Private Traditional Cooking Demo with Massimo in Rome

Location Rome, Italy
$190.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Join your host Massimo in his kitchen in Rome and watch him prepare a delicious, fresh pasta dish for you. As most dishes take a long time to prepare, you will only learn to make a traditional pasta dish. A possible dish could be cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper), carbonara (egg, cheese, Italian bacon, and pepper) or amatriciana (guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino cheese, tomato).

This is a cooking demonstration, not a hands-on cooking class - you will watch as Massimo cooks the pasta.

Step into a cozy Roman home and experience a traditional cooking demonstration with Massimo, who prepares beloved family recipes you won’t often find in restaurants. Massimo and his partner Federica are passionate about sharing their food and culture with guests. Drawing from both Roman culinary traditions and dishes from Viterbo, his mother’s hometown in northern Lazio, Massimo creates an unforgettable dining experience that blends storytelling, history, and homemade food. This is not a hands-on cooking class, but rather a chance to relax and observe as Massimo prepares a classic Roman pasta dish, perhaps cacio e pepe, carbonara, or amatriciana - explaining each step as he cooks. You'll learn the secrets behind these timeless recipes, from the perfect cheese and pepper balance to selecting quality guanciale and pecorino.

After the demonstration, sit down to enjoy a full traditional Roman meal. Your experience might begin with fresh Italian antipasti, followed by the handmade pasta you just saw prepared.
