Try Rome's Best Cooking Schools

There is one activity every trip to Italy should include – a cooking class. Italian cuisine may be tricky and often, a face-to-face approach is the only way to fully understand procedures and ingredients. An amateur cooking lesson can give you some knowledge, at least enough to go back home, stock up the kitchen with tools and ingredients and implement Italian Cooking Nights on your weekly schedule. Here are the best options in Rome for booking a cooking class.

Les Chefs Blancs

Les Chefs Blancs is located in the industrial-glam Officine Farneto, one of the headquarters of the new Roman cuisine scenario. Evening timetables are perfect if you want to sight-see in the city by day. Classes have a maximum number of ten participants, to ensure quality learning. Working stations are individual and you can choose between traditional and handmade pasta recipes, truffle delights, desserts, meat stews, and many more.

Gambero Rosso

Cordon Bleu

Cordon Bleu is another famous institution in Rome’s cuisine panorama. Qualified chefs will not only teach you, but also involve you in a cooking club atmosphere. Each course has a maximum of six participants, and they also offer tailor made, private courses for visitors. Of course, there is food tasting at the end of each lesson.

Eataly

Even if Eataly is quite crowdy and noisy, its cooking school has a plentiful selection of classes including Kamut Pizza, Healthy Cooking with Spices and The Italian Brunch. Work stations are shared with another person and there are three classrooms, each one appropriate for a different kind of culinary art; cooking, bakery or tasting.
