Highlights

You’ll step into a Roman kitchen and actively prepare traditional dishes with your own hands, guided naturally by Ilaria. Along the way, you’ll learn family tricks behind each recipe — gestures and timing that never make it into cookbooks — and then enjoy everything you’ve cooked together in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.


This is not a cooking class in the traditional sense. It’s a dining experience in a real Roman home in Trastevere, where you cook together, talk, drink wine, and sit at the table like locals do. No uniforms or professional kitchens — just a family home, real food, and genuine connection.


If you truly want to understand what Italian cooking feels like, there’s no better place than a family kitchen. Born and raised in Rome, Ilaria comes from three generations of chefs and loves sharing not only recipes, but also the memories and traditions behind them.

Itinerary

  • Via Garibaldi, 39

    This experience is designed for everyone : complete beginners, confident home cooks, couples, solo travelers, and families with children. With a small group of no more than 8 guests, there’s plenty of time to cook, chat, ask questions, and enjoy each moment at an easy, unhurried pace. Together, you’ll make fresh pasta completely from scratch, shaping 3 classic types : fettuccine, ravioli, and orecchiette. You’ll then prepare 3 traditional Roman sauces — cacio e pepe, fresh tomato sauce with basil, and Norma sauce — using seasonal ingredients and time-tested techniques. Along the way, you’ll enjoy small appetizers, wine, and plenty of conversation. Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down together to share the meal — often the most memorable part of the experience, when cooking naturally turns into connection. To finish, you’ll prepare Tiramisu following Ilaria’s family recipe : simple, honest, and deeply satisfying. You’ll leave with practical skills, recipes that truly work at home, and above all, the memory of time spent in a Roman kitchen where strangers become guests, and guests leave feeling like friends.
