About this tour
Spend three hours in Daniela and Mario's Roman kitchen learning to shape pasta by hand and cook seasonal Italian dishes from their family repertoire. You'll prepare starters through dessert alongside the multi-generational household, then sit down together to eat what you've made. This is cooking as conversation—expect stories about their territory woven between technique and taste, not a formal class but an afternoon where you become part of their kitchen rhythm.
Highlights
- Hand-roll fresh pasta with Daniela's four decades of kitchen knowledge
- Prepare a full meal from starters to dolci depending on season
- Eat family-style at their table with Mario and Nicolò
- Learn recipes passed down through generations
- No restaurant plating—honest, territorial Italian food
What to expect
You arrive at their home and roll up your sleeves immediately. Daniela will walk you through each dish step-by-step while you handle the prep and cooking. Expect to knead, shape, stir and taste as you go. Mario and Nicolò join in—there's banter, corrections, laughter, and probably some Italian spoken faster than you expected. The menu shifts with what's in season. Once everything's ready, you sit together at their table and eat properly, not standing at a counter. This is their kitchen, their rhythm, their way of feeding people.
Good to know
The experience runs three hours. Wheelchair accessible throughout. Public transport nearby and pickup available. Bring an appetite and comfortable clothes—you'll be moving around and your hands will be in dough. No need to book dietary restrictions ahead, but mention them when you arrive.
