About

Learn how to make authentic and organic tiramisu and Italian Gelato in Rome's city Centre. No doubt tiramisu is the most famous Italian dessert worldwide, but who makes the best in town? Learn how to make a perfect artisanal tiramisu starting from baking your biscuits to the final taste. Your tiramisu class will teach you all secrets to making this amazing and delicious sweet from the base to a step-by-step process in which you'll be a chef, not a spectator. First, we’ll meet at one of the best gelato shops in town, near the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. You'll be introduced to the world of gelato, tasting several amazing flavors and learning about the difference ice-cream and gelato, sorbet (gelato water-based), and gelato.

After training our taste buds on quality ingredients, we’ll walk 5 minute’s distance to the place of the cooking class and be ready for a full immersion into the tiramisu world, learning the importance of choosing quality ingredients with an eye to freshness and organically produced food. Then you'll be provided with an apron and ready to make, with your hands, but under the supervision of a chef, your tiramisu. In the meantime, learn how to make gelato water-based (Italian artisan sorbet) with fresh and seasonal fruit.

At the end of the lesson, you'll have samples of your Tiramisu, especially your creations, and you'll receive the recipes to make Tiramisu again when back home. The experience is suitable for everyone.

"Great tour!"

Giulia was great! She took us to several different locations and explained the differences and basics of Italian coffee culture. She answered all our questions and was a great tour guide!

"Fun with lots of treats!"

Overall we really enjoyed the tour. It was a nice break from more intense sightseeing in the hot sun. Walking was easy and the desserts were tasty. Never had granita before and really liked it. Tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to chat with. Company was very nice to deal with when making our reservations and they accommodated a few special food restrictions with no problems. Would have liked some “behind the scenes” access to be included as part of the tour.

"Delicious and Informative!"

What better way to push through jetlag than with an espresso tour?! The espresso and food were delicious and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about not only the tasting experience, but in offering us helpful tidbits about the city. She taught us how to order espresso (a process I didn't realize would be so different from the U.S.!); that there were 2500 fountains all around Rome that offered free, clean drinking water; and relayed interesting cultural backstory about the statues and piazzas we passed. This guidance helped make our experience throughout the week so much smoother and more pleasant than it would have been. We ended up getting to try espresso prepared three different ways, two kinds of gelato, and a tiramisu. Our guide was so accommodating: The tiramisu place had sold out of it by the time we got there and she quickly ordered us tiramisu-espresso (bonus!) and booked us at another shop that made excellent tiramisu as well. Friendly, exciting, tasty way to start the week!

Meeting Point

We will meet at Piazza della Minerva, in front of the Obelisco (the elephant statute).
