Vio’s Cooking is more than just a cooking class — it’s an exclusive, immersive journey into the heart of Italian culture, created by Violante Guerrieri Gonzaga for small selected groups of travelers seeking to experience Rome in the most authentic, intimate, and unforgettable way.
Set within the walls of her historic family residence, Palazzo Taverna, Vio’s Cooking offers a rare glimpse into the refined Roman lifestyle — where art, tradition, and the joy of sharing a meal come together in perfect harmony.
The experience begins by a stroll through Campo de’ Fiori, the city’s most iconic open-air market, selecting seasonal ingredients and fresh flowers while soaking in the vibrant colors and aromas of daily life. Back at Palazzo Taverna, guests take part in a hands-on cooking class, preparing a menu of elegant, authentic Italian dishes under Violante’s artistic direction. The day culminates with a beautifully styled lunch, served al fresco on the rooftop terrace, with a breathtaking view over Rome.
Vio’s Cooking is not just about preparing a meal — it’s about living the Italian art of hospitality, celebrating beauty, flavor, and togetherness in one of the most enchanting corners of the Eternal City.
