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.

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)!

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.

Maria & Giorgio welcomed us into their house like friends, this was an amazing experience we can’t recommend enough. We had so much fun making the food and the conversation flowed easily through dinner. It was one of the best experiences we had in Italy.

Ottima cena. Ingredienti di prima scelta... Dall'antipasto, abbondante e saporito, al dole (tiramisù che adoro), passando per i 2 primi (che avrei assaggiato ancora per la bontà) e per il secondo+contorno, altrettanto gradevole... Famiglia ospitante accogliente e simpatica... Ci hanno fatto sentire casa!

Che bella mangiata!  - April 2025
