A 10/10 experience. Carlotta is such a lovely person with so much energy that you can’t get enough. I had an unforgettable time with her. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was very interesting to see how the process behind it is. An absolute must-do when you are in Rome.
Pasta, wine, laughs, tiramisu, gelato, and a whole lot of fun! This cooking class was an absolute blast—amazing food, fantastic vibes, and Carla will literally get anything that you need for class or a good time! Seriously, anything. 10/10 experience! Come hungry, leave happy, buzzed, and feeling like you just had the most amazing Italian cooking experience!
Book directly with Carlo on Instagram! She will be the officiant at my wedding if I have anything to do with it. This is the BEST cooking class I’ve ever attended! Carla was absolutely fantastic and a complete hoot. Brilliantly at cooking, teaching and making connections. This is the best cooking class in Rome area hands down. MUST TRY!
We had such a wonderful night at Carla’s! It was a great and unique way to connect and have fun with our teen & preteen children. The recipes were simple and straightforward and made us feel confident we could continue making them in the future. Each dish was delicious and Carla schedules the night perfectly so it flows nicely and you’re always doing something. Thank you for an unforgettable night, Carla! We would love to do it again in the future!
I can’t say enough good things about our cooking class in Rome. Carla made this experience one of the absolute highlights of our three‑week family trip through Italy and France. She’s an incredible chef and was unbelievable with our kids (8, 9, and 12 years old) — patient, fun, and able to keep them engaged the entire time. The food we made was delicious, and the kids still talk about this class as one of their favorite moments of the whole vacation. My wife and I completely agree. The setting was beautiful, easy to reach, and having convenient car parking made everything even smoother. I would recommend this experience to absolutely everyone — families, couples, anyone looking for a memorable and authentic Roman cooking adventure.
Amazing experience, Carla was so bubbly and fun! She taught the different parts of the meal and explained everything so well. She involved everyone in the group and kept the wine flowing.
Carla is amazing and has such good energy!! The space is so big and lovely for cooking in and fits plenty of people inside it! We stayed for 3 hours and had so much food we were stuffed- but the food was the best I’ve ever made! She worked with us for dietary options and speaks amazing English.
Cooking with Carla in Rome was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, her bright, bubbly personality set the tone—she made everyone feel welcome and immediately turned the experience into something fun and engaging. We learned how to make fresh fettuccine from scratch, along with authentic gelato and a rich, delicious tiramisu. Carla has a great way of balancing entertainment with education: she kept things lively and interactive, but also shared plenty of useful tips and insights about Italian cooking techniques and ingredients. What really stood out was how effortless she made everything feel. Even if you’re not an experienced cook, she guides you in a way that builds confidence while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. By the end, it felt less like a class and more like cooking with a friend who just happens to be an expert. If you’re in Rome and looking for a memorable, hands-on experience that combines great food, learning, and laughter, cooking with Carla is an absolute must.
Carla is the best! Book a lesson, you will not be disappointed! We learned so much and had a fun and relaxed time!
I’ve done other cooking classes in Italy and this was by far my favorite one. The head chef and staff is so friendly. This was so much fun. This is a must try class in Italy!
Amazing experience and food! Was such a great time and Carla was such a fun person and a great teacher would definitely come back
Loved it! So much fun! I highly recommend this place. Lovely people and great food! Thank you so much! The tiramisu was delicious and my favorite
Such a fun and genuine experience! We made fresh pasta from scratch, laughed the whole time, and enjoyed our meal together with flowing wine and great company. Carlotta’s kitchen in Garbatella feels warm and local — like cooking at a friend’s home in Rome. Grazieee
Incredible experience, we cooked 3 classic Italian dishes from the first to the last step and everything was delicious! The thing that makes this place special is definitely Carlotta, the owner; a magnificent person who made this experience unique! I will definitely return to cook something new!
Something special for both us adults and children. A joyful atmosphere of healthy happiness to meet and feel good together!
Perfect experience! The cooking class at Carlotta was fun and engaging. Carla is a fantastic hostess: kind, sunny and super professional. Beautiful also the attention dedicated to children and the place is really cozy and nice. Absolutely recommended!
Wonderful morning. Carla is an excellent teacher and hostess. In addition to teaching still offers drinks and delicious breads. Cozy and beautiful place. You will learn with ease and discover the wonder that is making your own pasta with sauce, ice cream and Tiramisu. Super recommend, loved, I will come back whenever I go to Rome.
The experience was completely perfect ♫ Carla was amazing and has a wonderful energy ♫️😍 The food was perfect and I enjoy every second we were together!!
The whole family had a great time, we learned a lot and the whole experience was super fun. We ate until we burst but the good thing was that we were able to get everything down with a walk back. Carla super professional and enjoyable. If we recommend the experience.
Carlotta is a very friendly, cheerful and caring host. We had a great time sharing. His kitchen workshop is bright, very well equipped and decorated. In short, an address to recommend.
Really pleasant and different experience from usual! We stayed at Carlotta Cooking School for a cooking class for kids and it was a great day. My son had a great time, met other children and cooked with them in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. We parents also spent a nice afternoon, meeting nice and sunny people. The place is very nice and welcoming, attention to detail, and the staff is just exceptional. The two girls who run the school are really competent, kind and transmit all their passion for cooking. An experience that I recommend to everyone, both families and groups of friends!
Experience to repeat!! For a dinner with friends or even an event with colleagues, Carlotta makes you have a great time. All thanks to Denisa and Carla who in addition to being very kind are very nice. Making pasta together was great fun! But then how good!! Brave.
I loved Carlotta’s Garbatella cooking class! The experience was friendly, authentic and full of flavours. Carlotta shares her passion for Italian cuisine with great generosity and enthusiasm. We learned how to prepare typical Italian dishes, while discovering anecdotes about the neighborhood and local culture. Mood was relaxed, like at home, and the prepared food was absolutely delicious. A perfect experience to discover true Italian cuisine and the warm spirit of the Garbatella. I recommend 100%!
I chose Carlotta to be with my team in an alternative sharing moment. Carla is special and knows how to teach very clearly the best recipes of the Italian tradition! Noodles, ice cream and tiramisu with the ladyfingers made by us! Beautiful and super fun!
I was with friends on this tour and we had a great time. Delisa is very welcoming and the place very cute! I recommend it
Me and 15 other friends spent a beautiful morning at Carlotta's. It was like being at home: we prepared the fettuccine with sauce (now that I learned how to make them I can amaze my guests on Sunday), the Sicilian cannoli (a real treat) and the strawberry sorbet (delicate). All in a cozy atmosphere with lots of good music and great wine. Absolutely to be redone!!!
