A wonderful experience!!

What a great day! We shopped at local markets to get food, the chef integrated our interests into the menu and we arrived at his weekend house about an hour after leaving Rome. So far from the hustle of the city. We made sauces, pasta using different proteins. He created a side dish from the potatoes I sliced too thickly! It was a wonderful day, full of learning and laughter and lots to eat! Would highly recommend this activity!!

My wife wanted to take a italian cooking class while traveling in itLy on our 31 anniversary. We lucked out with fabio.were only couple scheduled in class. Fabio took us to his weekend apt in a 2000 year old village north of rome. We made numerous pastas and sauses from scratch. Fabio says these classes are not work but pure enjoyment for him. It shows. He's taught dr. Oz and jeff bezos, but he treated us as a special as the celebrities. This class is a must.

Fabio was charming, incredibly knowledgeable, and very patient. He guided us through the making of multiple dishes (5, I think), learning hands-on as we made pasta from scratch and gnocchi from a single potato that he bought at the local market. Mazzano Romano is a picturesque medieval village about 40 minutes outside the heart of Rome. Fabio is a great host, a terrific teacher, and now a friend.

This was such a lovely experience! My daughter and I went together and made three different pastas, a main dish, a side, and dessert. Our chef Monica was amazing and such a good teacher. We learned several new tricks to bring back home with us!

Delicious and fun excursion!

What an incredible day. We had the most delicious, and memorable time with Chef Elisa and Roy. We started off in the Roman countryside in a beautiful, small town called Mazzano Romano where we went to 3 markets; the first was to purchase our vegetables (artichokes, tomatoes, garlic, broccoliromano), the second to purchase our meats (free range chicken, beef, and sausages), and the third market was where we bought our ricotta, eggs, and bread. Then we headed to a castle built in the 1500s and made magic! We learned how to make Nonna’s Pizza, bruschetta with sausage, 4 kinds of pasta, chicken cacciatore, and chocolate lava cake. Elisa and Roy were terrific — so patient, friendly, and funny! The day was filled with learning and laughs. Definitely recommend!!!

Wonderful way to learn Italian cooking

We had a great day with Marco and Roy in Mazzana Romana. Although the same or similar classes are offered in Rome, we very much enjoyed the trip to the town of Mazzana Romana and the change from the City. All of the logistics went smoothly and on time. The shopping in Mazzana was fun and location for the lesson was charming. The food turned out to be delicious. But Marco and Roy were the best part of the trip. They were easy to be with and yet very professional. We truly did learn about Italian cooking and had a wonderful day doing it.

Dear Linda, we want to bring Italy's culinary traditions to life by our guests with these food activities we operate all year long. In fact, we increase the number of tours involving food and Italian recipes in the spring and summer period, so please don't hesitate to look at our website next time you're in our country. We're glad you spent quality time with Marco and Roy as you shopped for food and learned some cooking technics based on Italian centuries-long relation with food, with roots stretching to antiquity. Best regards, the Gray Line I Love Rome Team

Amazing experience!

I had so much fun in this class! Elisa and Cornelia were both phenomenal. It's quite a drive to Mazzano Romano but the town itself is very nice and gives you a good small town feel. I enjoyed the market aspect of the tour where they will take you to a local butcher and other stores. We helped in cooking a lot of things - 6 to be exact. And since we did this on my birthday, they even baked a chocolate cake for me! I highly recommend this tour. Pro tip: try to skip breakfast if you can, you're definitely going to need the extra space!

Fabiolous Cooking Day

It was fabulous! Loved the drive into the countryside, the local shopping for our meal was delightful at 3 stops. Once secured, we walked to the home of a chef and were taught as we gathered around the kitchens island. This was hands on and so delightful as we got to know each other and learn from our female chef and her 2 assistants. They were so professional, courteous and delightful! Our meal was delicious! And served In The dining room of his home—-magnificent! GRAZIE, chef Eliy!

Amazing and lots of fun - Way ahead of any of our expectations

Likely one of the tours or events we most enjoyed on our 10 day cruise and Rome holiday - Elisa and her staff made us feel extremely comfortable - The group included just myself, my wife, and my son. We were driven to a countryside town, small town of 1600 people, went along with Elisa to buy the fresh food in small shops and then made our way to the unit where we cooked - it was very comfortable and spacious enough for us to relax, drink, cook and eat the food. And the foo was some of the best I have ever had - the taste was amazing - from a real chef who knows what she is doing. Highly recommend this as an adventure you would not normally do.
