Ciao da Ofelia!

La mia è una cucina che parte soprattutto dalle ricette della tradizione familiare. Sono nata in Calabria, ma la mia è una famiglia ramificata nella storia culturale e di conseguenza anche culinaria. Una bisnonna di famiglia ebrea sposata con un bisnonno aviatore americano, un'altra che ha abbandonato i balli con i consoli per un matrimonio con un intellettuale di origini contadine, tutto unito alla tradizione di montagna calabrese. Dal ramo di origini giudaiche ho preso il grande amore per l'agrodolce, per le ricette fermentate e i profumi speziati, dal ramo nobiliare alcune ricette che ho scoperto essere parenti della cucina a volte siciliana a volte napoletana (da Regno delle due Sicilie:), alcune che non mi è capitato mai di ritrovare in altre case. Io in prima persona mi sono trasferita a Roma ormai quasi vent' anni fa per studiare e ci sono rimasta, qui ho assimilato anche qualche ricettario dal mio compagno che è romano trasteverino, facendo mie delle ricette superlative della tradizione romana, come i primi classici o i maritozzi, che personalizzo spesso con ripieni che riportano me e i miei ospiti in Calabria!

My wife and I chose this experience as part of our honeymoon visit to Rome, and it was perfect. Ofelia & her husband greeted us with warm hospitality in their beautiful Trastevere home. She walked us through how to prepare fresh pasta and a summer tiramisu while making very enjoyable conversation. The meal turned out delicious, she is a superb cook. We loved learning about Italian culinary culture, they are so passionate and knowledgeable. These hosts are such a joy to spend time with — we didn’t want to leave! Do yourself a favor and make this a mandatory stop as part of your visit to Rome, you’ll be glad you did.

As an avid fan of both cooking and eating, I can confidently say this experience was the highlight of my first trip to Italy, and a lasting memory from one of our final nights. Ofelia and her husband made my family of four feel like we were visiting dear friends for an intimate dinner. Ofelia was warm, welcoming, and guided us through making Pasta Carbonara completely from scratch. There’s truly no better way to spend an evening in Rome than preparing one of the city’s signature dishes. Despite our family having a wide range of cooking experience, we each created picture-perfect pasta with her guidance. I still can’t decide whether I enjoyed making the pasta or eating it more — but that’s the best kind of dilemma to have. For anyone seeking an authentic, personal experience in Rome, I highly recommend Ofelia’s class. Thank you so much for your hospitality — hoping to return to Italy sooner rather than later!

A gem of an experience and the highlight of our visit to Rome. We learned how to made fresh pasta and Tiramisu, both of which we will make at home. Ofelia is very knowledgeable and she and her husband are wonderful hosts.

My fiance and I had the best time with Ofelia and her husband. They were extremely friendly and laid back and very thorough in her explanation of how to make the dish. We have already made noodles twice and they came out great!

You MUST book a cooking class with Ofelia if you are in Rome. Her and her husband Leonardo were so hospitable and instantly made me feel at home in their gorgeous apartment. The carbonara we made was out of this world delicious, and Ofelia provided so many details about the history of Roman cuisine, and this dish in particular. This experience was the absolute highlight of my trip in Rome and I can't recommend taking a cooking class with Ofelia enough!! :)
