Rome · Hen and stag parties

A hen or stag do in Rome that isn't another bar. Cook gnocchi, build tiramisu, then sit down with wine.

The room is yours. Up to 12 of you, aprons on. Two hours later you sit down to eat what you made, and the photos are already on everyone's phone.

Why groups pick this over a bar crawl

Everyone takes part. Nobody has to shout over music. And it ends with food.

Everyone has a job

Rolling, cutting, layering. The quiet one and the loud one both end up with flour on their hands.

Something to show for it

Recipes by email. The tiramisu story gets told at the wedding.

Bride or groom gets a moment

Tell us in the notes. We see what we can plan.

A real Roman café

Not a tourist kitchen. A family roastery open since 1923.
