We really enjoyed this class and Francesco was a very good teacher. There was only one other couple in the class which made it very relaxing and enjoyable. The best part was eating the pasta we made.
Giacomo was an amazing teacher and provided such a memorable experience! From the ingredients to the knowledge provided, this class was well-worth the time and money.
What an amazing evening! The experience of learing to make pasta in Italy with other people from all over was truely a one of a kind evening. The staff was friendly, engaging and encouraging to those of us who were non-cooks. After we made the pasta, we all sat down at a big long table to enjoy our meal with the new friends we had made while preparing the food. One of the best things we did on our 2 week trip.
We did the gelato and pizza making class with Luca. He was fantastic as was the pizza and gelato. We was a great teacher. Highly recommend.
This was a fabulous experience from the moment you arrived through cooking through waiting for the dinner to be finished to gathering at the table with all the people and sharing a wonderful meal of what we all cooked together. It was amazing. It was so good. I highly recommend it!!
What a wonderful experience! Very hands on and so much fun!
Excellent hands on experience. Gorgeous facility. Francesco, our Chef, was so friendly and helpful. We made and ate one of our best meals in Italy.
My husband and I had a wonderful cooking experience with Mama Florence! I bought a pasta maker as soon as we got home! So good, Hope we can recreate! Thank you!
Loved everything! Amazing to be with chef Luca, milo and yenna! Worthwhile experience while in Florence and extraordinary food!
This was the best and most informative cooking class I've experienced across Italy. I've always thought of myself as a great cook but this!! Really amazing 👏
It was a truly wonderful experience all around. Chef Stefano was friendly, patient, kind and very engaging! I would recommend this to anyone!
Dear MaMa Florence team, if I would say it in one word, I would use "fabulous". I rarely grade my experience with 9's or 10's but cooking with Cheff Erica was as close to that grade as possible. Cheff Erica prepared a great cooking plan, that allowed me to be 100% involved. Even I am (as an ex. military) used to hear "hard critique" she kept calm all the time and never shout at me :). Her tuttoring in making pasta, ragu, pancanella salad, tiramisu... even made cooking look easy :) and Cheff Erica's advice about gluten-free pasta helped me in successfull meal bach home... The experience I had even made me thinking in returning to Florence, have some more clasess in Italian/Tuscany cusine or even search for some longer-term cooking experience. THANK YOU CHEFF ERICA. Thank you MaMa Florence team. Wish you all the success in your future work. Ales
Really fun experience. Chef was smart, passionate, and kind. Food was delicious. He got everyone involved and kept it light
We enjoyed the Mama Florence Corzetti cooking class. There were 6 people in this class. We made wonderful food and were stuffed when the class was over.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class on our honeymoon. The chef was fantastic and we learned how to make two different pastas from scratch with one other couple. The location was a little difficult to find so be sure to have clear directions. We would definitely do it again and will be trying these recipes at home!
We had such a fun time cooking delicious pasta with Louisa. She was kind, patient, and most importantly fun. We went as a family (my daughters are 21 and 17) and had a blast. We also met some wonderful new friends Don Georgia and Florida who were with us taking the class. We highly recommend this fun family experience!
Chef Roberto and Lisa were amazing!! We were running late and they could have turned us away per their policy but they didn’t. Instead, they went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t miss anything. I went with my 8 yr old daughter and she had a blast and wants to go back. The food is delicious and such a warm and welcoming environment. The instruction itself was fantastic. My daughter said she had a blast with both of them but wanted to send a shout out to Lisa!! Thank you both so much!!
I had the most amazing experience in this class. Roberto was an amazing teacher, knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The space is inviting and bright.
I had a school group of 33 students attended Mama Florence for an evening session. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but with in moments the group leaders had the kids divided into groups and was starting the instructional part of the event. Kids were divided into four groups, for a cooking competition! The kids got super into the event, working in a team format and using their recently acquired skills. At the end a group was crowned winner based on quality and presentation. Afterwards the group enjoyed the meal, which was incredible. The staff was first rate from presentation to assisting the students. I highly recommended this activity and business to anyone, regardless of cooking background.
This was the best experience ever! Louisa guided us thru the pasta making class, made it fun and everything was delicious. We checked off a bucket list item and loved every minute!
Chef Filippo was amazing showing us how to make these gems. We had a wonderful time eating them afterward!
Our Mama Florence evening was so enjoyable. Filippo is obviously passionate about food and cooking and he's a great teacher as well. We got a good amount of valuable hands-on experience making two kinds of pasta as well as tortelli filling, and when Filippo took over to make other parts of the meal he described each step of the process so it was still informative. The support staff was friendly and seemed very efficient. The finished meal was delicious from start to finish and we enjoyed walking back over the river with some new friends. Thank you Mama Florence and Filippo!
I attended a fresh pasta course in Florence and it was a simply extraordinary experience! From the first moment we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism, in an authentic and attention to detail, in the heart of the city. The chef, passionate and well prepared, guided us step by step in the preparation of real fresh Italian pasta explaining techniques, secrets and curiosities about the Tuscan tradition. Each explanation was clear and engaging, perfect for both beginners and those who already have some cooking experience. The best part? Put literally “hands in the dough” and then taste together the result of our work, accompanied by excellent local wine. A convivial, fun and authentic moment, which made me feel part of Italian culture. I recommend this course to anyone visiting Florence and wanting to live a real experience, far from the usual
Great experience. Stefano, the chef, very helpful, easygoing and professional. We spent a fantastic afternoon in company and I think it is very useful for those who have to approach Italian cuisine. Despite not having much experience in the cooking industry, I enjoyed and learned. Very useful and nice idea to leave the recipes of what we cook together during the course: I will try to cook everything independently at home. I recommend this experience to everyone!
