The bustling port city of Civitavecchia offers hands-on cooking experiences that go beyond tourist traps. These intimate classes take place in local homes where experienced cooks share generations-old recipes and techniques. My favorite classes include market tours where you’ll learn to select the freshest ingredients before heading to the kitchen. The tiramisu and Spritz-making workshops are particularly good – they’re practical lessons you can easily recreate back home.
I especially love the small-group format (usually 6-8 people) which allows for plenty of individual attention. The best part? You’ll cook in real Italian kitchens, not commercial spaces, making these experiences wonderfully authentic.
