Live Virtual Italian Cooking Party and Good News for Italy

We just want to keep you updated with the latest good news from Italy. The situation in Italy has improved so much that 'lockdown' has been lifted today and from June 3, travel restrictions between European countries will be lifted altogether. These positive changes bring us hope that international travel will soon be possible. 

The New York Times, in an article titled 'The First Signs of Travel's Return?'
mentioned Italy as one of the 10 safest countries to travel to in the near future.
Everyone has been affected by the pandemic and our family business, like all small tourism-based and hospitality businesses in Italy, had all bookings suddenly cancelled since mid February 2020. So, as you can imagine, we are very excited to see light at the end of the tunnel and look forward to your return to Italy.

This sudden change has given us a chance to go virtual. We thank all of you for supporting us in this new venture, following our Facebook live cooking classes, taking our online virtual cooking workshops and our online video cooking packages. Again, we really appreciate your support.

To add FUN and more interaction to our virtual Italian Cooking Classes, so we are introducing Live Cooking Parties via Zoom (you don't even need a Zoom account). It's almost like being together in our kitchen in Italy, you can catch up with your friends and family over a fun activity and the cooking class is totally interactive.

Here's some wonderful feedback from the Virtual Italian Cooking Party with had with Nola and friends last Saturday:
"We (my daughter and I) and over 15 friends from all over the United States just had the most marvelous Saturday cooking lesson and lunch with Chef Guido. We made gnocchi and ragu sauce and had a marvelous time catching up, learning about Italian cooking and enjoying a delicious lunch. If you are looking for ways to spend time with family and friends, ask Convivio Rome about their zoom cooking parties. My friend Angela made the most beautiful gnocchi!!! What a wonderful time! “ 

To give you the opportunity to try this new fun, interactive activity with your family and friends, please visit this page before midnight Sunday, 24th of May 2020.


If you would prefer an even more personalised experience, Chef Guido also runs one-to-one virtual cooking classes. Find out more here.

Stay in touch and stay safe!
