Roman Chef In The Making

Published on Jan, 2024

This was my 2nd visit to Rome, had done all the normal sites so wanted to get out of town and experience something new and fun. This was a fabulous experience. Let me start off by saying, I'm not a big Italian food lover, but that's not why I did the class, wanted the experience of making fun dishes and meeting new people. Our chef, Eugene, was great and very patient with us non-chefs, thanks for making the class a delight. The town where we went for the class, Mazzano Romano, was exactly what I wanted in a small Italian village, loved every moment of our time there. If you're looking for a fun, laid back, new experience in Rome, pick this adventure, you won't be disappointed.

Best time on entire trip

Published on Dec, 2023

Went on this excursion in December with a friend. It was by far the most fun we had. There is a maximum of 8 people, but it ended up being just my friend and I. We were driven to a small town outside of Rome where Roy took us shopping at a few local shops to pickup ingredients for what we were going to make. Then we went to an apartment in a castle to start preparing our meal. We made several dishes some of which were ravioli and tiramisu. I can’t speak more highly of Roy and Tamara. They were both patient and just wonderful instructors. I would suggest this to anyone who wishes to do something unique.

Cooking Class Experience of a Lifetime

Published on Nov, 2023

We are still marveling in the perfection of this experience with Chef Roy. We loved every second of this beautifully curated day. The charm of the town of Mazzano Romano simply elevates the uniqueness. Chef Roy’s instruction was superb. History and technique were paired perfectly with wine and taste and the day will be permanently etched in our minds, stomachs and hearts. Much applause to this tour!

The Small group is worth its price

Published on Oct, 2023

The small group in the activity of learning to cook is a bonus, Luka and the other chefs did amazing job and pointing out the little tricks and tips, and making today’s event memorable

Fabulous experience

Published on Oct, 2023

Roy and his assistant Tamara, were absolutely fabulous! His directions and guidance Was delivered in a kind and entertaining way. The food we made was actually better than what we experienced at some of the local restaurants in Roma. We have already ordered accessories to continue our experiences making pasta when we return home. This was a highlight of our trip, next time we are in Roma, we will book with Roy again! Thank you thank you thank you my friend.
