You’ll step into a Roman kitchen and actively prepare traditional dishes with your own hands, guided naturally by Ilaria. Along the way, you’ll learn family tricks behind each recipe — gestures and timing that never make it into cookbooks — and then enjoy everything you’ve cooked together in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
This is not a cooking class in the traditional sense. It’s a dining experience in a real Roman home in Trastevere, where you cook together, talk, drink wine, and sit at the table like locals do. No uniforms or professional kitchens — just a family home, real food, and genuine connection.
If you truly want to understand what Italian cooking feels like, there’s no better place than a family kitchen. Born and raised in Rome, Ilaria comes from three generations of chefs and loves sharing not only recipes, but also the memories and traditions behind them.

What to expect
Together, you’ll make fresh pasta completely from scratch, shaping 3 classic types : fettuccine, ravioli, and orecchiette. You’ll then prepare 3 traditional Roman sauces — cacio e pepe, fresh tomato sauce with basil, and Norma sauce — using seasonal ingredients and time-tested techniques. Along the way, you’ll enjoy small appetizers, wine, and plenty of conversation.
Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down together to share the meal — often the most memorable part of the experience, when cooking naturally turns into connection.
To finish, you’ll prepare Tiramisu following Ilaria’s family recipe : simple, honest, and deeply satisfying.
You’ll leave with practical skills, recipes that truly work at home, and above all, the memory of time spent in a Roman kitchen where strangers become guests, and guests leave feeling like friends.
