Meet the Master
Fabio Massimo Bongianni
Fabio Bongianni was born in Rome in 1961, a Roman of Romans. Exceptionally well-traveled, Rome still remains Fabio’s home.
Before finishing law school he realized his true passion is cooking. Fabio pursued his dream by attending Ritz Escoffier cooking school in Paris then created and managed the most successful line of American steak houses in Rome — in fact, the first in Italy — T-Bone Station.
In 2004 he opened That’s Amore restaurant in the center of Rome near the Trevi fountain.
Returning to his first love, cooking, he transformed his property in the medieval town of Mazzano-Romano into a cooking school. Now the class is offered in five unique venues. The goal is to give his clients an exceptional hands-on experience learning to cook in historic Rome. He has combined both his passions, cooking and teaching, to offer an unforgettable Experience.
His school has had great success for many reasons including the way he and his team of chefs teach Italian cuisine, leading students on a true culinary journey through the real Rome. The English-speaking native Italians are professional, engaging, and authentic. Students feel like friends, not just tourists.
