Top 10 Dining Experiences in Rome

Destination: Rome.
Although I did not know English well (like most Italians), I made myself understood and appreciated, as you can see from the reviews and I will tell you more I was also included on Tripadvisor among the Best "World" Gastronomic Experiences and I am the fourth in the world. During my experiences, I was often asked to share the recipes of the dishes I prepared. That’s how the idea was born to include them in my first novel, where family stories, historical anecdotes, and flavors come together in a series of narratives. If you like, you can simply ask me for the link to purchase it and I’ll send it to you. When we meet, I’ll be happy to write a personal dedication, or, if you prefer, I can bring a copy myself, just like I can bring, upon request, a bottle of wine paired with your menu. A souvenir that I hope will stay in your heart, just like the experience we’ll share.

In 4 years of activity in our pasta shop, me and Angelo, we have received many nominations: in the prestigious "Gambero Rosso" guide since 2017 and among the beest 10 pasta factories in Rome. In Italy, the "pastificio" is a place where fresh pasta is made and sold to those who want to cook it at home. We have been inspired by the pasta that our grandmother made in the kitchen when we were child. It was a very special pasta and today we made our dream come true because we re proud to teach, right inside our "EX pastificio", the old Italian method for making pasta to hundreds of people who want to learn how to eat healthy pasta according to the true Italian tradition thus transmitting all the love and passion of our families. Today we dedicate all ourselves to organizing cooking classes of great value to teach how to make fresh artisan pasta in a simple and effective way, thus managing to make all the recipes of the lesson at home.

You’ll step into a Roman kitchen and actively prepare traditional dishes with your own hands, guided naturally by Ilaria. Along the way, you’ll learn family tricks behind each recipe — gestures and timing that never make it into cookbooks — and then enjoy everything you’ve cooked together in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. This is not a cooking class in the traditional sense. It’s a dining experience in a real Roman home in Trastevere, where you cook together, talk, drink wine, and sit at the table like locals do. No uniforms or professional kitchens — just a family home, real food, and genuine connection. If you truly want to understand what Italian cooking feels like, there’s no better place than a family kitchen. Born and raised in Rome, Ilaria comes from three generations of chefs and loves sharing not only recipes, but also the memories and traditions behind them.

We offer Rome's first and longest-running Italian wine tastings in English (since 2008) and are the only provider with a dedicated tasting space, designed solely for this purpose, with no interruptions nor outsiders on the premises. Our experience and long-standing contacts with winemakers all over Italy allow us to select the best wines for curious wine drinkers and teaching them with best didactic practices, while keeping the experience light and fresh. All of the wines we pour at VinoRoma are from small independent producers that use a low-intervention, hands-off approach to winemaking. Some use the term "natural wine" but, really, this is the way wine has always been made since the beginning. For us, the chemicals and additives that have made their way into wineries in recent decades in the pursuit of convenience and profit are the real outliers, the "artificial wines", to coin a term. We wouldn't do that to you ;)
