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.
