About this tour
Learn to cook three Roman dishes in Trastevere's lively kitchen quarter with a chef who knows the neighbourhood's culinary traditions. This three-hour class has you prepping and cooking each course from scratch, then eating what you've made at a shared table with local wine. You'll start with an aperitivo—wine and snacks to ease in—then move straight to hands-on work with seasonal ingredients sourced for the day's menu.

What to expect
You'll arrive to a welcoming drink and snacks, then move into the kitchen where your chef walks you through each dish step by step. Expect chopping, stirring, tasting, and adjusting seasoning as you go—this isn't a demo, you're doing the work. The pace is relaxed; you're not racing. Once the food's ready, everything shifts: you clean up lightly, then sit down together to eat at a proper table. The wine comes out, the conversation flows, and you get to taste what your hands just made. Three hours covers the lot—teaching, cooking, and eating.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The kitchen can get warm, especially in summer. Let the chef know about dietary requirements when you book. Trastevere has tram stops and is walkable from most central areas.
