How would you love to cook with Nonna Giuliana in her own home when you come to Rome? This private, hands-on experience lets you choose your menu and learn to prepare authentic Italian dishes just the way her family has for generations.

Cook, laugh, and share stories around the table before sitting down to enjoy the meal you’ve created together. Along the way, Mamma Giuliana shares the traditions behind her recipes, making it personal, heartfelt, and truly Roman. It’s more than a cooking class…it’s lunch (or dinner) at Mamma’s…and the kind of memory you’ll recreate at home for years to come.

The Local Aromas Guestbook

I had the great fortune of meeting Nonna and some of the family during a cooking class. It was a fantastic experience. Not only did we cook some delicious food from scratch, but we were able to socialize and talk about Italian culture and food. I highly recommend Local Aromas.

We had such a beautiful experience Cooking with Momma Giuliana . It was set in a beautiful, warm and cozy home and this made such a magnificent start to our trip . We we were shown how to make each dish hands on . We were treated to different Italian treats and given explanations in detail of the origins and dishes and ingredients. Everything was so delicious. We truly felt like family and loved every moment they shared with us . It was the food , the love and the glimpse into a beautiful dinner with a beautiful family !!

Cooking with Mamma Giuliana was such a magical experience for my husband and I. This was my first time to Italy and my husband’s first time to Rome. Since I was a little girl, I’ve said it a million times over “I will be in Italy one day,” well let me share our experience. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were visiting family in Rome welcomed with open arms and instantly at home. Mamma Giuliana, and her family are absolutely beautiful and so welcoming, which made the whole experience even more special. Learning Roman cuisine and cooking it was absolutely spectacular, delicious, authentic, and an unforgettable memory we will always cherish. We are already looking forward to our next trip, when we’ll bring our three adult children so they too can share in this incredible experience. Cooking with Mamma Giuliana is a beautiful, heartwarming memory that stays with you. Truly amazing, and I can’t wait to return! If you’re planning a trip to Rome and want to feel right at home, contact Local Aromas for details on how to cook with Mamma Giuliana or explore one of their other unforgettable experiences, I know we will do it again. Thank you Mamma Giuliana and Local Aromas. ❤️
