Step into the warm, welcoming home of Ilaria, a professional chef nestled in the heart of Trastevere, one of Rome’s most picturesque neighborhoods. Surrounded by the lush green of the Botanical Garden, you’ll be embraced by the aromas, flavors, and traditions of true Italian cooking.
Ilaria’s love for cuisine runs deep—she began working in her family’s restaurant at just 15. “My mother and grandmother were both chefs. They passed on to me not just their recipes, but their passion. Today, I teach their secrets to my children, friends, and guests from around the world.”
This hands-on cooking class is perfect for food lovers of any level—whether you’re an experienced home cook, an enthusiastic beginner, or even a curious child! The small group size (maximum 8 people) ensures an intimate, personalized experience alongside Ilaria’s lively family, including her husband Samuel and their three children.
