Most cooking classes in Florence take place in modern kitchens or crowded restaurants, but with us, you'll be cooking traditional Italian recipes inside a private Florentine palace alongside a local expert. With historic floors underfoot and centuries-old frescoes above, you'll make fresh pasta and tiramisu in a setting that feels straight out of a novel. Top it off with unlimited Tuscan wine during the meal, and this is by far the best (and most fun!) way to learn Italian cooking.
Great cooking experience in an old palace turned into restaurant. Learned to make tortellini, gnocchi, and tagliatellie. Best part was making new friends and drinking unlimited wine while eating our delicious creation.
Definitely worth getting up before dawn. The ride was smooth and landing upright. I would do it again.
Our family enjoyed our experience making pastas and tiramisu with Mirco. Beautiful historic palazzo and great ambiance learning from a master chef Mirco. Very well taught then sat down and enjoyed dining with our self made pastas and tiramisu. It was FANTASTICO!!
We were greeted with a glass of white wine. We toured the beautiful old Roman building and went downstairs to cook with chef Michael. We made 3 different types of pasta. Then we went back upstairs to the restaurant and chef Michael made the sauces that went with the pasta. It was delicious!
Come hungry ... great time! Went with 3 kids and all had a really good time, hosts were fantastic and kept everyone engaged.
Great location and quality of ingredients and wine, a friendly chef to learn real Tuscany food preparation
A hands-on cooking class that perfectly combined fun and learning, all in a stunning palace setting. Highly recommended to all people that love pasta.
This was SO much fun!!! This is exactly the experience I want when I go to a city and country known for it's wonderful food. I will definitely be taking those recipes home and doing it myself. Italian food = the best!!!
One of the best experiences we had in Florence. The setting is beautiful, but what really makes this class stand out is that it’s led by a real chef, not just a “local expert.” You can really feel the difference in the way everything is explained and taught. The class is hands-on, fun, and authentic. We left excited to try these recipes back home and can’t wait to cook them for friends and leave them speechless. Thank you Thomas, for being so patient with my endless questions 😅 Highly recommended!
Under the guidance of a true local expert, we learned the art of making fresh pasta and tiramisu with techniques passed down through generations. But the real magic was the setting itself. Kneading dough under historic frescoes and dining at a grand table on centuries-old floors transported us to another era.
What a great experience! This was an amazing cooking class in Florence and our family had the best time. In this class you get to learn how to make handmade paste in an incredibly historic and beautiful building in the middle of florence. I couldn't recommend The Tour Guy any more as this was the highlight of our trip!
