She served us delicious wine to pair with the incredible pasta dishes she taught us to make. To top it off she surprised us with home made gelato and preserved cherries native to Bologna.

He also welcomed us with a small appetizer and a glass of wine, which made the class feel even more special. Christian was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, which made the entire experience both fun and memorable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic and hands-on cooking class in Rome.”
