I highly recommend One Day Chef Academy for beginners and veteran cooks alike. Focusing on traditional family recipes while incorporating modern techniques, Chef Matteo added his Italian sense of humor to the class. We did not need a reservation ahead of time and Chef Matteo was able to schedule us for the next day when we walked in to asking about his cooking class. There are two One Day Chef Academy locations. Both are within 10 minutes from each other. Whether you are looking to learn pastries, pasta, or pizza from scratch while in Rome, you must visit Chef Matteo at One Day Chef Academy.

A highlight of our trip to Rome was a cooking class with Matteo/ One Day Chef. Matteo was able to modify the class for me (who loves to cook) and my husband (who rarely cooks.) It was very much fun for both of us. Matteo is quite professional and had an honest answer for every question we could possible ask. So glad that we are now making pasta, sauce and dessert the right way!!

Matteo was a fantastic teacher and coached us each individually on Italian cooking techniques. We learned so much and had a fantastic meal. Highly recommend his cooking class! Great atmosphere and a great teacher!

One Day Chef with Matteo was the best! We were a family of 5 and each had our own station. We received a warm welcome with hot focaccia (one of his specialties) and choice of beverage. We started by making tiramisu as it had to set, then 2 types of pasta-linguine and a ricotta, lemon, and nutmeg ravioli. We then moved to making a fresh cherry tomato sauce for the ravioli and a ciacio de Pepe sauce for the linguine. Matteo was so knowledgeable and patient with us. His facility was clean and all ingredients fresh. This was my third cooking class in Italy thru the years and was the best! We were able to eat all our specialties and converse with Matteo. It will remain a wonderful memory for us all.

This class was incredible! Matteo was a great teacher, super fun and engaging and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun experience when in Rome

This class was amazing! Matteo was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! This class was a blast and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cooking class while in Rome.

The food was simpelt amazing! And i learned so much about making pasta the real Italian way. I will definetely use the methodes later on in life.

Matteo was an outstanding chef and teacher. He was very kind and helpful. The recipe was easy to follow and the food was very delicious. Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience making pizza. I met nice people, It was wonderful to be in such an environment. I Hope to return soon

I took the course few months ago and it was a fantastic experience. We got useful theoretical tips as well as practical experience in pizza making. I never made pizza before, but it was still super easy to follow and fun. Course is held in Italian and English, so it is also foreigners-friendly. Each of the participants made their own pizza with various toppings, which we all ate together and the end of the course. I highly recommend the course to anyone who would like to learn how to make their own pizza or simply have fun cooking!

Our private cooking class in Rome was so much fun! Matteo taught our family of 4, including two teenage boys (15 & 18), how to make ravioli with fresh tomato sauce, fettuccine is cacio e pepe sauce and tiramisu. The recipes were classic and simple which gave us so much confidence to head home and make pasta and sauce from scratch. My 18-year-old even said he wanted to make dinner for his friends! Matteo would show us what to do first and then we would head to our work stations and create the dish ourselves. When we sat down to eat, we loved every bite. Matteo’s class was definitely a highlight of our entire trip.

Wow.....wow......wow.........if you truly want to experience Rome, take this class......Matteo was fantastic.......my wife is a great cook ( me ?… nope)......yet I made pasta from scratch, tiarramassu, sauce, ravioli, fettuccine .....and it was delicious......I learned so much and it was so much fun.......very highly recommend
