Guided by Ilaria in her warm and welcoming kitchen, you’ll prepare traditional Italian dishes with your own hands. Along the way, you’ll discover the little family secrets behind each recipe—the gestures, timings, and instincts that rarely make it into cookbooks—before sitting down to enjoy everything you’ve created.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
After preparing the fresh pasta dough and Tiramisù following Ilaria’s family recipe, we’ll take a short break to enjoy a traditional Italian aperitivo with Italian wine and seasonal bites. Then we’ll return to the kitchen, where Ilaria will guide you step by step as you transform the dough into Fettuccine, Ravioli and Orecchiette, pairing each pasta with its traditional sauce: Cacio e Pepe Sauce, Fresh Tomato and Basil Sauce, and Norma Sauce.
Once everything is ready, you’ll gather around the table to enjoy the homemade meal you’ve prepared—often the highlight of the experience, where cooking naturally turns into conversation, laughter, and new friendships.
More than a cooking class, this is an invitation to experience authentic Italian hospitality.
Come hungry, curious, and ready to feel at home.
Born in 1986 and raised in Rome, Ilaria comes from three generations of chefs. She began cooking in her family’s restaurant at a very young age and later refined her skills at the Italian Chef Academy, one of Italy’s most respected culinary schools. She loves sharing not only recipes but also the traditions, memories, and everyday rituals that have shaped her way of cooking.
This experience is perfect for beginners, passionate home cooks, couples, solo travelers, and families with children. With no more than 8 guests, there’s plenty of time to cook, ask questions, and enjoy a relaxed and personal atmosphere.
