Rome: the very best on the table “when in Rome cook as the Romans do”
Simply the best, no compromises.

A celebration of Roman cuisine paired with an exciting mix of classic and modern local wines.

This is a polysensorial experience you can live in thematic variation: Roman Empire, Renaissance Popes or Last century popular home cooking.

Each “style” is paired with the right wines from the most prestigious wineries in Lazio and are held by long experienced chefs.

This flagship school is situated in a stunning 17th-century palazzo opposite the Italian parliament and just around the corner from Piazza Navona.

Our English-speaking chef will cook with you some classic Italian dishes.

If you would like, the class can start in the style of any true Roman’s day, with a trip to the market to select fresh ingredients.

The seasonal produce will help determine your menu: think an auburn squash Risotto in the autumn or generously stuffed tomatoes in the summer.

Back at InRome Cooking school, the chef will accompany you to make a classic Italian dinner with a primo (pasta dish), a secondo (main course), a contorno (side dish) and a delectable dolce, (sweet course).

If there is something in particular you would like to cook, you are welcome to specify with the chef beforehand.

With a glass of local wine, after an active morning or afternoon cooking, the class comes together to enjoy the feast you have prepared.

The seasonal produce will help determine your menu: think an auburn squash Risotto in the autumn or generously stuffed tomatoes in the summer.

Then the chef will accompany you to make a classic Italian dinner with a primo (pasta dish), a secondo (main course), a contorno (side dish) and a delectable dolce, (sweet course).

If there is something in particular you would like to cook, you are welcome to specify with the chef beforehand.

Become the champion of dinner parties through learning the real classic or trendy Roman cuisine.

Whatever you want to master (hand-made Roman-style pasta or a full five-course meal) this is your chance to perfect your recipes, with an historical flavor.

Over the course of the class your chef will teach you a whole host of techniques the Italians use to infuse their food.

At the end of this fully private experience, you’ll have a lunch of the food you’ve made in class.

In perfect pairing, naturally, with a selection of fine local Top wines.

We can meet at Campo de’ Fiori, just a few minutes from the school, to select your seasonal produce.

What we find can determine your menu: think an auburn squash Risotto in the autumn or stuffed tomatoes in the summer.

Or we can start directly at the school, a resplendent 17th-century palazzo, where you’ll be warmly welcomed with a local sparkling wine and antipasti reception.

Then the chef will walk you through making a classic Italian dinner with a primo (pasta dish), a secondo (main course), a contorno (side dish) and a delectable dolce, (sweet course).

If there is something in particular you would like to cook, you are welcome to specify with the chef beforehand.
