We really enjoyed our pizza and pasta making class. The instructor made the class so fun and easy to follow along. Everything was delicious. We can't wait to make pasta when we get home.

Misleading listing and unresponsive provider cost us $265. Avoid
Adam_G, September 2026
This was easily one of the worst experiences we had booking an activity during our trip to Italy, and I would strongly caution anyone considering this class.
The Viator listing presented multiple pickup/location options in Rome, but it did not clearly identify where the cooking class would actually take place. Because location was important to our plans, I began contacting the provider on September 5, weeks before our scheduled class, specifically asking them to confirm the actual location. I reached out multiple times and received no response.
Despite having weeks to answer a very simple question, the provider did not confirm the actual location until we were already inside the 24-hour cancellation window. Their only excuse was that they don't check their viator chat, and that it was my fault for not pursuing other contact methods. The location they finally provided was not the location marked on the map as pickup location on the listing and was substantially farther outside central Rome.
They advertise transportation, but the designated pickup point was roughly 20 minutes away from the pickup point provided on the listing map, while the actual class location was only about another 10 minutes beyond that.
Also, their 'free transportation' was just meeting at the train station. Had the actual location clearly been disclosed on the listing or had they answered any of our attempts to confirm it. We could have made an informed decision while we were still eligible to cancel.
Instead, after repeatedly trying to get this information well in advance, we finally received it only after the cancellation deadline had effectively passed. When we explained the situation and requested a refund, the provider refused.
As a result, we lost the entire $265 we paid for an activity we did not attend.
To be clear, this was not a case of us changing our minds at the last minute. We proactively contacted the provider weeks beforehand because their listing was unclear. The combination of multiple locations being presented on the listing, their failure to answer repeated requests for clarification, disclosure of the actual location only after we were inside the cancellation window, and then refusing to refund our $265 was completely unacceptable.
I can't review the cooking itself because we ultimately could not attend. I can, however, review how our booking was handled, and based on that experience I would never book with this provider again.
If you're considering this class, get the exact location of the class itself confirmed IN WRITING before booking. Do not assume that any of the locations presented on the listing are where the class will actually take place.

We did not attend and lost our fees
Sherry_M, September 2026
Meeting place was very difficult to find. Our cabbie could not figure it out and if we went directly to the class it was an hour from our hotel
