Attracted by the excellent reviews, we decided to try the Roman cooking class, also because we were tempted by the idea of a final dinner together. The setting is lovely and the atmosphere pleasant, but there were way too many people: more than a true cooking class, it often becomes more like "watching others cook."
For the rather high price, I would have expected a more hands-on and engaging experience, not just "throwing a pan every now and then." The tastings were nice, but even here I was expecting something different: a real convivial dinner, as described in the course presentation, and not just small samples. I would suggest dividing the tastings into several dishes, since some people seemed to have come there to feed themselves and didn't give everyone a chance to try the dish.
Overall, it was a decent experience, but with expectations decidedly higher than what was actually offered.

We took an ethnic cooking class, and what can I say, it was amazing!
Mara and Giovanni explained to us beautifully from start to finish, all the steps, cooking methods, and everything you need to replicate at home (including shops where you can get supplies).
Being able to cook and get hands-on with making ravioli was a real treat, along with the tastings at the end, which were definitely worth a try. 😋
Absolutely worth repeating, as are the other classes, as they're so many and varied: BRAVELY WELL DONE!

I attended the dumpling-themed evening, and it was a wonderful evening.
The workshop was really well-structured; four hours passed without me even noticing. I learned a ton about dumplings, and the atmosphere was convivial and wonderful. The dumplings came out great, and the people who taught the class were extremely knowledgeable; they made us feel at ease and at ease. Thanks again!

A wonderful experience, an evening dedicated to preparing nine risottos: cooked and eaten. Giuliano is always top-notch, a capable expert, and a thorough teacher. An interesting lesson. When we talk about risottos, we often think of them as common or banal dishes, but when they are prepared with the right creativity, the result is sure to satisfy even the most discerning gourmets. The participants were active and friendly. I recommend the experience; you'll learn a lot. Thanks to Giuliano Gingoli and his collaborators.

I attended the risotto cooking class at Laboratorio Cingoli and was absolutely thrilled!
We prepared various types of risotto—from saffron to artichokes, from asparagus to radicchio, and even mussels, mixed seafood, pears, and Taleggio and porcini mushrooms. It was fantastic to immediately put the chef's explanations into practice and observe all the techniques used firsthand. At the end of each course, we were able to taste our dishes, making the experience even more interesting. 😋
A wonderful experience, definitely worth repeating!

I took the risotto class and it was a truly enriching experience. The class lasted 4 hours and we made 11 different types of risotto, which we all tasted along the way (they were truly delicious, you'll leave feeling full!). It was so helpful to see the process repeated so many times, allowing you to fully grasp all the techniques. The work is group-based, and it's nice to feel part of a brigade. Perhaps the only complaint was that there were a few of us to allow each of us to take care of at least one risotto, but regardless, it was a wonderful experience that I would do again in a heartbeat! Thanks also for the warm welcome and preparation of Giuliano and his staff!
