In 2019, Chef Riccardo Alberti came up with the idea of launching Riccardo Cooking Class with the vision of creating a space for food lovers and travelers to learn the art of pasta making.
Inspired by his two “nonna” Lidia and Isabella (aka “Ninni”) and the culinary tradition and mastery of mom Giovanna, he decided to open the first LAB in Rome. His grandma Lidia offered him her loft with her loving kitchen and the first lab was born.
Quickly becoming a popular destination for tourists eager to experience Roman culinary traditions. Due to overwhelming demand, Riccardo expanded, opening a second lab next door.

Cooking with my mom and nonna
Today, our two labs host thousands of guests from around the world, offering fun and accessible pasta-making lessons while also immersing them in Roman culture. Our passionate team of chefs not only teaches pasta techniques but also shares the rich customs of Rome—gestures included!
The smiles of our clients, who leave with both new skills and unforgettable memories, inspire us every day. Our ultimate dream is to create a global community of Pasta Lovers—where people can connect, share, and learn both online and in person.
Since I was a kid, I have dreamed of becoming a Chef!
My mom and 2 grandmothers were asking for my help every time they needed to cook something and I believe that getting my hands dirty, ignited my passion and love for food. I give credits to them for my career and love that I have for my job.
Besides food, I am passionate about wine and I attended and graduated from the Sommelier School.
If you join our classes, you won’t just learn how to make pasta – you’ll also gain the knowledge to taste and appreciate great wines.

For the past year, together with Riccardo, I’ve been offering cooking classes, where I can share the simplicity and beauty of Roman cuisine while keeping the tradition of fresh pasta alive.
