Rome 2026 Vacation
Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with InRome Cooking during our vacation in Rome! The class began with a visit to a local farmers market, where our sweet, funny, and exceptionally talented chef, Michaela, introduced us to fresh, seasonal ingredients and shared her passion for authentic Italian cooking. Back in the kitchen, she taught us how to make a delicious pomodoro sauce with fresh handmade pasta, as well as homemade gelato and a refreshing homemade sorbet. Every step was hands-on, easy to follow, and filled with helpful tips that we’ll definitely use back home. What made the experience truly special was Michaela herself. She has an amazing sense of humor, is an incredibly gifted chef, and made us feel like we were guests in her own home rather than students in a cooking class. She created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the entire experience unforgettable. We learned so much in just a few hours and can’t wait to bring a little taste of Rome back to the U.S. by making our own authentic Italian Sunday dinners. If you’re visiting Rome and looking for a memorable, fun, and delicious experience, we can’t recommend InRome Cooking highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
Response from the operator: Wow, It's great to hear that you and your family had such a fun and memorable experience with our class and connected with Michaela as your instructor. We'll make sure to pass along all of the positive feedback to her. Glad to hear that you were fully able to connect with the environment and atmosphere of kitchen. Hopefully you were able to aquire some newfound skills that you can use for the rest of your life when preparing any of the given dishes! You are of course always welcome to come on the journey with us again or even invite more friends and family to come on the journey with you. Thank you so much for the kind review and we hope to have made a lasting impact on your travels!

Ask for Giulio!
Significant other and I went shopping and did a cooking class with Giulio. We made pasta from scratch, Saltimbocca, tiramisu and carbonara. We had an absolute blast. Giulio was a fabulous teacher and very detailed and patient with us. I'd highly recommend this class. Ask for Giulio! BTW, everything we made was SOOOO good!
Response from the operator: Thank you for leaving this lovely review! We are so glad you had a great time making your own pasta from ingredients chosen by you! Thank you againfor sharing your experience! it means the world to us!

One of the most fun travel days we’ve ever had!
If you are considering this tour—especially if you have kids who are cooking curious just do it. It’s worth every penny! We had a farmer’s market cooking class with Chef Max who was exceptional. Chef Max was engaging with our whole family and literally planned a menu for us, on the spot, to match our dietary restrictions, our kids likes and dislikes and what was in season and available at the market. It was masterful and so much fun. Once we got to the kitchen, Chef Max helped us prepare a four course meal that was easily one of the best we’ve had—but all simple and homey enough that we can recreate it at home. The time flew by with lots of laughs and Max and the other staff member taught us to do everything but also kept the cooking moving. And then we ate and drank and it was glorious. My kids said it was the best food of their life. Strongly recommend this class and Chef Max who is a star!

Great class!
The market tour and tastings included outstanding local produce, cheeses, and meats. Max was flexible about adding in Agretti or Monk's Beard to our menu. It is a wildly delicious and nutritious veggie that was new to us for a side dish. When we took the ingredients to his cooking school, it was also helpful to have him demonstrate how to prepare freshly harvested spring artichokes to add to our homemade ricotta ravioli. Max’s pasta making tips were excellent and our pasta was tender but held its structure. Tiramisu is a staple dessert in many Italian restaurants but I believe Max’s version is far superior. Every dish was very delicious! All in all, Max was a fun, knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic instructor. I know I’d enjoy taking more classes with him in the future.

Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making cost?
+
Prices start at €150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 94 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Farmers' Market Shopping with Cooking Class and Pasta Making?
+
Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; Chef; and Food tasting. Not included: Hotel drop-off; Hotel pickup; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
