Amazing immersive Italian experience!!!
The cooking show and opera experience was amazing!!!! Ana gave very clear instructions and even let us try our hand at folding pasta. The music was extremely enjoyable and the opera singer encouraged us to sing along to songs we knew at the end of the evening, which was very fun. And- the food was to die for. We would attend this event again and recommend to everyone!! We didn’t need any dietary accommodations but they asked multiple times throughout the night to make sure everyone was covered.

Outstanding Dinner Experience
The Rome Dinner Show with Live Opera and Cooking Experience was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed it, and felt it was one of the best things we did while visiting Rome. The singer and pianist were both excellent and added so much to the overall experience. The chef was fun and delivered a fabulous pasta dinner with wine and dessert. I would definitely do this again. I highly recommend this experience!

Amazing Experience!
This is truly the most amazing, funny and unique experience I had in my own city! When we got there the venue was full of tourists having classes of pasta and pizza: preparing their own meal and enjoying every moments. We have attended instead a private show cooking and had dinner with a menu prepared just for us and in front of us by a young professional chef, a women! There was a duo of musicians with live entertainment: a pianist and a singer so good and pleasant to listen while eating! We had a starter of Burrata on tomato sorbetto and pesto, then two home made pasta cooked express with explanations by the Chef. I have loved Ravioli with ricotta and zucchini sauce! The also Mezze maniche Gricia style were served. At the end the chef prepared a Vanilla gelato with Amarena. The waiter was perfect and present discretely. I would return with friends and suggest all these experiences to locals as well!
