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.

Reviews of Holy Pizza cooking classes in Rome:

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."

Vice Italia pastry making classes in Rome reviews:

Awesome cannoli, tiramisu, gelato making class!
"Our party of three adults had an awesome time making and eating cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato with our very attentive and knowledgeable chefs Bea and Riccardo, along with our delightful greeters Anna and Julia. It was just a fun morning learning about some of our favorite desserts. We couldn't believe that we found a class making exactly what we wanted and we will definitely be making these recipes at home. We had taken pasta and pizza cooking classes previously and so were looking for something different like this class this time. We chose to arrive by taxi to class at the "bakery lab" which is in Rome but outside of the "Roman center" and at our request, our greeters called a taxi for our return which arrived in just a couple of minutes. We highly recommend!!"

We all can't wait to try out her recipies at home. It was relaxing and enjoyable! Next time in Rome we will have to do another class with Marilee to learn to make some more dishes."

Our family of five (two adults, a 16, 13 and 9 year old) all had a great time in her home. She immediately made us feel welcome and put us to work. It was like being with family.

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."

Best cooking class! Fun, tasty, and memorable!
"Daniela is an amazing guide who is extremely personable and knowledgeable. She made our experience memorable and fun!
