What to do and see in Rome, Lazio: The Best Classes & Workshops
Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

I have to admit, I feel like I am reviewing a close friend of our family. In October 2015 we were lucky enough to happen upon "Cooking Classes in Rome" and purchase the experience during our trip to Rome to celebrate my husband's grandmother's 80th birthday. We feel in love with the set up of the class, the history of Rome through its food that Chef Andrea explains to class participants, and especially, we fell in love with Chef Andrea and his passion for cooking and for traditional Roman culture. We spent the last four years, not only recommending the class to other friends and family members visiting Rome, but actually gifted this class to any one we knew traveling to Rome to celebrate a milestone event. Four years later we returned to Rome for a last minute trip before I was about to give birth to our first son. At 32 weeks pregnant, we couldn’t imagine a better way to experience Rome again but by experiencing another Chef Andrea class and enjoying all the food and Roman history his class has to offer. Once again he did not hesitate to impress. He contacted us ahead of time to ensure we knew that he was creating a special menu to ensure that I could eat everything he was serving. When we got to the cooking school, it was like being greeted by a dear old friend who we had known for years. Chef Andrea proceeded to ensure that we were spoiled throughout the cooking classes, making much of the class focused on the anticipation of our new family member. It was the sweetest gesture. I can confidently say that Chef Andrea feels like an extension of our family. We will continue to gift his cooking class to friends and family visiting Rome, and we are already planning to take our newest family member back to experience one of his classes as soon as he is old enough. In the meantime, we will continue to cook Chef Andrea’s recipes at home and keep growing this baby on the best Roman food. We are so thankful to have such great memories.
