ローマ郊外でワイルドハーブパスタ教室と自家製ワインの試飲会

It was so fun to have dinner with Claudia. Her husband Bruno and friend Angela picked us up from the train station (25 minute trip) for the short trip to their home. Claudia gave us a tour of her garden while we gathered up some herbs for cooking. We made a few different dishes, including a couple of pasta dishes. While we prepared food Bruno, who is a musician, played music for us. We had a lovely dinner in their garden before heading back to the train station. All of the food was delicious and our hosts were such fun. It was really a blast.

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Just a quick 30-minute train ride from Rome, we were welcomed into the cook’s beautiful family home for an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, it felt less like a class and more like spending the day with old friends. We started by picking fresh herbs straight from her garden, which made the entire cooking experience feel so authentic and personal. Every step was hands-on, and we learned traditional Italian techniques while preparing an incredible meal together. We felt more like family than customers. I’m glad we booked this class.

This was the highlight of our family vacation in Italy. Claudia and Bruno are warm and welcoming. We did the cooking class with our two teenagers, and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was exceptional, Claudia is a knowledgable and skilled chef and instructor. Bruno enhance the whole experience with his humour and music. Would highly recommend.

Because of Claudia’s husband Bruno who is a musician, my husband who also plays keyboards just loved it and enjoyed making his first pasta that much more

I've been to Rome many times, and I've had a plethora of experiences, but the Cooking Class with the fabulous Claudia and the ever-so charming Bruno is at the top of my list! I cannot recommend it enough. Not only did I learn many tips and techniques that I will be taking home with me (and showing off to my family), but I also had a delicious lunch... and the best part was the warmth and authenticity of Claudia and Bruno. They are absolutely lovely people. She is so talented in the kitchen! (and Bruno serenaded us for awhile on his keyboard... so fun!) The location is beautiful. I cannot wait to return!

Claudia and Bruno were a class couple. Claudia is the chef and teacher, and Bruno is the assistant to whatever she says, in addition to being the musician, comic, cultural advisor, and outright 'great guy'. Both have secured their slice of Italian heaven in the medieval historic town of Zaragolo. You need to sign up and taste pieces of Italy you cannot get in Rome; country Italian living, home made olive oil, home made white and red wine, the best ravioli and fettuchini pasta (that you all make, and I also mean the best you will have ever tasted) and gardens full of herbs, fruit, flowers and nuts. You can even pat their dog and cat!!!

The best “class” ive ever done - we felt so welcomed into Claudia and Bruno’s home and made the best homemade pasta we’ve ever made! Cannot recommend it enough; we learned so much and ate / drank so well

Loved every minute! Bruno picked us up, the drive was beautiful. Claudia welcomed us into their home and served coffee and small donuts while we relaxed on the patio. Then the cooking began! We made several dishes, drank wine and Bruno serenaded us. It was like spending the afternoon with my long lost Italian family members! Highly recommend!!

The class was such a good experience. Claudia has adapted the dishes perfectly for us in vegan and conjured up creative recipes

wonderfull class with wonderfull teacher

Our group of 8 had a great time at Claudia and Bruno’s beautiful home. Kids and adults loved it.

Claudia gave us a warm welcome and individual instruction in pasta making. We tried so many different dishes! The fresh herbs from the garden, the olive oil and house wine were so delicious. We learned about regional specialities too. It was a wonderful and delicious experience!

Firstly, thankful to Claudia and Bruno for hosting such an unforgettable experience. We love the tour around the garden when you explain to us the variety of herbs and fruits you have. The cooking was fun! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and definitely need more practice in our pasta making skills. Thank you so much.

Claudia and Bruno were so welcoming and kind and the class was so much fun! Everything we made was delicious and it was wonderful to see their beautiful home and property.

Warm and welcoming partners led us through a fun cooking class and the food was Delicious !

Claudia is a really good and super friendly chef. I had a cooking class with two of my kids and we all loved it very much. Especially the tiramisu was much appreciated, but also the ravioli and their own wine!

The location is not in Roem so I loved it more. Claudia and her friends welcomed us with a warm heart and we had enjoyed a lot. My self and my daughter really enjoyed the class.

We were picked up and dropped off at the train station. The class was personalized as it was just the two of us. Claudia was gracious and even added an extra dish after mentioning my mom made it. The results were delicious and we can easily make the same things at home. Bruno was very friendly and though he needed to rest his voice so didn’t sing, he still played for us.

The class was fun, personal and the results were delicious!

We had an amazing time cooking with Claudia and Guisy - they are both wonderful people and this is an experience that you should not miss! Claudia’s home in the countryside is a lovely escape from the city's crowds, surrounded by herbs, olives, and her own vineyard. Everything we cooked was genuine, heartfelt food with a “no waste” mentality. It was incredible watching and cooking along with every meal. The food was fantastic and we have some amazing recipes to try and recreate at home with the techniques we learned. In our session, we made lasagna (pasta, béchamel, ragu), meatballs, fried zucchini blossoms, and a delicious peaches and cream dessert with bonus vegetable appetizers. Everything was incredible! You won’t regret this phenomenal class.

What an absolutely beautiful experience. I couldn’t speak more highly of Claudia and Bruno who made us feel completely at home in their beautiful house in the Italian country. The cooking class was easy to follow and collaborative, finding herbs in the garden to add to the recipes. Bruno played piano and we spent the whole time laughing. The lunch at the end was perfect and all good was delicious, including the wine from their vineyard. Instructions to get to zagarolo were simple even though the train line was under construction and Bruno picked me up and gave me a tour of the town on the way. Highly highly recommend!

This is the best putting I have done on vacation. Claudia and Bruno are amazing. The class was not rushed, Bruno played the piano, Claudia taught multiple recipes. It takes special people to invite you into their home and Claudia and Bruno are special beyond compare. We were with another family and a couple on their honeymoon and having other there made it that much better. We bonded over the course or many hours together. I wish I lived here so I could take more classes with Claudia. The end result was a day full of learning, laughter, and amazing food and people.

Claudia is amazing! More than a cooking class, our time with Claudia and her husband Bruno was an experience not to be missed. Of course, we loved our hands-on lesson in pasta-making (along with sorbetto, vegetables, sides, a meat dish… ), but even more so we felt like welcomed guests visiting our talented Italian friends. Our morning began with a refreshing cup of mint tea and treats prepared by Claudia with ingredients from her garden. We were then privileged to stroll through the grounds as Claudia shared with us the tastes and fragrances of the many herbs she cultivates. The beautiful property also boasts an impressive vineyard and olive grove, from which Claudia and Bruno create delicious wines and olive oil (which we later enjoyed). As we cooked and learned, Bruno (a talented singer and musician) serenaded us. Our “lesson” was interesting, authentic, and joyous. As a reward for all of our fun, we shared a feast with dish after dish, house wine, and fresh fruit sorbetto until we couldn’t eat another bite. We were so grateful that we lucked into this very special cooking experience. Do not be put off by the relatively few published reviews. Such an authentic and personal experience far exceeds the large commercial enterprises through Viator or Travelocity. Sign up for us class! You’ll be reminiscing about it fondly long after you return home from your Italian holiday!

We had an amazing class with Claudia and Bruno! They have a beautiful and unique house in the countryside. The transportation is very easy with train from Rome. Perfect hospitality, good food, wine, live music and nice location. Highly recommended!

We had the most beautifully wholesome afternoon with Claudia and Bruno. We ate delicious, fresh food that had been so much fun to put together under Claudia's guidance. Have recommended to all of our family and friends who are travelling overseas from Australia. Book yourself in, it might be for you the highlight of your trip like it was for us!

Claudia's cooking class was wonderful and one of the highlights of my trip to Rome with my nieces. Her dishes are delicious and she is engaging with her guests, getting us involved in making everything. She adapted the menu to our needs (vegan and vegetarian) and the meal was fresh and very tasty. While the dishes won't taste as good in the States since we don't have the fresh ingredients that Claudia has available in her garden, we will certainly recreate the recipes once home. Like a lot of Italian cooking, the recipes are simple and easy to make. Claudia and her husband, Bruno, are charming and welcoming hosts. They make you feel at home. Bruno's musical skills were an added delight and he even played some of my favorite Italian songs from the 1990s and some Billly Joel too. Their home in Zagarolo is close to Rome but it is like you are far in the countryside for the peace, quiet and green you are surrounded by. Their home is also full of their personalities and interests and talents, which makes it all more interesting to be there and be part of the wonderful experience that they offer.

This was the best experience in all my travels! I had a great time there.

We had such fun on the cookery class. Claudia’s instructions for the train were clear and the journey through beautiful countryside was the perfect beginning to a wonderful day. The charming Bruno collected us from the station and acted as tour guide as we drove to the house. Their home is delightful with beautiful artwork and an amazing garden. To start our meal we picked herbs and plants that would become the most delicious dishes. Next we prepared pasta, sauces, salad and seasonal vegetables, just incredible. As we cooked, Bruno played songs and we all sang along - such fun. Sitting in the garden with our amazing hosts eating our home cooked Italian food, drinking home produced wine and tasting the olive oil was the most wonderful experience. If we could have gone back the following day and learned some more recipes I am sure we would have. Thank you for our perfect day.

Für mich das Hightlight unserer Rom-Reise. Claudias Haus liegt wunderschön und wir konnten im Februar sogar unsere selbstgemachte Pasta draußen in der Sonne genießen. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich so schöne ind leckere Ravioli selber herstellen kann.

This was a great experience. Claudia’s expertise and demeanor are perfect for this course. The location was lovely as well. The food we prepared was delicious. Highly recommend.

Claudia and Bruno were wonderful hosts. They gave detailed instructions on pick up and drop off location. They offered a welcome refreshment. The cooking instructions were very thorough with individual tips on how to improve. While Claudia taught us cooking, Bruno entertained us with his piano playing from time to time. They also served us wine and olive oil that they made themselves. It was an overall delightful and fulfilling experience. I highly recommend this class! Not only was it fun, delicious and educational it offered a chance to escape the business of Rome.

Lovely couple, lovely home, wonderful food and wine experience, great fun all around.

Claudia and Bruno were so warm and wonderful so patient and kind and the cooking experience with them was amazing. Will surely recommend!!

Claudia and Bruno were such amazing hosts. The vineyard was full of ripe tasty grapes, the olive trees were loaded, the group had a blast rolling out dough. We made several very tasty dishes, learned some great tricks , listened to Bruno playing for us and filling our wine glasses. Such a treat!

Claudia and Bruno were wonderful hosts in their lovely home. We cooked some great food - at least we thought so - and learned some new skills including making fresh pasta, ravioli and aubergine parmigiana. All then eaten overlooking Bruno's vineyard drinking his lovely wine. We were looking for something different from a restaurant or hotel based class and it certainly delivered. A memorable afternoon and highly recommended. Martin and family.

Best part of my trip!!! Claudia and Bruno made me feel like family. Such an incredible, warm and special experience. Wish I could cook here every week!

We loved this whole experience. We are pretty experienced cooks and we were petrified of a vanilla Italian food class. Instead, we learned some dishes and some methods that blew our minds!

Highly recommend! Especially for families with children (all ages) - you’ll not regret it! Pls go for it if you’re looking for an authentic experience with local Italian family not only to learn of their culture, cuisines and tradition. Worth every dime and $ so well spent!

Claudia is a warm and talented cook who made me feel like part of the family. We made two kinds of delicious pasta and fried artichokes and borage leaves. Everything was so good! It was a lot of fun making the food and also sharing it with her family. Her husband Bruno picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, making it super easy. This was a wonderful experience and I hope that you get to enjoy it.

Claudia and Bruno's home is warm and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful and Claudia picked greens and herbs right from her garden for your meal. We thoroughly enjoyed learning to make ravioli and eating tons of delicious food! I would do it again in a heartbeat. We put them in our blog

Only an half hour by train from Rome we were picked up by husband Bruno by the station. After enjoying the beautiful garden with nice herbes, the grape yard, olivetrees and coffee we made the best ravioli, a recipe with eggplant and fryed vegetables. Meanwhile accompanied by the nice music from Bruno. After the cooking we ate a delicious meal and drank the great homemade wine. After all that we were brought back to the station. It was a wonderful experience. A nice break from busy Rome. And now, after we got the recipies from Claudia, we make the different meals at home. I recomment you to go to Claudia and learn how to cook delicious Italian food!

Schon die Fahrt von Rom nach Zagarolo war ein Erlebnis. Aus der Stadt herauszufahren und die umliegende Landschaft zu sehen, war sehr schön. Am Bahnhof angekommen, wurden wir bereits von Bruno erwartet, der uns herzlich begrüßt hat. Die Fahrt zu ihrem Zuhause führte durch Zagarolo, wozu Bruno immer wieder auf einzelne Dinge hinwies. Das Haus von Claudia und Bruno liegt idyllisch im Grünen. Claudia führte uns durch den hauseigenen Weinberg, die Olivenbäume und zeigte uns verschiedene Kräuter und Pflanzen. Wir haben nur zu zweit an dem Abend teilgenommen, sodass viel Zeit war, viele Kleinigkeiten zuzubereiten. Ein Highlight war ein süßes Kürbisgericht mit geräuchertem Mozzarella. Bruno begleitete den Abend mit Musik und kam immer wieder in die Küche zu uns. Am Ende wurden die selbst zubereiteten Köstlichkeiten gemeinsam mit gutem selbstgemachten Wein der Gastgeber gegessen. Wir können dieses Erlebnis jedem Rom-Reisenden absolut empfehlen. Die Herzlichkeit, das gute Essen, Claudia, die immer wieder wie selbstverständlich ins Italienische wechselte und man versteht sich trotzdem und Bruno, der den Abend mit Musik begleitet. Das Highlight unserer Reise!!! It begins with the train ride from Rome to Zagarolo. Getting out of the city and be mesmerized by the landscape. At the train station Bruno was waiting to greet us. During the drive to their home through Zagarolo, Bruno told us a little bit about the town. Claudia's and Bruno's home is located beautiful. Claudia led us through the wine yard, the olive trees and showed us herbs and plants. We were the only persons attending at this evening so we had a lot of time preparing different little dishes. An absolut highlight was a pumpkin dish with smoked mozzarella cheese. Bruno played and sang some songs for us and popped in and out of the kitchen. At the end we ate the delicious self made dishes with the own wine of our hosts. We absolutely recommend this experience to every Rome visitor. The warmth, the good food, Claudia, who switch automatically into Italian but there was no problem understanding each other :) and Bruno, who accompanied the evening with music. A highlight from our trip!

I would highly recommend Claudia’s cooking class. It was a superb experience!!

To join a lesson by Claudia is not only to learn more about making pasta and traditional elements of Italian cooking. It gives you the experience of meeting new people from allover the world and the sense of slow food in preparing and sitting together with friends for final lunch to enjoy it. Claudia, her husband Bruno, Guisy and finally Francesco made our small group a great day.

Short and easy trainride away from Rome, with beautiful countryside landscapes on the way. Claudia and Bruno's house is beautiful with a big garden with a vineyard, olive trees and many more things. They were very welcoming. We had a lot of fun cooking a wide variety of things and also really enjoyed eating them. It was a very nice, delicious and authentic day away from the city.

I rarely cook myself but I am amazed at how fun it is to make pasta dishes from scratch. Claudia and Giusy were excellent cooks as well as teachers, they made the whole experience immersed with Italian spirit and cooking skills. I loved the meal we had together under the grape vines, next to a pool and surrounded by Italy countryside. Oh, and the two Labradors were really friendly and cuddly as well.

My experience with Claudia and her assistant (sorry I could not spell her name) was brilliant. I love every minutes of it. Claudia’s house is so beautiful and perfect to host our cooking lesson. The class was fun, informative and intimate. We could interacted a lot with Claudia and other guests since the group is small. The two dogs are amazingly welcome and cute. We had great lesson about making ravioli and delicious meal in the garden. It is definitely awesome to take a short train to see Rome’s countryside instead of simply taking a cooking class in the urban. Highly recommend.

This day spent with Claudia and her friend Giusy was very unique and a highlight of our trip! We spent a lovely sunny morning making pasta and helping prepare all kinds of ingredients. Claudia is learning English so we had a fun time listening to her work on her conversation skills with Giusy there to help as well. Her home is a lovely atmosphere and we could have stayed there all day drinking wine if we had the time! Her husband Bruno came by for lunch and he was so energetic to talk and get to know us! The food we made together was amazing and we were sent the recipes so that we could make them again! A 10/10 experience!

Claudia was amazing. She is so passionated with what she’s doing. It was the best cooking class I’ve ever had in my life. The ambiance was like cooking with your family & friends. It was a warm welcome from Claudia, her friend Giusy and her husband Bruno. I will definitely go back to take her cooking class. I recommend everyone to take her class once you’re in Rome and want to discover more of the local cuisine.

Truly a unique experience. Claudia was warm and patient and the food was magnificent! We are not vegetarian but based on reviews, and research, I felt this cooking class offered a great value for the price. It turned out to be more than I expected. Super happy! Bruno was also great company and loved that he played the piano and sang for us after dinner. Highly recommend cooking with Claudia. You will not be disappointed.
