Roman food tour
The Cooking Italy family
For over 13 years, we’ve been welcoming travellers to Italy through its most universal language: food. Cooking Italy began in Rome’s Prati neighbourhood with our very first experience, The Roman Food Tour. What started as a single walking tour has grown into one of Italy’s most loved food experience operators, and we’re incredibly proud of that journey. Not just for how much we’ve grown, but for how we’ve stayed true to what matters most: authenticity, quality, and genuine human connection.

About Cooking Italy
Cooking Italy offers authentic, expert-led cooking classes and local food tours designed for travellers who want to experience Italy through its food. Founded by culinary professionals and local guides, Cooking Italy was created to go beyond typical tourist activities and offer meaningful, hands-on experiences rooted in real Italian tradition.
Our experiences connect travellers with the people, techniques, and regional flavours that define Italian cuisine. From learning to make fresh pasta from scratch to exploring historic neighbourhoods through carefully curated food tours, every experience is designed to be personal, educational, and unforgettable.
Italian cuisine is not just about recipes; it is about culture, tradition, and connection. We believe the best way to understand Italy is through direct experience: cooking alongside experts, tasting regional specialities, and discovering the stories behind every dish.
Our goal is to give travellers authentic access to Italy’s culinary heritage in a way that is both approachable and deeply enriching.
