Itinerary
START POINT
Central Rome
Set against the backdrop of Rome’s most famous landmarks — from the Colosseum to Campo de’ Fiori — city centre cooking classes put you right in the middle of it all.

Everyone gets their hands messy — kneading, stirring, filling, tasting — and there’s plenty of time to chat with your local chef and fellow foodies.
Note: The cooking studio and how your class unfolds varies slightly based on the starting point you choose in central Rome.

Taking a cooking class near Piazza Navona is more than an activity — you’re creating a memory surrounded by the elegance and energy of one of Rome’s most iconic squares. If your hotel or Airbnb is anywhere near the city center, you're just a short, scenic walk away from your cooking class.
Note: Meet your chef guide at Restaurant Gusto, where your experience begins.
Things to do
1. Tiramisu

Food & Drinks

Note: Your experience begins at La Panetteria Ristorante near Trevi Fountain.
Things to do
1. Tiramisu
Food & Drinks
Included in price
There's not much difference between crafting magic or crafting tiramisu. Coffee-soaked biscuits, creamy clouds of mascarpone, a dusting of bitter cocoa all layered in rustic ceramic bowls and chilled... it's not just dessert — it’s a memory layered with flavor, culture, and joy.
2. Pizza
Food & Drinks
Included in price
Knead soft dough, roll it thin, then spread a swirl of rich tomato sauce. Add creamy mozzarella, earthy mushrooms, olives... and watch the colors pop like an Italian flag. In and out of the wood-fired oven — savor crispy edges and melt-in-your-mouth cheese.

Nestled in the heart of Trastevere, this neighborhood market hums with the local chatter, fresh produce, and the rich aromas of herbs, cheeses, and cured meats. You’ll bite into crispy, gooey supplì, the beloved Roman rice ball, and savor porchetta, seasoned to perfection.

Piazza Navona is one of Rome’s most elegant and lively squares — full of artists, music, and charm. Taking a cooking class nearby means you're surrounded by stunning architecture and a buzz of Roman life.
