?! I’ve taken cooking classes all over, but none where I felt like part of the family AND left stuffed like a cannoli. Handmade pasta magic – Rolling ravioli and cranking chitarra through that wooden "pasta guitar" was SO satisfying (and way harder than it looks). The hosts are LEGENDS – Not just teachers, but storytellers, wine-pourers, and all-around awesome humans. TI RAMI SU. Forget restaurants – their homemade tiramisu ruined me for all others. Creamy, boozy, perfection. I may need to fly back just for another bite. We cooked, laughed, ate like kings, and even talked about life like old friends. A full-on Italian experience. Grazie mille for the memories (and the food coma)!
- Fantastic, fabulous, generous. A wonderful walking tour and food and hospitality spectacular.
- My 2 friends and I had the most wonderful experience with Maria and Georgio. Their generosity and kindness, allowing us into their home so we could learn the secrets of pasta making. Then sharing a meal which included the results of our endeavours. There was much joy around the table. This experience was the highlight of our time in Rome. 5 stars really aren’t enough to convey how much we enjoyed ourselves. I look forward to returning to Rome and having another lesson with Maria and Georgio.
