18 Best Cooking Classes in Rome for 2025 (Tried & Loved)

Looking for the best cooking classes in Rome?

That’s how we ended up in a charming cooking studio tucked away in Rome’s historic center — and honestly, it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.

That morning, we joined a small-group Rome cooking class — not realizing we’d leave feeling like part of a Roman family.

We rolled fresh pasta, stirred a simmering tomato sauce, and laughed with other travellers as the kitchen filled with the smell of garlic, basil, and pure magic.

By the time we all sat down to eat, pouring wine and passing plates around the table, it didn’t feel like a class at all. It felt like lunch at a friend’s home — warm, fun, and full of good food.

Rome Cooking Class Near the Vatican – 2025 Reviews:

Excellent pasta and tiramisu making class in Rome
"Marina was an amazing teacher! Our class involved making fettuccine, ravioli, and tiramisu. Our family was a family of 5 with 1 child who was 4 years old. Marina was an expert in pasta making and added very practical tips for each dish. She provided assistance where needed but also let you experience for yourself. She made it a lot of fun and educational.

The pasta portions were huge and we even took some back to have for the next day. For our fettuccine you had the choice of carbonara, pesto, and cacio e pepe. All were delicious and recipes were provided afterwards. Marina somehow balanced teaching the class and helping our young daughter finish her pasta. She is an amazing teacher and we would take this class again if in Rome."

This is a truly special cooking class in Rome—one we’d love to take ourselves.

Hosted by the wonderful Marilee, this hands-on experience takes place in her Roman home and lasts at least 5 hours — a full afternoon of cooking, eating, and making unforgettable memories.

You’ll prepare a variety of traditional Italian dishes, including:

  • Pizzelle – mini deep-fried pizzas
  • Ricotta and spinach ravioli with butter and sage sauce
  • Pappardelle (long flat pasta) with ragù sauce
  • Saltimbocca alla Romana – veal topped with prosciutto and sage

As you cook, you’ll enjoy great company and Italian wine, and at the end, you'll sit down for a full meal featuring all your handmade dishes. It’s more than just a class — it’s a warm, authentic Roman experience.

Marilee is fantastic with children, making this class a great choice for families too.

And the best part? A private driver will take you back to your accommodation afterward — relaxed, satisfied, and smiling.

Marilee’s Private Rome Cooking Class – 2025 Guest Reviews:

Highlight of our trip - must cook with Marilee
"This was definitely a highlight of our trip in Rome. Liv tours has a gem with Marilee's cooking class. We are a family of 6 which was a perfect number to experience pasta making, raviolis, etc... we ate what we cooked throughout the afternoon, drank wine and learned so much from spending time with Marilee in her kitchen. 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."

Every morning, Claudia and Bruno open the doors of their countryside home to welcome guests into their kitchen—and their way of life. You'll hop on an early train from Roma Termini (Train 21904), and they’ll be waiting at the Zagarolo station to greet you with a smile.

This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a warm, relaxed Italian Sunday lunch, prepared the traditional way. Over the next 3.5 hours, you’ll work together to create a multi-course meal using local, seasonal ingredients—like flour from a nearby mill and eggs from a local farm.

The menu changes with the season, but expect to make dishes like:

  • Crispy vegetable fritters or savoury strudel
  • Handmade pasta—lasagna, ravioli, or fettuccine
  • Main course of saltimbocca rolls
  • A homemade dessert—like a fruit tart or creamy parfait

And when it’s all ready, you’ll sit down together in the garden, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, to enjoy the incredible meal you've prepared—served with homemade wine, of course.
