Amazing and delicious!
"This class was amazing! In a beautiful area of Roma, Angela was a fantastic instructor who taught our small group how to make 3 types of pasta and gave us plenty of tips to bring italian cooking into our homes. She was very passionate and shared with us her love for sharing her culture with visitors. Our pasta turned out amazing and you will not leave hungry! If considering a cooking class while in Roma, book with Pastamania! I would even book the same class again for the great food and experience."

Was one of our favourite tours in Italy!"

Unique culinary adventure
"Unique cooking experience with Chef Ilaria, who welcomed us into her bright spacious home kitchen with sprawling garden tucked away in the heart of Trastevere. We made an appetizer of tempura with fresh veggies (eggplant, zucchini, carrots) and enjoyed that with flavorful bruschetta and a cheese plate with 3 different Italian jams (fig, pumpkin, onion). We enjoyed these with wine as we worked on making a tiramisu from scratch as well as 2 different pastas - a cacio e pepe fettuccine and a ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach in a fresh tomato sauce. Everything was delicious and her teaching style was enlightening and patient. I did the class with my son, who is a complete novice, and he even thought the experience was fantastic. I loved that her family came in to chat with us, eat a bit, and help out. Her husband even took photos for us. It was a wonderful night… And I hope to do it again the next time I visit Rome.

Holy Pizza - Pizza and gelato making class near the Vatican reviews:

A must do experience!
"We landed in Rome two hours before entering this kitchen located near the Vatican. We chose an activity to keep us awake and going and it was the right decision. (Although I think Carla, our wonderful host, would have liked to have a more lively and well-rested bunch). First, Carla was wonderful and friendly and a great first impression of the people of Rome. Second, we all learned a lot about the Roman pizza, making the dough, etc. Third, the fresh strawberry gelato that was made was also really interesting. Fourth, it all tasted so good - we each had our own pizzas with various ingredients to our liking. Carla has been in the professional culinary world so she was very informative and extremely friendly. Highly recommend!"

A Wonderful Experience
"This experience was one of the highlights of our Italy vacation. The space was beautiful. The chef was passionate about teaching us how to make pizza and gelato. He made the experience a true delight for my son. As a vegan, I was overjoyed that he was able to accommodate my dietary restrictions."

Best Pizza Ever!
"Luca is the best! Super knowledgeable and fun. Some of the best pizzas we’ve ever had. Kids friendly too! Our 12 yo and 9 yo had a blast and want to come back next year!!!"

Fun and informative pizza/gelato class
"We are so glad that we booked this pizza and gelato class. Carla, our chef/instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining! She expertly explained and demonstrated all about the process of creating and handling the dough. The pizza was delicious. Peter was our gelato instructor. He broke down the steps to making the perfect gelato. There is a big difference between the texture of a good gelato vs a poorly made one. We made a delicious strawberry gelato. Soooo yummy. All in all, we are happy that we took the class. Very cool place. Carla and Peter made it extra special. Oh yeah… and Carla can sing!!"

Our chefs were Azia and Jamila. Both were very kind, explained everything easy for us to understand, had great energy, and kept it fun. Extra big shoutout because I have a medical condition, and I had an issue arise. They both were so helpful, kept checking on me afterwards, and offered all the right things I’m a nurse and they did exactly what I would have if I saw someone else present like me. After about 10 minutes I jumped right back in, and they kept checking on me until the end of the class.

Memorable experience
"I had a wonderful experience with my 15 and 8 year old daughters. Everything was top notch starting with Chef Furio.

I’m someone who always likes to try new things and new places wherever I go, but this is a clasd I’d certainly come back to."

Totally worthwhile!
"Lory was so personable, pleasant, and engaging. We went as an extended family of 6, ages 7 to 75. It was a memorable way to finish our 16 day trip. Tonight as I write this we are cooking based upon what we were taught. Highly recommend as a fun and useful way to spend time together as a family.

And the food was perfection! Davide really knows what he’s talking about! He understands food science and makes it simple for novices (like my family). We have four kids ages 7 - 20 and all four said this was their favorite day in Rome during the week they spent there. After our time together, Davide took us to Villa D’Este. It was a beautiful estate to walk around after all of the food we ate. This was a day that engaged all of our senses - and every moment was a treat!"

Fun family class
"We enjoyed the personalized cooking lesson provided by Federica. She was very knowledgeable and patient with us as we prepared pineapple gelato and homemade tiramisu. We made every part of the tiramisu from scratch and not with premade processed ingredients as we might typically do in the US. Lots of fun but be prepared that the kitchen is hot as Italian kitchens are not air conditioned. Federica took photos and explained the process for both recipes well and made the experience unforgettable."

Cooking class at Daniela's home in Rome reviews:

Genuine Fun
"All the glowing reviews are well deserved. So glad we booked this experience. My husband and I had a great time and our 3 teens throughly enjoyed it. Nicolo kept us well informed beforehand and arranging a pickup/drop off was so convenient. This family is so kind, friendly, and fun! A not to be missed experience!"

An evening well spent!
"From the moment we booked with the “Casa Club”, Nicolo, Daniela’s son, was so attentive to every detail. While we did help prepare delicious dishes with the D’Elia’s, the cultural experience and opportunity to connect with this authentic, loving family, was quite possibly the highlight of our 10 day trip. We looked at photos, told stories, laughed, and laughed some more. The food was outstanding but the relationships formed will last a lifetime. If you are considering booking, don’t hesitate, don’t delay. This is a must do if you are going to be in Rome!"

We have new members of our family
"We loved learning to make gnocchi and saltimbocca. The homemade chocolate gelato was amazing and lemoncello was perfect.. we enjoyed visiting with Daniela, Lorella and Nicolò. They made us feel at home - just like family. We highly recommend booking!!"

"The hosts/teachers were super flexible, we ended up making 4 different sauce's, and 2 noodles, they allowed us to make a sauce we asked for, beyond the two the had planned, plus a Fourth for another party that had an allergy. Not to mention plenty of drinks, and bread and an appetizer before we started, and a full service dinner afterwards. Plus the education and history of pasta and sauces and how you can start from one base sauce and make many others. Would highly recommend."
