The best cooking experience in Rome!
This was the most wonderful experience. We made 2 appertivos, a stuffed squash blossom and Roman artichoke hearts. Giovanni walked us through every step and made it easy to replicate at home. We made 2 homemade pastas and 2 sauces and tiramisu. Everything was amazing and the experience was the absolute best I could have asked for. I went by myself and thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

Cook with them!
One of the highlights of our trip! So fun for everyone. Highly recommend. My family ate things they would NEVER eat at home if I offered 😆. Can’t wait to recreate recipes at home.

An unforgettable family experience!
We had an amazing experience at Cook With Us! Our entire family of 12 had a fantastic time learning how to make authentic Italian pasta from scratch and discovering the secrets behind the ingredients. Everyone—from the kids to the grandparents—had an absolute blast. A fun, delicious, and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! 🇮🇹🍝❤️

Hands-on cooking with Gianni and Cesare
Our evening with Gianni and Cesare was a highlight of our week in Rome. We were fortunate to be in a small group of four and had so much fun, learned a lot, and created (with our hosts’ assistance ) a wonderful meal of which to be proud.
Gianni is charming, skilled and very personable. I would definitely recommend booking this great experience!

Real, generous, and a little magical
We booked Gianni & Cesare — Cook It With Us in Rome and honestly had one of our best nights in Italy. Gianni (owner and executive chef) is the kind of host you hope for - warm, funny, totally in control—backed by two sous-chefs who keep things humming. Nothing felt rushed or fussy; it was relaxed but somehow precise. Our glasses never went empty, and we were very well fed.
The food: we started with tomatoes caramelized in what I’m pretty sure was the best olive oil we had all trip. Then pasta from scratch - silky fettuccine and a curled shape (I’m blanking on the name - maybe mafalde?) - plus zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies. The sauce was rustic and perfect, and we finished with tiramisù with a hit of Marsala. Simple, beautiful, memorable.
What made it special wasn’t just how good everything tasted; it was how much we learned without feeling like we were in “class.” Gianni explains technique, tells stories, and somehow makes a room of strangers feel like friends. Price felt right for the quality and the whole experience.
If I had one tiny note: come hungry. Portions are generous, and you won’t want to leave anything behind. Otherwise, no notes—just book it. These are remarkable chefs, and it was a night we’ll be talking about for a long time.
