About this tour
Discover Rome through its market flavors, then turn fresh ingredients into a meal you make yourself. This 4-hour Rome market tour and private cooking class begins at Mercato Esquilino, where you’ll shop for ingredients and taste specialties such as cheese, prosciutto, and pizza.
After the market visit, head to One Day Chef’s cooking school for a hands-on class. Each participant works at an individual station with a cooktop, preparing pasta and sauce from scratch rather than watching someone else do the cooking. The menu features ravioli, tagliolini cacio e pepe, and tiramisu. Then sit down to enjoy what you’ve made, with a 3-course dinner, wine tasting, and other beverages listed among the inclusions. Recipes are sent by email, and you’ll receive a certificate.
This Rome market tour and private cooking class offers a personal way to explore local ingredients and Italian cooking. Book your place and get ready to shop, cook, and savor your own creations.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 35% in Rome means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Rome by this score.
