cooking school Italy

I only have mostly general advice. Determine first if you are looking for a one day type experience or more involved multiday course.

The one day things vary, but many involve early morning hitting the market (or the instructor may bring in the market haul) then instruction, and wrapping up with a meal early afternoon. My wife did a class like this in Rome, she used Andrea Consoni ( www.cookingclassesinrome.com ) He usually does a group, and you have 6 so no problem. My wife is a vegetarian (eats fish as well) and he made accomodations for her plus fit her into a group of other people. This is at least one example.

here is an article also that lists three other english language cooking classes ( www.eatingitalyfoodtours.com/2013/03/04/cooking-class-rome-italy/ ) You could also search this board to find other posts on the topic.

If you were planning on going all out for a multiday course, I have no recommendations, but many people then comment about finding a class in Tuscany or Bologna as opposed to Rome.

If you want to go to Rome, the "Ron in Rome" website lists several classes.

We are a family of 5 and we went for a cooking class near Rome. We took this day out in the countryside with Convivio Rome (www.conviviorome.com). They are based in a medieval village amongst olive trees and the surrounding area was stunning, similar to Tuscany. Our kids loved making their own fresh pasta with a rolling pin and having lunch in an ancient wine cellar. We also had a brief tour of their village (Toffia) and of a nearby monastery. We got there and back very easily from Rome, it was a quick 40 minute train ride and Sally sent us clear directions on how to get to the meeting point for the day. You get picked up from their local station Fara Sabina and taken back in the afternoon around 4.30 pm. Everyone agreed that this cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Rome.
