Rome Cooking Class: Make Pizza and Pasta with Wine & Dessert

Such a fun experience! Had 3 generations and fun was had by all! Everyone was so nice and the food was amazing!

This was easily one of the worst experiences we had booking an activity during our trip to Italy, and I would strongly caution anyone considering this class. The Viator listing presented multiple pickup/location options in Rome, but it did not clearly identify where the cooking class would actually take place. Because location was important to our plans, I began contacting the provider on September 5, weeks before our scheduled class, specifically asking them to confirm the actual location. I reached out multiple times and received no response. Despite having weeks to answer a very simple question, the provider did not confirm the actual location until we were already inside the 24-hour cancellation window. Their only excuse was that they don't check their viator chat, and that it was my fault for not pursuing other contact methods. The location they finally provided was not the location marked on the map as pickup location on the listing and was substantially farther outside central Rome. They advertise transportation, but the designated pickup point was roughly 20 minutes away from the pickup point provided on the listing map, while the actual class location was only about another 10 minutes beyond that. Also, their 'free transportation' was just meeting at the train station. Had the actual location clearly been disclosed on the listing or had they answered any of our attempts to confirm it. We could have made an informed decision while we were still eligible to cancel. Instead, after repeatedly trying to get this information well in advance, we finally received it only after the cancellation deadline had effectively passed. When we explained the situation and requested a refund, the provider refused. As a result, we lost the entire $265 we paid for an activity we did not attend. To be clear, this was not a case of us changing our minds at the last minute. We proactively contacted the provider weeks beforehand because their listing was unclear. The combination of multiple locations being presented on the listing, their failure to answer repeated requests for clarification, disclosure of the actual location only after we were inside the cancellation window, and then refusing to refund our $265 was completely unacceptable. I can't review the cooking itself because we ultimately could not attend. I can, however, review how our booking was handled, and based on that experience I would never book with this provider again. If you're considering this class, get the exact location of the class itself confirmed IN WRITING before booking. Do not assume that any of the locations presented on the listing are where the class will actually take place.

Meeting place was very difficult to find. Our cabbie could not figure it out and if we went directly to the class it was an hour from our hotel

Sooooo much fun. We laughed and learned so much on how to make pizza and pasta. Highly recommend them, especially with alessia.

What a great time! This was one of the highlights of our visit to Rome. The pizza and pasta-making experience was fantastic, and everything we made tasted absolutely delicious! We especially loved getting out of downtown Rome and spending time in the beautiful countryside. The setting and atmosphere made the experience even more special. But one of the best parts was meeting people from around the world, cooking, laughing, and enjoying a meal together. The company was just as good as the pizza! A fun, authentic, and memorable experience. We highly recommend this cooking class!

Incorrect information on Tripadvisor with meeting place. Should be informed in the correct place so that one has enough time. A very nice course for couples who want to experience the little extra. As someone who likes to cook at home and likes to make a lot of food from scratch 👍

Overall a good experience! Instructor was good and patient. Great with kids. Only downside is the location. It’s misleading. The address on Viator is not where you go. It’s a 20/25 min train ride to the last stop from Rome termini and then one of their employees picks you up and that’s another 15 mins. I picked his place based on location. It wasn’t that bad but still, i wasn’t aware of that it’s so far from location. Pizza was good. Atmosphere was good. My kids would remember the experience as being positive.

We absolutely loved our experience here!! We had so much fun, got to know all the other cooking class attendees and just had so many laughs! The food was amazing and we would highly recommend!

The cooking class was such a fun experience!! From start to finish the class was engaging! We got to make homemade pizza and put it in the pizza oven ourselves (SO COOL)! Making pasta from scratch was an experience I’ll never forget! The class overall I would recommend time and time again! It was so fun and left with a full stomach!!

Wonderful experience except for the heat wave. This venue is outdoors in a beautiful country side but not recommended for August with heat and mosquitos. We did have a fabulous time learning new cooking methods.
