Step into Fresco Cooking Class, a charming 3 hours cooking workshop in the heart of Trastevere, one of Rome’s most picturesque neighborhoods. Inspired by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of an Italian nonna’s home, this experience invites you to live the joy of Italian cooking from the inside.
As you arrive, you are welcomed with a refreshing spritz and small Italian snacks, the perfect way to begin the experience. After a warm introduction, you’ll receive your apron and your personal workstation along our beautiful vintage marble table, the heart of the kitchen.
But before we start cooking, there is one fun tradition:
each guest receives their own Italian name for the day. With classical Italian music playing in the background, the atmosphere quickly becomes lively and joyful - sometimes we even start with a little dancing, just like in an Italian family kitchen.
Guided by our friendly house host and chef, you will begin preparing a full Italian menu from scratch.
You will learn how to make fresh fettuccine and handmade ravioli, discovering surprising seasonal fillings and traditional sauces. Along the way, you’ll also prepare a market-inspired appetizer, using fresh local ingredients, and finish with the iconic dessert: Nonna’s Tiramisù.
Throughout the class, enjoy spritz, wine, and plenty of laughter, while learning authentic techniques and even a few Italian words.
Once everything is ready, we gather around the table for one of the most beautiful parts of Italian culture: sharing and tasting everything together until we’re happily full, served on authentic Italian ceramic plates inspired by the Amalfi Coast, creating a colorful, warm, and joyful atmosphere.
To close the experience, we step into the garden, where under our lemon tree, we raise a final glass of Limoncello together - celebrating the flavors, the memories, and the new friends made along the way.
Before leaving, you will receive a digital recipe book so you can recreate the dishes at home and relive the experience whenever you wish.
This experience is perfect for curious travelers, couples, families, and small groups who want to discover Rome through its most authentic flavors - with a cultural touch that is warm, lively, and unforgettable.
