Absolutely phenomenal class. Fun staff, great pacing, quality ingredients. Pasta and tiramisu were world class - even when made by us amateurs!

Amazing experience!!! So much fun and nice recipes to bring back home !! Can’t wait to make pasta and tiramisu homemade!!!
Best thing we attended. So much fun. Made friends with other people at the table and we all went out afterwards. The Chef, Rafael, was the absolute best. He made the class fun. Learned so much in such a short time. Definitely recommend anyone visiting Florence go to the cooking class!!!!
Great experience! It was fun, the food was great, and fun to meet others while on vacation. Would absolutely do again! The chef also gave us dinner recommendations that was one of our best meals out to eat!
Such a fun night for our family of 4! Lots of laughing, wine, and of course we learned how to make ravioli, fettuccine, and tiramisu - all delicious! Our instructor/head chef Merve was wonderful & very helpful throughout the experience. We laughed a lot, so much fun, and highly recommend booking this experience!
So much fun. Sam was adorable! So many people from all over the world made for interesting conversations.
This class was great fun! Rafa, our chef, was both knowledgeable and charismatic. We enjoyed making the food and loved eating it!
Such a fun experience! Chef in charge was very encouraging and entertaining. Food was fabulous and plenty of wine. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home, highly recommend!
This was absolutely the best! So much fun, so much delicious pasta and tiramisu. Sam, our fearless leader was fantastic at teaching us, making it fun and engaging all the participants. By the time we finished up, we were all friends! If you’re looking for a cooking class in Florence, this is your place!
Such a fantastic and fun evening! Loved learning to make authentic Tuscan pasta and tiramisu. We've already recreated these recipes at home with great success. Our thanks to your team!
We loved this cooking class. Definitely a fun experience to do and not in the chaos and touristy part of Florence. Felt more authentic than some of the busier areas. Rafael was very funny.
Had a great time and met some lovely people. Sam was friendly, entertaining, and knowledgeable. A fun way to spend an evening.
We had such a great time at this pasta and tiramisu cooking class in Florence! The instructor had a wonderful sense of humor and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. We were traveling with our two teenagers, and I was so happy that both of them genuinely enjoyed the class too. The pasta we made was absolutely delicious, and the wine was great—especially with the unlimited pours! One thing we really appreciated was how accommodating they were with my daughter’s nut allergy. They took her food allergy seriously and made sure she could safely enjoy the experience along with everyone else. We had so much fun learning how to make the pasta that we even decided to buy a pasta guitar so we can try making it ourselves when we get home to the USA! This was a fun, delicious, and memorable experience for our whole family. I would definitely recommend this class, especially for families traveling with teens!
Such a fun class and a wonderful addition to our vacation! The chef was engaging, knowledgeable, and made each recipe easy to understand and follow. We had a fantastic experience and thoroughly enjoyed the class. Highly recommend!
This experience was absolutely fantastic!! We made delicious food, following an expert who was informative and entertaining. And the food tasted divine!! Wine provided while we created! And the aprons were certainly memorable!! I would book this experience again if I make it back to Florence one year (and I really hope I do!!)
The best authentic hands on activity we experienced during our time in Italy. Learning to make homemade pasta, ravioli and tiramisu step by step. My 6 year old daughter had fun with the mixing and rolling and was kept entertained throughout the evening. Thanks to Mer, our instructor for adding the pink/red flour that created an extra excitement for my daughter. Wonderful hosts who taught recipes and history of the area. The activity ended eating what we made and it was delicious.
My Wife and I went for our 23rd anniversary while in Florence. Didn't know what to really expect, but we had an amazing time. Learned to make pasta a couple of ways and to make Tiramisu. Met a couple of other couples and families from around the world. Drank wine, ate our food, talked with other classmates. Very enjoyable evening. Completely exceeded our expectations.
Amazing experience!!! The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made every step easy to follow, even for beginners. We learned how to make two different types of fresh pasta from scratch using authentic techniques, and the results were absolutely delicious.
The experience is super affordable but the food did not taste the best. Just pasta with sauce. The instructor Samantha was incredible very knowledgeable and kept the entire class engaged
This was such a fun experience. We loved our aprons and making the pasta. The only thing I would mention is that this experience was a little longer than advertised, the 2 1/2 hours was more like 3 1/2 so we needed to rush out at the end to go to another tour we had booked. Overall though, so much fun!
We really enjoyed this experience! So much fun making pasta, drinking wine and dessert! We learned a lot, laughed a lot and ate a lot!! So fun!!
This was very fun, informative and just overall a good atmosphere! We learned a lot while really enjoying the process!
We loved this experience- Sam (Samantha) was awesome - friendly, knowledgeable, funny and warm. We had a great time making pasta, learning about traditions and then eating it all afterwards. We took two teens who also loved the experience (but didn’t get to enjoy all the unlimited wine!). Great family activity to do in Florence. Great value for money
This is easily one of the top experiences we did on our vacation! Sam was wonderful and taught us so much! We have two kids, aged 10 and 15 and they both thoroughly enjoyed it as well. She included them and there were zero issues staying on pace with the rest of the class. Wine was refreshing with all of this heat! Orange juice and water was provided for the kids. We learned about the history and culture of Italy and their food as well. Definitely recommend!
Super fun and friendly environment, lots of laughs. Pasta and sauces tasted great! Sam and Rafa were fantastic!
The cooking class is so good! But on one condition: don't add watery pasta to the sauce or the taste won't be good.
This was a great class. Samantha was the best. Food was delicious. Highly recommended this class for all
We had a fantastic time. This was top notch! I would highly recommend this to anyone. The hosts were excellent.
We attended this cooking experience with our teenagers. It was fantastic! Lots of information about the food and Italian culture.
An amazing experience with Sam the messenger (chef) We had a hands on experience with great food and plentiful wine Highly recommend
Amazing! A ton of fun a great counter experience to historical sites gave us a chance to all be together learn something not just cooking but also about Life!
Excellent experience, would have paid this much for lunch! Sam was fantastic, the pasta was amazing and it was great to meet other people travelling around Italy. Also had heaps of wine ☺️
Highly recommend - a must do experience in Florence. Our chef was very knowledgeable and helpful. The wine flowed and the pasta at the end was delicious. The tiramisu was also one of the best I’ve ever had.
This was perfect. The chef, Rafa, was great. His knowledge and storytelling really pushed this experience to a whole new level. We were a group of 6, booked one day before. Everyone there were great, really nice and helpful. The place is really cute and tidy and clean. Everything was explained in such a fun and easy way. The wine was very good, and we had a lot of fun. One of the best experiences you can have, and learn something, and have fun, and meet new people!
Inexpensive way to spend some time learning the culture and a great meal at the end. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Informative and fun experience. Learned to make two types of pasta and tiramisu. Everyone was encouraged and assisted as needed. Food was then cooked and served with participants only eating what they made.
This ws. Great early evening activity. Our instructor was entertaining and helpful. Had some great family stories. And our food tasted great. He had a good way of ensuring that the pasta you made was the serving that you got back so don’t worry about intermingling pasta. Tiramisu was delicious.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! SAM (our chef & instructor) was fantastic!!! She was hilarious too. The Food was beyond delicious. She taught us so much and truly helped us make phenomenal pasta. This is the BEST tiramisu I have EVER had. Everyone needs to do this class when visiting Florence. This is the best cooking class I have ever been to. They were so gracious and welcoming.
We did the pasta and tiramisu making class with Sam. She was great! She’s a local from Pisa now residing in Florence, and spoke fluent English. She had a great sense of humor and kept the class lively. Our class was for 5pm but a couple was running late, and with everyone in the class’s permission, we began around 5:30pm. We had such a relaxed and fun time that we ended around 9pm! We made pappardelle noodles and ravioli from scratch, with your party’s food being cooked together and not with everyone in the class which is nice and sanitary. The pasta and sauces were yummy and the wine was great! There were red and white decanters on the table that we filled as we pleased. Sam made the tiramisu with our help with whipping the ingredients. We learned some tips for rolling our pasta (Nonna style!) and how authentic tiramisu differs from commercial tiramisu most of us were used to. Overall, it was a fun class to experience local pasta.
We had a great time. We had our 3.5 year old daughter. She loved it and the chef and staff were so helpful and patient with her. The instructions themselves were very helpful and the food was great! Great entry level cooking class.
Great fun! Knowledgeable staff and delicious food. We learned a lot! Great value for money, too! We all loved!
I booked this against my partners wishes as he thought it was a waste of an evening as we can do cooking classes at home, but one of his favourite experiences. The chef was amazing, the food one of the best pastas we had and the wine was wonderful!!
Millie is a wonderful chef! We enjoyed hearing her Nona’s cooking secrets. Making the food brought back good memories, and the food tasted delicious. It was a fun experience! Highly recommended.
Great night great food!. The class was extremely well run and it was a perfect night . Thank you for a great night!
Absolutely fab time with Kevin!! He was so thorough throughout and really helpful. So knowledgeable about Italian Cuisine, things we never knew! I attended with 4 friends and we all had a brilliant time, I would truly recommend this experience!
The experience was so much fun - our instructor Samantha was amazing. She was so knowledgeable with the history of the different kinds of pasta, sauces etc. The business is owned by three brothers - they really know how to create an experience that not only shows us how to prepare some delicious meals but we also got to enjoy it with wine. Next time I come to Florence, I’ll definitely book another cooking lesson. The price was also budget friendly.
Merve was awesome! Our food was delicious and we learned so much! Our family enjoyed very much!!!!!!
Super fun atmosphere. Great chef teacher, enjoyed tasty pasta we made and wine was plentiful. Tiramisu was delightful.
Amazing value for money, highly recommended and great experience. A must try when in Florence, the win was great quality too
Absolutely incredible cooking class that went above and beyond what it said it would do! Fun, informative and we now know exactly what goes into making Italian pasta and tiramisu. Highlight of our trip!
