While New York City offers plenty of classes on the fine art of Italian cooking, we think it’s best to go straight to the source.

Cooking Classes in Rome features five-hour classes in Rome’s Trastevere district taught by chef Andrea Consoli. With the guidance of chef Consoli, you’ll learn how to prepare a four-course meal including antipasto, homemade pasta and dessert.

Still hankering for more than a five-hour tutorial? Check out one of the cooking vacations offered by Gourmet on Tour. These trips, which can last from three to seven days, take epicureans to some of Italy’s best-known foodie destinations, like Sicily, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. On the Sicily trip, you’ll travel to Catania and learn recipes from a local, sample some of Modica’s legendary chocolate and tour UNESCO World Heritage sites.
