Discover the flavors of Rome from market to table on this unforgettable culinary experience! Start at the bustling Mercato Trionfale, one of Rome’s most authentic and vibrant food markets, and the largest covered food market in Europe.

With your chef you’ll explore its 270 stalls, overflowing with fresh, seasonal and specialist regional produce. Meet the lively vendors and select the perfect ingredients for your cooking class, including farm-fresh potatoes for the gnocchi and fragrant basil and sun-ripe tomatoes for the sauce in the summer, or other seasonal veggies.

After the market, head to the LivTours Cooking School, featuring a custom-designed kitchen and state-of-the-art facilities. With a maximum of just six guests, this small-group class ensures plenty of personalized attention as you learn the secrets behind perfect homemade gnocchi.

At your own fully equipped workstation, don your apron and prepare to get hands-on! Under the guidance of your chef, you’ll transform your hand-picked potatoes into soft, pillowy gnocchi dough using just water, eggs, and flour. You’ll then make a classic seasonal sauce, like the summer classic with sweet tomatoes and fragrant basil to dress your delicate dumplings – simple, fresh, and bursting with sun-ripened flavor. Traditionally in Rome, gnocchi is served as a first course, like pasta. It is historically eaten on Thursdays – “Giovedi Gnocchi” to fill up before Fish Fridays and Tripe Saturdays!

Once the cooking is done, it’s time to relax and enjoy with your fellow guests, Roman style. Cooking and eating together is central to the Italian lifestyle: la dolce vita! Savor your handmade gnocchi, paired with a glass of wine. To complete your Roman feast, you’ll enjoy cantucci cookies, delicious to dip in a glass of sweet dessert wine: a velvety vin santo.

Bring the magic of Rome to your own kitchen with a digital recipe booklet, included as a special gift from LivTours!

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
