Private Home Cooking Class with Andrea and Arianna in Rome

About this tour

Spend three hours in a Rome apartment learning to cook Roman and Italian classics from Arianna, a chef, and her partner Andrea, a language teacher. You'll prepare lunch and dinner from scratch, picking up techniques honed over a decade. Andrea shares insider knowledge about the city's food scene and lesser-known spots while you work. The class balances hands-on cooking with conversation—expect flour under your fingernails and proper meals to eat when you're done.

Highlights

• Cook two full meals alongside a professional chef
• Learn Roman pasta dishes and regional Italian recipes
• Get local tips on Rome's food culture from a native
• Work in a home kitchen, not a commercial school
• Eat what you've made—lunch and dinner included

What to expect

You'll arrive at their apartment and jump straight into cooking. Arianna leads technique and flavour; Andrea keeps things relaxed and chatty, throwing in stories about the city. Expect to knead dough, make sauce from scratch, and handle proper Italian ingredients. There's genuine teaching here—you're not just following steps but understanding why things work. Midway through you'll sit down to lunch from the morning's work, then move into dinner prep. By the end you'll have cooked two proper meals and eaten both of them.
