Marilee's Cooking Class in Rome | Private Reviews

LivTours Knows Hospitality

This was our third LivTours experience, and it was the best yet. Everything was smooth, personal, and full of flavor. You leave full — in every sense of the word.

Warm, Wholesome, Wonderful

There was something special about cooking alongside Marilee — she brings a calm and warmth that makes you want to stay all day. Bonus points for the espresso on the terrace!

From Dough to Delizioso

The fresh pasta was a revelation, and the second-course meat dish was something I never thought I could make myself. I’ve been recommending LivTours nonstop since we got back.

Not Just a Tour — A Cultural Exchange

Cooking with Marilee was the closest we got to understanding everyday Italian life. We learned so much more than just recipes. Grazie, LivTours.

Best Tour We Took in Italy

We did five tours in Italy and this was our #1. Marilee’s charisma, the flow of the class, and the incredible food made it unforgettable. We now make pasta every Sunday!

Unexpectedly Emotional

Something about making food with your hands, surrounded by strangers who quickly become friends — it just hits different. I found myself tearing up during our toast before the meal. Highly recommend.

Authentic, Intimate, and Incredibly Tasty

It’s rare to feel like a guest instead of a tourist, but that’s exactly what this class achieved. The terrace where we had espresso was a dream. Don’t miss this!

Transported to an Italian Kitchen

Marilee’s home smells like heaven. The olive oil, the simmering sauces, the fresh basil — it was sensory overload in the best way. We left with new skills and some great laughs.

Kids Loved It (So Did We!)

Our 10-year-old got really into kneading the dough and shaping the pasta — Marilee was amazing with him. The pizzelle were light and flavorful, and I finally understand why Italian cooking is so revered.

Pasta, Passion, and Prosecco

Who knew making pasta by hand could be so relaxing? My boyfriend and I loved every second, especially the wine and cooking stories from Marilee. We left full, a little tipsy, and very inspired.
