Itinerary
Meet your chef in Piazza Navona
Your experience begins in Piazza Navona, where you meet your local chef near the elegant Baroque fountains. As the square buzzes with street artists and café chatter, you’ll get a quick overview of the class and stroll toward the nearby cooking school.
Settle into a 17th-century palace kitchen
Step inside a 17th-century palace near Piazza Navona and enter a bright, professional kitchen set for your group. Your chef walks you through the menu, ingredients, and tools so you feel confident before you start cooking.
Enjoy an Italian aperitivo together
To ease into the class, gather around a shared table for a classic aperitivo with prosecco and local antipasti. As you sip and snack, your chef explains how Italians use this pre-meal ritual to slow down and whet the appetite.
Learn the secrets of artisan gelato
Next, you focus on gelato, starting with a simple base and seasonal flavors. You mix, churn, and taste while learning how temperature, texture, and ingredients create that dense, silky scoop you expect from a true Roman gelateria.
Knead and shape traditional pizza dough
With dessert prepped, you turn to pizza, measuring flour, yeast, and water to build a smooth, elastic dough. Your chef shows you how to knead properly, rest the dough, and stretch it by hand so the base stays light yet sturdy.
