Hands-On Roman Pizza & Gelato Class at Piazza Mattei | Cooking Class | Private

Piazza Mattei in central Roma is the meeting point for a hands on culinary class that teaches pizza dough, supplì and gelato. Rome Private Pizza & Gelato Cooking Class Experience offers a private three hour session for groups of two to twelve. The meeting point is Piazza Mattei, 00186 Roma, and the workshop sits steps from the Fontana delle Tartarughe, the Renaissance turtle fountain that fills the piazza with old world character. A skilled chef leads technique focused stations so everyone learns to mix and stretch dough, manage oven timing, and finish pizzas with simple high quality toppings. You will make Roman style supplì from simmered rice to golden frying and learn the filling secrets that make the center gooey and balanced. The gelato masterclass covers custard base, sugar balance, and churning technique so you can reproduce smooth texture at home. Throughout the class hosts pour well selected Italian wine and serve small appetizers so tasting accompanies learning. The experience feels like a workshop in a living museum because Piazza Mattei and its cobbled alleys show layers of Roman history and urban life. The Fontana delle Tartarughe dates from the late sixteenth century and its bronze turtles are an instant reference point outside the workshop. Local ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh milk anchor the recipes and connect the class to regional Lazio flavors. Practical notes: plan for about three hours, arrive at Piazza Mattei, 00186 Roma, and wear comfortable shoes for standing on cobbles. The owner or operator information beyond the workshop location is not listed in the booking details provided. This format suits couples, small groups, and food curious travelers who prefer a direct hands on lesson rather than a demonstration. After class you can photograph the fountain in warm evening light and walk toward the Jewish Ghetto to continue tasting Roman food culture. Booking pricing is listed as Adults & Children ( Group of 2 - 12 pax ) - 2128€ and reservations are required to secure a private session. Bring curiosity and an appetite; the recipes provided let you recreate Roman flavors long after you return home. Photographers should aim for early morning or golden hour to capture soft light on travertine facades and the fountain bronze. Dietary needs can usually be accommodated but note any allergies when booking and confirm whether wine varieties are included in your private session. The class provides recipes, technique notes, and a small booklet from the gelato segment so you can practice at home and share the experience with friends. Meeting is at Piazza Mattei, 00186 Roma; after the class step out to the fountain, sip an espresso, and let the flavors of Rome settle.
