Master The Art Of Florentine Steak: A Unique Cooking Experience!

Excellent cooking class with a very experienced chef! The class can take 8 people maximum, but my husband and I were the only participants this evening. We learned so much! There was so many delicious side dishes that we made with vegetables in season and simple ingredients to accompany the steak. Truly great value for money and more than what is written in the course description. We can absolutely recommend this course!

This fine dining experience exceeded all expectations. Chef Leonardo started the morning with a walking tour through a market where we chose our fresh ingredients for lunch, including a visit to a butcher to cut our steak. Plenty of wine flowed as we cooked a delicious Tuscan lunch and had our best day so far in Florence.

What an incredible way to end our stay in Florence! Guio was an incredible teacher and not only taught us about steak but all types of cooking. He was up beat, well spoken and kept the vibes up all night. He did great explaining but not over explaining and also answered any questions the group had. He made our last night in Florence great and one of if not the best steak dinner I ever had. He also recommended a great Gelato spot for our walk home (Eduordo’s) and he was spot on with it! Thank you again!

We are blown away by how much we learned and did in this class!! Absolutely fabulous! I am a home cook and know a lot about cooking, but still learned so much about cooking all the sides and, of course, the steak. We owe this exceptional experience to our teacher, Guillaume (?), ‘Gui’. He was fun, patient and obviously a very skilled ‘Cicciaio’. I highly recommend this class and ask for Gui as the teacher.

It is well worth the money. The chef Al was fun, engaging and helped cook e phenomenal meal. Highly recommend

Ale was absolutely wonderful. the whole expierence was a dream. from the market, to the cooking and then finishing with eating. I highly recommend this class!

Leonardo was a fantastic teacher. He guided us every step of the way. The small class size is perfect. He was fun, engaging and informative.

Alain was an excellent guide, and our group loved our experience! He went above and beyond our expectations, organizing a balsamic vinegar tasting with a local vendor at the market, and we had authentic Italian breakfast of prosciutto and bread. He was a joy to cook with and we learned so much about Italian cuisine. The meal was delicious, and we were all very full and satisfied afterwards. Thanks, Alain!

Chef Alain was fantastic and the food was amazing. Great experience that will never be forgotten!

A great experience. Not just the cooking but learning about the culture and history behind the food we prepared. Our chef/instructor Al was amazing; entertaining and knowledgeable.

This was an amazing class! The chef was wonderful and food was amazing! I would recommend this. Had a great time!

Wonderful host and amazing food. Alain was so knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience. Can’t wait to demonstrate my new skills when I next have friends over for dinner.

5-Star Experience Fantastic pizza and gelato making class! 🍕🍨 So much fun, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. Tommaso was amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! I will certainly take my new skills back to Scotland ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was a great experience. Chef Gui took his time and made us feel at ease. He explained everything we were doing and even gave us some great cooking tips. The food was plentiful and we took the leftovers with us. The completion certificate and Masala were a nice touch. A definite must do!!

Leonardo was fantastic. Great energy and we learnt a lot. Enjoyed picking food from the market and the food was amazing especially the plum and onion dish - what a nice surprise. Steak was incredible. Finally I know how to cook a steak perfectly. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

Fabio was the best! We made the most amazing pizza and gelato !

Amazing cooking class with Allan. He explained everything and had great stories to share. We are definitely recommending him to family and friends.

Leonardo excellent! Too much food so bring large appetite .

Amazing! Gui was great, learned so much and the steak was huge!

GUI was great! Fun, delicious and entertaining!

Super fun experience! Visit to market was worth booking on a market day! We learned a lot and had some great food and lots of wine!

We had such a great time at this cooking class. Lots of laughs, lots of wine, amazing food, and really fun people. We made some incredible dishes and memories. Chef Gui made the whole experience even better with his energy, humor, and guidance. Highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience with Alain, preparour meal. We went to the market to choose vegetables, and then began cooking. Alain gave us many tips and his humor added a lot to his time with us. We highly recommend the MasterSteak class. One of us has a lactose intolerance and he worked with that as well.

Alain was an amazing chef and guide! We had a great time going to the market and cooking a huge meal. We were in a group of 8 people, 3 other couples. He divvied up the work in a really fun way and gave us so many great cooking tips as well as great Italian history. I highly recommend the steak experience!

Intuitive chef - a rich learning experience, very well managed!!! Suitably interactive, a calm environment, excellent ingredients and a truly memorable shared experience.

The chef was amazing!! Very kind, knowledgeable and empowering. He had such passion for his craft. I would recommend this over any restaurant. It was the best cooking class hands down I have ever had!

Alain was fun and explained everything. Answered our questions as we prepared a feast. It was my first cooking class and turned into a great experience.

We had such a great time. This was our third class here and it was so much fun to hang out with the other instructors along with making new friends. Gui our Chef / instructor is fantastic. We were fortune enough to meet him during one of our classes with Linda. Just talking with him is what convinced us to register for this class. The market walk was so enjoyable. Visiting with vendors and just learning the many things we miss in a busy life. The kitchen was setup very functional and we all had plenty of room to work as we completed our assigned tasks. Cooking of the steak was and talking with Gui was very insightful as to grilling meats in US vs IT and Brazil. Hands down this school is top notch. All of the instructors are genuinely fantastic folks. I recommend these courses and hope that you have the same expernces we had. We are planning the pasta master class and bike tour in the fall when we return.

This was the most amazing experience! Can’t recommend this enough. Gui was the greatest host, teacher and chef! The steak and side dishes were superb. The Florentine Steak cooking class was very informative and so much fun! If you’re visiting Florence, you should add this as a “must do” activity.

Gui-was fantastic, so patient and fun!! We had port house steaks and tons of veggies!! What a wonderful experience!!! Delicious!!

We did the steak class with Gui! It was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience! It was entertaining and delicious!

We had the cooking experience of a lifetime with Chef Alain. We picked out all fresh local ingredients from the market a couple doors down. Then we prepared and learned the best and simplest ways to make several dishes including cooking our beautiful steak over an open flame. Once finished we talked and enjoyed our meal. Chef Alain is a master of his craft, a great storyteller and teacher, and just a pretty amazing human being. I can’t recommend this more, truly an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

100/100 fantastic experience! Thought we were going to just learn to cook the steak, but we ended up learning a full course from bruchetta and tomatoes, to grilled eggplants, onions, salad!! And of course the star of the show, the Florentine steak was made with a choice cut of Limousine beef, which was so much more tender that the 2 other Florentines we had eaten the last few days. It felt like a mix of ribeye with sirloin. Seriously the best steak we’ve had. We made cantuccini from scratch as well with our choice of toppings - also the best cantuccini i’ve eaten! Chef Gui Baran was amazing as a host. He allowed us to grab some items from the market, and gave us tips and guides along the way! Do make this your FIRST stop in Florence, and he will have recommendations for u thereafter that you wont want to miss Great experience well worth every penny! Highly recommend

Cooking with Chef Gui was a fantastic experience. We learned so much from him as we prepped different dishes, drank some amazing wine and cooked our Florentine steaks. Everything was so delicious and his storytelling made it such a fun and relaxed evening.

My dad and I took the steak masterclass with Gui and it was amazing. The food was delicious and it was loads of fun.

Master Steak Experience Was Amazing

Great experience Very informative and educational Alin was very funny and made learning enjoyable Highly recommend

We had a wonderful time with our chefs GUI and Leonardo today and all the staff during our master steak class First we went to the market then we cooked. We learned, exchanged a lot and had delicious food. The concept is outstanding and the people too. Go for it! 🙏👍

This experience was amazing. Learning how to cook and drinking wine. All of the instructors are so fun and knowledgeable. I think this experience is a must. For the cost, it is unbelievable.

Chef Gui is AMAZING! Loved him so much from our pasta lovers class, we requested him again for the master steak class. We had an absolute blast with him and Linda as we shopped and grilled. He taught us so many great tricks for cooking steak and veggies. Thank you so much for the laughs and delicious food!

What an amazing experience! There were just three of us, so we had ample opportunity to engage with each other and the cooking. Our chef was kind and instructive, teaching us not only about steak - all about controlling the heat - but about Italian yeast, biscotti, bruschetta, a flat bread, grilled vegetables, rosemary-roasted potatoes and even 5-minute mayonnaise. We feasted on our labors with decent wine. Highly, highly recommended.

Truly a fun an incredible activity. My husband and I were the only two so it turned into a private class. Guilia was phenomenal, patient and an excellent teacher ! We drank, cooked, laughed and learned. Thank you again.

Nicoll was amazing. The food was amazing. The space was amazing. Highly recommend this tour. I thought I hated eggplant - turns out I love it!

We did the master steak class and had a wonderful time. We learned some new cooking skills and had an excellent meal. Highly recommend this experience

This was an EXCELLENT tour/event. I would 1000% recommend that you do it! Was SO much fun, easy to do, great experience, small group (us and one other couple), and the food was AMAZING! For what we received food/drink wise, this was 100% a power buy! I was hesitant due to the $$$ and the lack of reviews but BUY, BUY, BUY this tour and do it! You will not regret it! Out of ALL the tours we did in the 2 weeks in Italy, this was BY FAR my favorite and SOOOOO much fun!

Alan (Alin) was amazing! We learned and ate well. Excellent explanations and a lot of fun. Food was delicious and so fresh! Portions were generous!

A wonderful day with Chef Alian and Manager Matthew. We cooked and shared fabulous roasted peppers, grilled eggplant and zucchini, mushrooms, prepared brunette and made and baked biscotti. Of course, the fabulous Florentine Steak was outstanding!

Five ladies traveling together, had the most wonderful time. Our instructor, Alan, was informative, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you, Alan!

Hands down a Wonderful experience. Nickolo was a fantastic guide through this culinary journey. From shopping at the local market to preparing the dinner and the socializing it was amazing. Would do it again.
