“The reviews are correct! This is a trip highlight experience. It was so much fun. Giacomo is a great teacher. He made our group of 8 (who we just met!) feel like family. We learned how to make pasta from scratch, surprisingly easy! The meal was great, we ate our freshly made pasta family style with wine. Definitely book this. Some of our best memories of Florence.”

“This tour was incredible! We had an amazing time in each city, and the winery was also fun and just a great experience. Marta and Ricardo were the best too. She explained the history of the area and gave us great suggestions for each town, and Ricardo got us to each destination safely. This was the best day of our Italy trip, and you should definitely book it!”
Make a 4-course Tuscan menu in Florence, then eat your work with wine. Small-group class, pro chef tips, and take-home recipes.
“This is a very nice cooking class with a knowledgeable staff and chances to work hands on. Only comment to make is to not rely on the sample menu to make a decision. I picked this class because risotto was on the menu rather than making fresh pasta. I know how to make fresh pasta and was trying to avoid such a class. Not complaining, just providing a word to the wise. Food was excellent, could have been a little more generous with the wine (1 bottle for six people was IMHO a little skimpy) but all in all a decent experience though I will probably not repeat it. Cheers!”
Florence pasta and gelato class with hands-on fresh pasta, gelato demo, and a wine-fueled meal. Optional Central Market tour, recipes to take home.
“Class with John and Alice was great! They were patient and helpful. We were lucky to have a small group, and made two delicious pastas. Only (minor) complaint is that the wine isn’t served until almost 2 hours in, whereas I thought we’d drink it throughout.”
Florence hands-on pasta class: make tortelli, tagliatelle and ravioli with unlimited wine and a chef-led meal in 3 hours.
“Great experience. Worth the time to do this class in Florence. Funny, knowledgeable and great chef was Andrea! He was great!”
Make tagliatelle, ravioli, and tiramisù in a small Florence class, optional Sant’Ambrogio market, with wine and dinner in English.
“This was a GREAT experience. Our chef Andrea was charming and knowledgeable. We were worried about our 8 & 10 year old but they loved it. We basically made the pasta and assisted with the sauces and the kids loved it. Our 8 year old didn't even ask for ketchup (IYKYK). The market tour and cheese tasting was great. I would highly recommend for anyone. As a chef it was an incredible experience.”
