Our “La Cena, An Italian Dinner” experience provides the rare opportunity to be invited into a private Italian home and learn the key elements that go into creating a traditional, home-cooked Italian meal.

Located on the Aventine hill, perhaps the most elegant of Rome's famed seven, our chef, Daniela, and her welcoming home will play host to our gastronomic tutorial. We begin with a crisp glass of prosecco, paired with tasty appetizers, or antipasti. Daniela will then invite us into her fully equipped kitchen to demonstrate, step by step, the preparations to creating a seasonal first course (pasta or rice), a hearty second course (usually meat or fish), paired with fitting side dishes of fresh vegetables.

Our Italian Cooking takes place in the home of our chef, located on the Aventine hill (the very heart of Ancient Rome) where in her modern, well-equipped kitchen we will discover the secrets of recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. Whether we are seasoned cooks or beginners in the kitchen, a morning with our expert will not only help develop culinary skills, but will provide a fun way to learn more about Italian culture.
