Best thing we have done on our trip to Italy!
This was an extremely memorable experience for my dad's 80th birthday together with his children and grandchildren. As a family, we all love to cook - Riccardo and his colleague Guillermo did not fail to impress us, honoring Roman culinary classics with a passionate commitment to traditional techniques that were fun as well as technical. Both Riccardo and Guillermo were charming in their manner, no question was a bother, and truly light hearted and encouraging with the grandchildren making both young and old feel so welcome. Extra attention was given to my dad for his birthday, prosecco enjoyed before the meal, and after all our hard labor, the most delicious meal to enjoy. I wholeheartedly recommend this opportunity!
My family and friends had a wonderful time with Chef William at Riccardo Cooking Class. He was fantastic. The meals we made were great. He was patient with us and helped us. I really feel confident in being able to cook these meals when we get back home. William even made adjustments for a few of the party that were vegetarians. All in all, we couldn't be happier. This cooking experience made this trip something we will never forget and was totally worth the investment. Anyone traveling to Italy, specifically Rome, this class is a MUST! It really allows you to experience the culture, the food, wine, everything all in ONE!
This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Rome! The class lived up to its reputation, and though we didn’t meet Riccardo, he assured us that his entire team was great. We were not disappointed because we had the delightful William, the Jack Sparrow of pasta! I highly recommend this class, especially in the beautiful new cooking space. You will learn, eat, drink, and meet wonderful people.
We had a great time, prepared fresh pasta and 4 different sauces! wine kept flowing all through the tasting and we wrapped it up with dessert and sweet wine cant recommend this class enough.
We had a family of 5 in our group and everyone had an amazing time with Riccardo! The food was delicious, great atmosphere, and even the moms of the group learned several things. I can’t recommend this enough and hope to be back in the future!
My name is Riccardo, and I was born and raised in Rome. I'm 28 years old, a chef, a sommelier, and I hold a degree in food and wine sciences. These accomplishments reflect my journey and experiences.
Cooking is my passion! As a child, I loved spending time in the kitchen, watching my grandma and mom prepare our traditional Sunday lunch. This early fascination inspired me to pursue a career in the culinary world.
After finishing high school, I attended culinary school and worked as a cook in various restaurants for several years. Later, I earned a degree in Food Sciences from the University of RomaTre. Today, I host masterclasses on Italian cuisine in my own kitchen.
