Great experience all the way around. From communication through WhatsApp to the instructions and explanations during the class, I was throoughly impressed with Francesco and his guidance. The pasta was easy to make, and the sauces were simple but elegant and so tasty! We made fettuccine and spaghetti alla chitarra, and ravioli (hand-shaped and cut) from the same dough. And then, hand-made gelatto--so rich and creamy! Prosecco while we cooked, and wine while we ate, this was a real highlight of my one day in Rome!

Wonderful experience. Excellent cooking tips. Delicious food!!!
A super fun class and knowledgeable and kind host, don’t miss this experience!
The meal we made was easy and very repeatable at home. Absolutely delicious. The chef was great about explaining why you do certain things. It was my daughter’s birthday and a great way to celebrate
Fantastic class of making and cooking pasta dishes. Chef made our visit very special.
Very informative and hands on for learning to make pasta. It was a quick 2 hour class where you get to eat what you make. Fun space to learn and an easy size class, I had three total in our session. Francesco was fun to learn from and teach us how to be successful at home.
What a delightful and informative class! Chef Francesco guided us step by step through the processes and if a problem arose he showed us how to fix it and make it work. We were in the class with one other couple and it was such fun. When I get back home I will definitely give my newfound knowledge a try.
Amazing experience. Very fun. Delicious food. Excited to get the recipes and recreate. Highly recommend.
We loved it! We had a lot of fun and the pasta was amazing! Francesco was very patient with us.
My friend and I decided to take a pasta making class, and it was an amazing experience. Francesco is very patient and kind. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.
It was a fun and informative way to make your own amazing pasta meal. Thank you
I can’t say in words how amazing this experience was. The food was amazing and I made it myself. The techniques we’re taught gently and with patience and expertise. I can’t wait to cook these dishes again for my family. Thank you!!
Excellent food and cook! Overall experience was great, did the cooking with my 11 year old daughter and he really helped her get a feel for the entire process. Highly recommend

Amazing workshop with an amazing chef named Francesco!
A really good fun pasta & tiramisu making class by Francesco, great food knowledge and tips and so fun to try it all and then taste everything afterwards!
This was easily one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! The class was amazing, especially for the price. Two pastas that were delicious and the best tiramisu I’ve had in Rome. I went with my husband and it was the perfect date idea! It was just us and another couple so it was super intimate and fun every step of the way. If you’re looking for a cooking class in Rome, this is the one!
I had a great time learning to make fettuccine, ravioli, and tiramisu all from scratch. Seriously if you’re looking for a cooking class you can’t go wrong with this. In depth, quicker than most, and the most delicious food. Host is skilled and amazing to guide you!
Our family (niece 23 and son 5 years old) took this cooking class in Rome and we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend - our 5 year old stayed interested and engaged for the entire time! Also the food was excellent.
Fantastic and DELICIOUS! Our family had the most amazing time cooking and preparing our pasta and Tieramesu! The instructors were excellent and so patient with our granddaughter who is four. I would highly recommend and also the food prepared was superb and authentic!
This was one our favorite experiences we had in Rome. The chef Francesco is very patient and thorough. His new location is very clean and modern. He was very friendly through the whole cooking class. We really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend.
This was a highlight of our week in Rome. Francesco was an excellent teacher and made the experience outstanding. The end products were delicious and also ranked as one of our most memorable meals of the trip. I highly recommend this experience.
Fun experience! Be sure to come hungry as portion sizes were large! One of the favourite things we did while in Italy :)

Francesco made this cooking class unforgettable. His explanations were clear, his energy was fantastic, and he made everyone feel comfortable in the kitchen. It was the perfect combination of learning, fun, and great food.
An unforgettable experience in Rome! Our cooking class at Cantiere Gastronomico was truly one of the highlights of our family trip. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of authentic Italian charm. We made fresh fettuccine, ravioli, and tiramisu, and everything was absolutely outstanding. The pasta was incredible, the tiramisu was next level, and the entire experience felt personal, fun, and memorable. What made it even more special was that our young son, was able to participate and had an amazing time. Francesco made him feel included, engaged, and excited throughout the class. This is more than just a cooking class, it is a beautiful Roman experience that brings family, food, culture, and joy together. Whether you are visiting Rome as a couple, with friends, or with kids, Cantiere Gastronomico is a must do. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories we will never forget. Highly, highly recommended!
Amazing cooking experience in Rome, the pasta and tiramisu was simple to make and delicious. The location was also spacious and clean. Thank you Francesco for the wonderful experience.
my husband and I absolutely loved our cooking experience - staple recipes and methods that we will absolutely be taking into our kitchen back in Australia. Delicious food, Francesco was so informative and friendly. My favourite was learning to make a traditional tiramisu. I highly reccomend if you are in Rome!!
What a great experience to be cooking pasta in the center of Rome! The chefs were not only great cooks and knowledgeable about food, but also fun! I recommend this course to heighten your stay in Rome!
My family booked the Pasta & Tiramisu cooking class at Cantiere Gastronomico and it was an absolute highlight of our trip to Rome! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a delicious, homemade dinner and tiramisu! It was a very pleasant group, and the two hosts prepared the pasta and tiramisu with us with great passion and patience. We would come back anytime and can definitely recommend the cooking class to everyone! Was a lot of fun 🤩
It was truly a great experience. We would definitely recommend it to everyone travelling to Rome We rate it a ten
It was a great experience, we learned a lot while having so much fun! The team was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the class. It was also an international group, so we all spoke English and had great conversations together. Thank you for this wonderful experience! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make their Rome memories unforgettable!
really nice experience overall. the location was very unique (inside an ancient roman grotto) and the atmosphere felt warm and relaxed. the place itself is super special (inside an ancient roman grotto !!!), and the whole vibe felt really warm and welcoming, the cheese tasting was amazing, we tried so different types and actually learned a lot without it feeling like a lecture and then the pasta making part was sooo fun ⭐️ it was very hands-on, easy to follow, and the team made everyone feel comfortable, also the final result was insanely good!!!!! honestly one of the best experiences i’ve had so far. would 100% recommend if you’re looking for something fun, social, and a bit different 🫶
Next time you're in Rome definitely book a cooking class with Cantiere Gastronomico. I took the class with a friend and we had such a great time. The chef loves to cook and you could totally tell. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure we were doing every step correctly. We made pasta from scratch, drank proseco and ended the evening making a tiramisu. Everything tasted so fresh! More importantly, we laughed the whole time. It was such a beautiful and authentic experience in the eternal city. Grazie mille!
If you're coming to Rome, do not miss out on this experience. I rate this experience a 10/10, the chef was so beyond friendly and made the cooking process so fun and educational. I felt that I learned so much about pasta in general and I feel confident to make homemade pasta and tiramisu. I loved the everything about this experience from the history behind the restaurant to the healthy ingredients, and the friendliness of the staff and chef. I highly recommend you booking this class. It was also super cute to see how they keep a book of everyone who has ever booked their cooking class and they take a polaroid of you and put it in there to log your experience. :)
I had an amazing experience at Cantiere Gastronomico! ✨ The class was so fun, well-organized, and truly engaging from start to finish. Chef Alessandro made the pasta masterclass incredibly enjoyable - he explained everything clearly, and rolling the dough was definitely my favorite part! 🍝 Chef Francesco made the tiramisu session just as special - it was delicious and surprisingly easy thanks to his guidance. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and full of positive energy. It felt like more than just a cooking class - it was a beautiful experience in Rome. Highly recommend to anyone visiting! 🇮🇹✨
Great class, the chefs were wonderful to work with. We booked last minute and we absolutely loved it. Great meal too! A real bargain!
Very welcoming and fun atmosphere!! The cooks were very helpful and clear with their instructions, and the pasta and tiramisu turned out really well! I enjoyed every bit of the evening!! We even got a glass of Prosecco and a bruschetta as a snack while preparing out pasta! Thank you guys!! Keep going! ❤️
This 2 hour cooking class was the best activity I did on my trip to Rome! The chefs are so friendly and helpful and they speak multiple languages so it is pretty inclusive. They provided some information about the history of the dishes we made and also gave us tips on how to get the best out of our ingredients. The class includes learning to make a pasta dish and a tiramisu as well as a glass of prosecco and a polaroid picture if you wish. I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Rome!
Great moment with 2 friends- the course was exactly what we expected it to be: professionnal, friendly, well located ( close to Villa Borghese)
We went as a group of four and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly, taking the time to explain everything in detail while still keeping the class light-hearted and fun. The pasta and tiramisu we made were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Rome. Thank you so much to the whole team!
