You will first meet a roman chef in his house and you will mingle with prosecco and appetizers on his roof top terrace with an amazing view over the city and the Vatican. Then you will prepare a home made pasta, made with your own hands under the guidance of the chef. In the end you will enjoy the authentic roman meal like at a dinner party with friends, alongside with some of the best local whines.

Great experience....amazing Chef Fransceco. Great place and the rooftop was great to enjoy a beautiful sunset. Loved making the pasta and learning about the traditional way of cooking with organic ingredients.

We received this experience as a wedding gift, and it was our favorite activity in Rome. It felt like having dinner with friends on a rooftop terrace. The host was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions (no lactose), and worked up a menu that was delicious for everyone. The host brought out a tray of veggies from the farmers market, and we used that as our inspiration for what to make.
It was us, and four other pairs/couples who didn’t know each other. We learned how to make pestos, sauce, and different kinds of pasta. And then we all sat down to eat together.
The host gave us local wines to try and entertained us throughout the evening.
A wonderful way to wrap up our Rome adventures.

Where do I begin….many firsts and great memories to share.
Our family of 3 is comprised of my spouse and 17yr old daughter.
We felt welcomed from the start.
Took a 15min taxi from Piazza Navona to the location. Accessible and no hassle as there are plenty of ways to get there.
Chef Francesco is a subject matter expert, no doubt. He guided us step by step, with the ease and camaraderie of your friendly and very helpful next door neighbor.
Fresh ingredients, “farm-stand to tavola” concept, culminating with a golden hour sunset freshly home made Roman dinner overlooking the Vatican and the mountain range. Absolutely idillic. On top of that, meaningful conversations and cultural exchanges.
So much to share and treasure.
Grazie Chef Francesco for opening the culinary and culture doors for us to learn and bring this experience forward. Ciao!

This was absolutely one of the highlights of our trips! Francesco was such a warm host and patient teacher, and spending the evening on his roof learning to make traditional Italian meals was an evening we will never forget. We did this class with our teen daughters and our group included two honeymooning couples and a mother with her adult son, and Francesco was able to make it fun and informative for everyone. I would highly recommend this wonderful Roman experience.

We booked this very last minute, day of in fact, and had an incredible evening that surpassed all expections. Francesco was amazing and not only made the experience fun but we learned a ton and got a lot of hands on experience preparing one of our favorite meals of the trip. We would highly recommend booking this experience and can't wait to make our own pasta at home.
