Itinerary and highlights

Get ready for a fun and flavourful night in the heart of Rome. Just a short walk from the Colosseum, you’ll join a lively cooking class led by a local chef and mixologist who will guide you through the art of making pizza and enjoying cocktails.

You’ll start by preparing your own pizza from scratch, mixing the dough, shaping it by hand, adding your favourite toppings, and baking it to crispy, cheesy perfection. While the pizzas cook, the atmosphere turns festive with a mixology experience. You’ll enjoy 3 spritz throughout the session, learning about Aperol, Hugo, and Limoncello styles as you sip and connect with your fellow chefs.

Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down and taste your homemade creations with a drink in hand. It’s the perfect evening of food, fun, and social connection, ideal for solo travellers, couples, or groups looking to experience Roman hospitality in a delicious and interactive way.
