Learn how to cook Roman specialties with an Italian grandma in her own kitchen

Take home all the recipes from the day and cook them back home for your friends

Roll up your sleeves and make your very own Italian meal from scratch

Have you always wanted to learn how to cook Italian food? With this exciting experience you and your group will get a full private cooking class in Rome. Learn how to make pasta by hand, prepare a traditional four course meal and, best of all, eat your homemade feast for dinner afterwards!

Italian mothers are, without a doubt, the prized chefs of Italian cuisine. Marilee is no exception. Originally from California, Marilee has been living in Italy for over 35 years accumulating experience and knowledge as the wife of an Italian and mother of two.

She has been cooking authentic Italian food with love and passion her whole life. She is wonderfully charismatic and warm and is always eager to share her profound knowledge of Italian cooking with others. In this private class, Marilee will meet you right in the centre of a beautiful suburban area of Rome.

You will be collected from your local Roman hotel and escorted in a private luxury transfer to Marilees private home. Enjoy a glass of local wine and get ready to roll your sleeves up. For the next few hours, Marilee will guide you through the preparation of her favorite dishes. Learn about the rustic origins of Roman cuisine and prepare your very own feast.

“This was a fantastic, enjoyable and fun experience. My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our cooking class. It is a totally personal cooking class where all the focus is on you and your learning. We were able to ask heaps of questions. Marilee is a fantastic cook and is great to learn from. She also made the class fun and relaxed and we shared laughs throughout.” – Lynda A. Australia

The class will commence with learning how to roll dough. This basic skill will be essential for your meal. We begin with the antipasto which is a typical Neapolitan dish called Pizzelle. With your private cooking class in Rome, it is essential that you have food to nibble on and wine to sip as you continue cooking. Your dough rolling skills will be important as Marilee teaches you the tricks of rolling out and cutting handmade pasta.

Once the pasta is cut and stuffed you will learn an important Italian skill: how to cook al dente! Enjoy a few sips of wine and relax in good company as you prepare to eat the first course you have prepared. Delight in the hospitality of being in a true Italian home and learn the customs and traditions that make Italian meals unique.

After a satisfying plate of pasta your cooking class continues with a typical Roman secondo or meat dish. You will be amazed at how simple the cooking method is and it will be extremely easy for you to recreate this back in your own house. After your main course you will all enjoy Italian biscotti and coffee on the terrace.

Our private cooking class in Rome at Marilee’s is a unique and local experience. Step away from the tourist-filled city center and delight in this authentic and thoughtful meal. Bring home a truly memorable souvenir: a new set of cooking skills and first-hand knowledge of classic Italian dishes you will be able to recreate time and time again.

“Couldn’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon in Rome. Marilee has a gorgeous terrace just outside the center of Rome and it was a very peaceful and relaxing place. In our private cooking class we learned how to make pasta from scratch and the yummiest food ever. Marilee is a very welcoming and charismatic person and the cooking class was the best part of our entire vacation!” – Sandra, Texas
