About this tour
A 4-hour hands-on cooking class in a private family kitchen where you'll learn to prepare traditional Italian dishes alongside your host. You'll cook from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made — lunch and dinner both included. This is a working home kitchen, not a commercial studio, so you're learning the way Italians actually cook at home rather than in a formal setting.
Highlights
- Hands-on cooking in a private family kitchen, not a classroom
- Prepare and eat both lunch and dinner during the session
- Learn traditional Italian home cooking techniques directly from your host
- All cooking equipment provided
- Fully wheelchair accessible spaces and surfaces
- Dietary restrictions and allergies accommodated with advance notice
- Public transport nearby for easy arrival
What to expect
You'll arrive at a private family home and head straight into the kitchen. Your host will walk you through preparing a full meal — expect to be chopping, stirring, and tasting as you go. The first part of the session focuses on the cooking itself, with your host demonstrating techniques and having you do the hands-on work.
Once lunch is ready, you'll sit down and eat together — this is part of the experience, not just fuel. After lunch, you'll move into preparing dinner. By the end of the 4 hours, you'll have cooked two separate meals and eaten at least one of them in a real home setting.

Good to know
This suits anyone keen to learn actual Italian home cooking rather than restaurant-style techniques, and works well for small groups or solo travellers wanting an intimate experience. It's also genuinely accessible — the kitchen and all areas are wheelchair-friendly, and infants can stay in prams or strollers throughout. Tell your host about allergies or dietary restrictions before you book so they can plan the menu accordingly. The session is 4 hours total, so plan your day around that window. Group size isn't specified, so confirm that when booking. Note that you'll be standing and working in a kitchen for most of the time, so wear comfortable shoes.
