Roman cooking class with pizza gelato prosecco and local chef

The Experience

We shuffled through the narrow streets near Piazza Navona, dodging scooters and that sharp smell of espresso drifting from a bar. Inside the cooking school, it felt cooler—tiles underfoot, chatter echoing off high ceilings. Our chef, Marco, handed out flutes of prosecco before I’d even set my bag down. He had this way of waving his hands when he talked about dough—like he was conducting an orchestra made entirely of flour and water. I tried to say “lievito” (yeast) in Italian and got a laugh from him. My accent’s hopeless.

The pizza part was messier than I thought. My hands stuck to the dough at first, but Marco just shrugged and showed me how to dust extra flour without turning everything into a snowstorm. The toppings were all laid out—salami, mushrooms, figs (which I never would’ve put on pizza). The smell of baking bread started sneaking up while we learned about gelato. Vanilla or pistachio? I went for both because why not. There’s something about stirring cold cream on a hot day in Rome that just feels right.

We ate together at this big wooden table in the old dining room—everyone comparing crusts and swapping bites like old friends even though we’d just met. It was loud in the best way: glasses clinking, someone telling a story about their first trip to Italy, Marco teasing us about our “unique” pizza shapes. I still think about that first bite—chewy crust, salty prosciutto, sweet fig—and how simple things taste different when you make them yourself. Walking back out into the Roman evening felt lighter somehow.

What’s included

Your day includes a welcome glass of prosecco with appetizers, all fresh ingredients for both pizza and homemade gelato, guidance from an English-speaking chef throughout the hands-on lesson, soft drinks or local wines during your meal in a converted Roman dining room—and if needed, vegetarian or gluten-free options are available when you book.
