Reviews for Tivoli Day Trip: Villa D’este & Cooking Class
A memorable cooking journey in Tivoli.
Harry_B
Wonderful and unique experience in the home of Chef David and Elena. After a warm welcome, the cooking tour of regional Italian food and wine began. They provided insightful and easy to understand background information on the dishes and beverages with a smile. They were attentive, and the cooking experience was good for people of all skill levels. They provide very high quality, fresh ingredients, and the result was an enjoyable afternoon and meal. Tivoli is also a very beautiful town worth a visit. We recommend this experience highly.
A MUST do!

By far the BEST experience! A MUST do! Davide and his family are beyond kind and generous. The food and wine were plenty! Lucy and Ro were also amazing! This is a once in a life time tour!
Amazing experience in Tivoli!

Chef Davide and Elena (as well as their 2 dogs) were the most gracious hosts. This was an incredible experience start to finish and we had the best time! We made 2 different types of pasta, used fresh herbs from the herbs they are growing right on the property, were treated to a fabulous feast of food and wine! Then they drove us to villa d’este which were some of the best fountains and gardens I have ever seen. A very special private day on Tivoli outside the hustle and bustle of the city. We will Never forget it! Would 100% recommend!!
Your dream of cooking and sitting on the porch of a hillside Villa is here

Absolutely wonderful. Excellent is the word. From the moment you are picked up with an outstanding chauffeur to David meeting you in the Square in Tivoli. To the drive down to his hillside home it’s absolutely wonderful and you’ve only just begun. Davide and Elena. are truly warm and genuine people so very kind welcoming you into their beautiful home . You begin with everything that this chef has prepared for your lunch. Starting with appetizers. There is a layout of the meals that Davide is going to teach you to prepare yourself. The setting was exactly what we wanted, as far as stepping out of the hustle and bustle of Rome and enjoying a bit of Roma countryside, culture and foods and people. Davide is native born from Tivoli and joyfully shares the history and culture of his land. Davide is truly a chef and yet the sauces and the pasta he teaches you to prepare are exactly something I will do at home and share with my friends. He spent time showing me the proper technique for kneading my dough . I highly recommend this. I cannot thank enough these very warm and kind people for allowing me to have a dream come true and memories of an experience while I’m in my busy busy days of work back at home.
Excellent and will bring more family back

If you want to experience Rome more then just a bunch of amazing old history, book this day to experience living history. Davide welcomes you into his beautiful hillside home along with Elena. The chauffeur is excellent driving us without any worries to the peaceful historic hills of Tivoli. Davide is an excellent chef and a native to his land. He has been doing this for years and his love of cooking and sharing history and food and good times is genuine. We will come here again with more of our family. Truly good, kind, generous, joyful… I could go on and on. We trusted previous reviews and we are glad we did. Grazie mille Davide and Elena.
