Enjoy a simple cooking class to learn a classic recipe of Italian cuisine. A lovely way to savor the best homemade risotto in Rome is with a local foodie.
During our recent visit to Rome, we participated in a risotto cooking workshop led by Massimo, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip! Massimo welcomed us into his beautiful classic apartment, located just a stone's throw from the Colosseum. Although the apartment is considered 'new' by Roman standards at 150 years old, it exudes the charm and history of the city.
Massimo is not only a master in the kitchen but also an exceptionally friendly and engaging storyteller. As he taught us the art of making risotto, he shared fascinating stories about daily life in Rome and the cultural differences between northern and southern Italy. His stories were so captivating that, inspired by his anecdotes, we decided never to buy Barilla pasta again, just like him! ;-)
His perfect command of the English language allowed us to have truly enjoyable and in-depth conversations. The cozy atmosphere was completed with a delightful glass of wine with the meal.
And now the most important part: did we learn anything from the workshop? Absolutely! Massimo provided us with countless tips and tricks. Making risotto may not be complicated, but it does require constant attention and care. Thanks to Massimo, we now feel confident in making the perfect risotto at home.
We highly recommend Massimo to anyone looking for a unique and educational culinary experience in Rome. Grazie mille, Massimo!

The highlight of my vacation
I can not recommend Sal enough!! He was the highlight of my Rome experience. He suggested a hike on the Appian way and it was epic. He met me at the train station at 6 am and he already had my ticket for me and we took the train out of Rome. It was perfect i cant recommend this enough even if you need to do a shorter hike than I did. He completely got that I wanted to keep it moving so we walked 10 miles while he gave me the history of what we were seeing. In between we had fabulous conversation. I will be back!!!
An epic hike along the Appian Way

Amazing tour with Thomas
Highly recommend. Thomas showed us areas of Rome we didn't know existed even after visiting 6 times. He is engaging and thoroughly enjoyable to talk too. Don't hesitate to book a tour with him.

Fantastico
My husband and I had a fabulous time with Roberta, she was very fun, passionate and knowledgeable. We loved the small plant based eateries or bistros she showed us, from the yummy pomegranate juice at the market to the chocolate gelato with whipped dream. OMG so good! Thank you Roberta for a fun tour!! 😊
