About this experience
Looking for a family-friendly experience in Rome that’s as delicious as it is fun? Step into our cosy kitchen near the Colosseum for a hands-on cooking class where you’ll learn to craft two Italian icons: homemade pizza and tiramisu.
Perfect for kids and adults, this midday experience is part culinary lesson, part Roman adventure.
Knead, stretch, and top your pizza dough just the way you like it, then slide it into the oven for that irresistible, melty finish. While it bakes, dive into the sweet side of Italy by layering espresso-soaked cookies, silky mascarpone, and a sprinkle of cocoa to create your very own tiramisu masterpiece.
When the cooking’s done, gather around the table with your fellow chefs to enjoy the fruits (and sweets) of your labour. We’ve even got wine and prosecco for parents! It’s not just a meal, it’s a memory made from scratch.
Come hungry, bring the family, and leave with a full belly and a slice of Roman joy you’ll never forget.
