Wonderful way to learn classics of Italy. Large kitchen with many stations. We lucked out and had only 2 in our class - hubby and me. We made tiramisu and two kinds of pasta - fettuccine and ravioli stuffed w ricotta. We also made a tomato sauce for the ravioli. Best part - we could eat it after! And a source it apron and chef's hat! The teacher is clear and explains the steps. Most recipes had few ingredients but really fresh and delicious. Matteo is a great teacher. read more

One Day Chef - Cooking Schools Near Me - Rome, RM

This was excellent for beginners and our two advanced chefs. Matteo made it look so easy and it was. He was a very good teacher. The wine and pizza and Prosecco on top of dinner ( pumpkin risotto , eggplant parm, and tiramisu) what a night. He did a class for just 4 of us for our wedding anniversaries. This was real service! read more

Fun date night with Mateo! We made homemade Ravioli and cacio de pepe and tiramisu. All yummy dishes ... low key cooking and no pressure to make it perfect. It's very close to a beautiful basilica so we toured the church first before going to the class. Mateo had appetizers for us so we weren't starving. He gave us good tips on how to cook at home and add or change things up with the basic recipes. Great job Mateo. Do this if you have some spare time in Rome! read more

Had an amazing time going to the market and cooking a few meals. The food was delicious and I learned a lot. I recommend this to people who want to learn how to make Italian food, want to learn techniques, and for those who just want to learn how to cook delicious foods. read more

This was for sure the best part of Rome and one of the top activities during our entire European trip. The class was just me and my two teenage sons, so we moved at a pace that was great for us. Chef Mateo was amazing and the food we created was some of the best food I have ever had. I greatly enjoy ravioli and our from-scratch ravioli and sauce were amazing. read more

Hands down best part of my European trip! This is a must do for a hands on cooking class. Many other classes are demonstration only and this class is hands on with individual stations to cook. Matteo was patient and answered all our questions. read more

Matteo was great! He was so personable, and gave reasoning behind everything we did so that we knew the reasoning, so we could adapt when we got back home and didn't have the exact equipment or ingredients back in the states. Everything was so delicious, and we had an amazing time! Would highly recommend this class! read more

I was looking for a good class for the family as we were staying in Rome. I wanted something that made really delicious food and be in close proximity to Rome. One Day Chef was the perfect choice. First of all the location was so close that we walked to it from our place. After the class was done, the kids were pooped, so we took the train back, which was located just 2 min. from One Day Chef. Matteo, was amazing! From the time I booked, he was easy to communicate with and is willing to help with whatever we needed. The food was the best in Italy. We arrived to the shop and Matteo had the most delicious pizza waiting for us to eat. It was so simple, just delicious bread, seasonings and cherry tomatoes, but it was the best pizza we had in Rome. I couldn't believe it. We ate it all up. We made 2 pasta dishes and tiramisu. It was so fun and simple, that even my 11 year old was entertained the entire time. Matteo's english is terrific and he is a great teacher. We made ravioli's with tomato sauce and a Spaghetti with a white cheese and pepper sauce. It was so simple and authentic. I will be making fresh authentic pasta forever now! Matteo made cooking simple and incredibly delicious. A big thank you to Yelp contributors for helping us find this amazing place. It really was the highlight of our trip! read more

Our family of four, including 2 boys, ages 13 and 11, took the pasta making class with Chef Matteo. We absolutely loved our experience. The school is a stand-alone space that's very spacious, clean and true as advertised. We made 2 unique pasta dishes and a dessert. Each of us had our own workstation and got to have individual hands on experience through the whole process. The recipes were simple enough for us to follow; Matteo provided great instruction! All of the dishes were delicious and we were all completely stuffed after the class. My boys said it was one of the highlights from our vacation. Matteo is very friendly and engaged with our boys in both explaining the recipes and also just making them comfortable. My son wants to buy a pasta maker so he can try the recipes at home! We would highly recommend Matteo and the class!! Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful experience for our family. read more

The market tour and cooking class were amazing. we met at the largest market in Rome and selected our ingredients for spinach ricotta ravioli, parmesan and pepper tagliolini and tiramisu. We got samples to nibble on at every station. even saw flowering zucchini and got to taste the flowers on pizza. One Day Chef has multiple kitchen stations, all beautiful and well appointed, in a large room. my husband, daughter, matteo and myself were at one of the stations. matteo demonstrated each step and we each prepared all three dishes, and then of course ate them. we prepared and cooked while relaxing with prosecco and Italian wine. It was perfect and the most memorable activity we did while in Rome. Thanks Matteo read more

This was the most memorable experience for my daughter and I while in Rome. Matteo greeted us with pizza and Prosecco and put us at ease right from the beginning. We had a fantastic time learning to cook Ravioli, Fettuccini, a fresh tomato sauce and Tirami Su for dessert. Everything was hands on with our own cooking stations. This class is HIGHLY recommended. Matteo is a fantastic instructor and makes sure you succeed with your dish. read more

Definitely recommend this place. Chef Matteo is an amazing chef and teacher. I had a great time while in Rome and I went to his class and it turned out to be a private lesson just me and chef. I learned how to make two pasta dishes and Tiramisu, which happens to be my favorite dessert of all time. I have made these same dishes a handful of times now for my friends and family since I've returned home. Thank you so much chef Matteo for that amazing experience. I trully appreciate it and i had a blast!!! read more

My wife and I went to Matteo's cooking school as a morning activity in Rome. We had seen most of the sights by that time, and so we wanted to take home something besides photos. So we booked this through our concierge and went by cab to the school. We met Matteo and received our aprons, towels and hat (which we took home with us), and we had some Prosecco (I'm probably not spelling that right). Then we made the Tiramisu (which, by the way, we made again last night and it was fabulous!). After the tiramisu we made the dough for the ravioli. Then we made the filling for the ravioli and then made the sauce. The sauce was so simple, I assumed it would not be great. But it was better than I expected containing only tomatoes, garlic and basil. I learned that real Italian cooking does not need to be complex. Next we rolled out the dough and placed the filling inside. We cooked it, and ate it, and wow, was I ever impressed. We came home and put up Ravioli with different fillings in the freezer. In short this was probably the most worthwhile activity we did in Rome. After you've had your fill or art and history, fill up on a cooking class that teaches you something you'll be able to use for the rest of your life! read more

I have to say this was probably one of the best experiences in Italy ! It's totally worth the money spent. We made two pasta dishes and a dessert. The main chef is amazing! I can't say one negative thing about this place. read more

This was a very fun experience my dad and I had when we were in Italy. You don't have to be a master chef in order to have fun and cook. The instructions were easy to follow and we both learned how to make authentic Italian food! I would highly recommend taking a cooking class to anyone who lives in or visits Rome! read more

My family and I just returned from a two week vacation to Europe and this was one of the highlights of our trip. My children enjoyed Matteo's cooking class more than some of the museums and castles that we toured. I had done some research before hand on what type of cooking class to attend and chose Matteo's over the others because of the hands on experience and the fact that each person would be able to have their own work station. Some other classes spend time taking you to local markets shopping for ingredients and then you go to someone's home were you might have to look over someone's shoulder due to the lack of space. Matteo has a large kitchen with everything you need to make an authentic Italian dish from scratch. I never thought that I could make pasta from scratch but now that Matteo showed me how I have ordered my own pasta machine. The location of Matteo's cooking school is only a five minute walk from metro (San Giovanni - A line) making it very easy to get to from anywhere in Rome. Grazie Matteo for a great time. read more

We had such a fun experience! My husband (who does not cook) and I had a private class with Chef Matteo during our recent trip to Rome. He greeted us with a glass of prosecco, warm bread and salumi to start our class. We learned to make spinach ravioli, pasta carbonara, and tiramisu ... all from scratch. I had never made pasta before and was thrilled with the outcome for our ravioli. Can't wait to make it at home. The carbonara was yummy, and so easy. Chef Matteo showed us how simple, fresh and local ingredients can make delicious dishes. The afternoon came to a close with an espresso to enjoy with our tiramisu. We would highly recommend this experience -- the space was clean and well designed; it can accommodate up to 16 people in a class. Kudos to Chef Matteo and his staff for creating such an enjoyable experience. We'll be back! read more

We had a great day learning to cook Roman food with Matteo! My 11 year old son & I went, & he wasn't very excited about doing a cooking lesson; but he loved it! He even wants us to buy a pasta maker now so we can make more at home! The food was delicious, & it was a fun experience! :) Dianna M read more
