ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

Food is a delicious way to learn about a country’s culture and history, especially Italy’s. Join me in my home for an immersive and engaging cooking lesson where you will learn how to prepare pasta from scratch and a classic Italian dessert, tiramisù. Other dessert options are also available!

You’ll also hear about the origins of each dish and personal tips for cooking authentic Italian cuisine. Your hard work will be rewarded when you sit down to your very own home-cooked meal (appetizer, first course and dessert) with a good bottle of wine. Buon appetito!

The recipes will be sent to you after the class via email, so you can try them on your own back at home.

ABOUT THELOCATION

I live in the San Giovanni / Re di Roma neighbourhood, one of the most historic and oldest in Rome. It’s centrally located and close to some ancient Roman sites that I’d be happy to suggest if you’re keen to explore on another occasion. My location is easily accessible via public transport (Metro A, FL3 train lines etc).

This was a most amazing experience. We came with our 13 year old grandson who was really the reason we chose this option. It was beyond our expectations. Matheo and Nadia were welcoming and fun, and treated us, but in particular our our grandson in a the way that he could understand and follow the various steps in making pasta from and desert from scratch. He was in 7th heaven. Not to mention to the relaxed, friendly, interesting and fun conversation around dinner table, and their warmth. We are unanimous in recommending Nadia and Matheo with enthusiasm.

Our pasta cooking class at the Caretto's home was way beyond our expectations! We loved learning how to make pasta and sauce, and we learned about the ingredients that make Italian food so good. Matteo even taught us his grandma's recipes! We loved all the food served, but mostly enjoyed meeting the Carettos and learning first hand about Italian culture. What a lovely couple and a wonderful experience.

My husband and I had an amazing time! The Carettos were such warm, welcoming and lovely people! We had a blast learning to make authentic Italian pasta, sauce and desserts which we were able enjoy eating together afterwards. Having the class in their home made it more personalised and felt like we were catching up with old friends. It was the perfect experience to top off our last few days in Italy. We highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Not only is the cooking experience wonderful but they have such a depth of knowledge on a wide array of topics from foid to wine to music to travel to many more. 100 percent recommend.
