Description

Step into a real Roman kitchen and prepare traditional Italian dishes with your own hands, guided by Ilaria in a warm and welcoming home. Along the way, you’ll discover the small family tricks behind each recipe — the gestures, timings, and instincts that rarely make it into cookbooks — before enjoying everything you’ve created together in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

This is not a cooking class in the traditional sense.
It’s time in a real Roman home in Trastevere, where you cook together, share stories, drink wine, and sit around the table just like locals do. No professional kitchen — just a family home, real food, and genuine connection.

Come hungry, curious, and ready to feel at home.

Ilaria and her family welcome you as they would welcome a friend: with a smile, a glass of wine, and a table ready for kneading dough and sharing stories.

Born 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. Today, she loves sharing not only recipes, but also the memories, traditions, and everyday rituals that have shaped her way of cooking.

This experience is designed for everyone: complete beginners, confident home cooks, couples, solo travelers, and families with children. With a small group of no more than 6/8 guests, there is plenty of time to cook, chat, ask questions, and enjoy each moment at a relaxed and unhurried pace.

Together, you’ll make fresh pasta from scratch, shaping three classic types: Fettuccine, Ravioli, and Orecchiette. You’ll then prepare three traditional sauces — cacio e pepe, fresh tomato sauce with basil, and Norma sauce — using seasonal ingredients and time-honored techniques. Than you’ll prepare Tiramisu following Ilaria’s family recipe: simple, authentic, and deeply satisfying. Along the way, you’ll enjoy 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.
