Chef Daniele from the start was very communicative and easy to work with. He planned a perfect birthday dinner for my mother’s 70th. Whatever I asked for he delivered on it ten fold! He allowed us to be part of the experience while he was cooking, have a full culinary breakdown of the menu items and even have some history behind the dishes he served us. From the starter of 3 different bruschetta’s to the dessert of tiramisu and wine cookies. Daniele did not disappoint! He was even able to secure wine that paired with our meal so we could toast to my mom on her day! He cleaned up the dishes before leaving, and we even had some left overs to hold us to the next day. I would 100% recommend Chef. His experience, knowledge and love for the culinary arts is impeccable! Thank you so much for making the beginning of our trip in Rome so magical Chef!

The best cooking class I've ever done without a doubt. I highly recommend this, especially if you like cooking. Daniele is a very friendly and passionate person and an experienced and professionally trained chef, which made the whole experience fun, pleasant and educational. Being in a smaller group at the Airbnb meant that the whole class was very hands on. Taking from his experience working in many restaurants, including michelin star restaurants, Daniele not only helped us cook some delicious meals, he also taught us some preparation tricks and techniques that will help with all future cooking! To add to this, Daniele was knowledgeable in history, and so each dish came with its origin story which added to the intrigue. I 100% recommend this to anybody who likes good Italian food, and who loves cooking!

This was the best cooking class I have ever done, in which I ate the best pasta I have ever eaten! This is simply the number 1 thing to do in Rome! Daniele is amazing, highly experienced chef who is not only knowledgeable about the food, but also Roman history and culture. This cooking class therefore gave a full experience. Daniele was very flexible in working in our airbnb accommodation to ensure the class went smoothly. He cleaned up the kitchen whilst we all ate and left it cleaner than it was before we cooked! The food was delicious and we had left overs for lunch the next day! All food was fresh and seasonal and to a standard expected in a high quality restaurant. Overall, I have done cooking classes all over the world and this by far gave the best teachings/tips for cooking, history of the area, and quality of the food. I highly recommend this experience.

Daniele’s cooking class was the best! He put so much effort in and shared so many recipes, techniques and stories with us. It was so convenient with him coming to our accom, which didn’t have the best cooking equipment, but he made sure he brought everything that was needed. All the food we cooked was delicious and we loved hearing the history behind each meal. His charisma and cooking skills made the class so entertaining. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience a great Roman meal and learn new skills, all in great company.

We met Daniele on our amazing golf cart tour and totally amazed by his city and history knowledge. But his tasty little secret – he is an incredible chef!! So we ended our last night on our Roma trip in the most unforgettable way—Chef Daniele coming to our home to prepare a classic Sunday Roman dinner. It was truly the highlight of our entire trip and the perfect send-off to an already amazing time in Rome. Every dish was incredible, and the whole experience felt like a fun family dinner with stories, warm, authentic, and special. Traditional Italian meal with a healthy twist from a truly wonderful person. Thank you for such a memorable evening Daniele, we’ll be talking about it for a long time! It may take us a while, but we’re definitely going to try recreating his wine cookies at home. And a fun bonus, he sent us away with leftover palpito - ricotta cake with sour cherries and more wine cookies wrapped up safely for our flight!
