ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

As you all know, a typical Italian dish you find in a traditional Italian kitchen is pasta.
Above all, home made pasta, in all its various forms - fettuccine, ravioli, gnocchi, lasagna, cannelloni, orecchiette, strozzapreti, fusilli, cavatelli, pici - is true to the authentic Italian cuisine!
This cooking class in Rome will teach you the right cooking techniques to make your own Italian home made pasta. After our pasta making class, you will definitely be able to surprise your friends with new skills and delicious meals!

As a guest, you will prepare your meal guided by my help, after which we will experience our “masterpieces” together during a lovely, friendly dinner. Our pasta making class is all about having a good time, while learning about food and dining in Rome, and relaxing over a friendly meal with good conversation!

*** It is free for children below 5 years old and I offer 10 Euro off for children below 10 years old. Message the concierge (bottom-right chat) to get your promo code! ***

It is possible to customize the lesson asking me some changes.

It is also possible preparing two pastas and a dessert.

When eating in Rome, a dinner is not complete without a bottle of wine! As such, a simple wine will be served during the dinner. For special wines, it is possible to discuss it in advance.

PS: I have cats in the house, in case you are allergic!

*Cooking Class Timing:

Evening session starts at 5 pm to have dinner at 8 pm

ABOUT THELOCATION

My house is very comfortable, modern, and welcoming.
You will enjoy this meal in Rome in a 50 meter square cosy room, which combines the kitchen, the living room and dining room all at once. Shaped as such, the place, allows my guests to interact easily.

My place is very close to Vatican City and Prati quarter (50 meters from metro A, Cornelia stop). So it's also very easy to reach!
The quarter is very commercial and full of life - perfect to go shopping or have a coffee before our event :)

Francesca welcomed us with a genuine smile. We passed an evening of fun, learning and good food. Our teacher was kindly, good humoured and knowledgable and we left better informed and filled with good Italian home cooking. Francesca's style is relaxed and yet organised, I would recommend her to anyone wishing to enjoy learning about good cooking (unless of course they are allergic to cats).

Great experience in an authentic Italian apartment. Host welcomes you into her home and treats you like family. Great to get a bit out of the center of Rome and enjoy this cooking experience that you can bring home with you and share with friends. Easy to get to, 5 min walk from metro stop. The food was delicious!

We had a great food experience with Magic Francesca making different types of pasta, including a ravioli. My husband and teenage son, who do very little cooking, enjoyed the afternoon, and my son said it was the highlight of the trip for him. Francesca made sure everyone was comfortable and participating. She definitely knows her stuff; we tried lemon pasta in two different restaurants in Sorrento, and we all agreed they were not as not as good as the one we made with Francesca! We are looking forward to trying Francesca's recipes when we get home!

Francesca was so welcoming and is a natural teacher. She was able to explain all the steps necessary to prepare an amazing meal and allowed everyone to participate in some way. Francesca's apartment was perfectly set up for our family of four as well as another family of five. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Our cooking session with Francesca was a highlight of our trip to Rome. We not only learned how to make some fantastic recipes but we also had a really fun evening and enjoyed a delicious meal that we cooked. It was an amazing value for a full evening of entertainment and food. She made us feel right at home and was great at giving instructions that were easy to follow. I am very excited to try out my new cooking skills.

We had a great evening over at Francesca's house. She has a lovely home and is clearly experienced for cooking with a group. Everything we made was absolutely delicious and it took less for a week for us to try out some of the things we learned at home. Thank you, Francesca, for a great class!
