We had a wonderful time learning how to make pasta from Arturo. He was a great teacher and had a great sense of humor. It was easy to follow along and a great time getting to know the others participating in the experience.

Itinerary
Learn to make FRESH PASTA, like our grandmothers made them in Italy. We will teach you every process and stand by you teaching you every step. Our COOKING SCHOOL is located inside a MEDIEVAL TOWER from the 1200s, a stone's throw from Brunelleschi's Dome. Where you will breathe the air and life of Dante Alighieri, father of the Italian language because the tower where we will cook belonged to his wife's family. Our team is made up of true chefs, with many years of experience in the best Italian cuisines. From FLOUR to RAGÙ, together we will make real Italian pasta from scratch as they did it in the times of the Medici family, the lords of the Renaissance. We will select the best seasonal vegetables and the best products that the Italian territory offers. WE WILL PREPARE 3 TYPES OF FRESH PASTA such as RAVIOLI, TORTELLI and PAPPARDELLE, and at the same time the Chef will also prepare sauces to match such as butter and sage, arrabbiata and old-fashioned Tuscan ragù. You will not have to bring anything with you because all the equipment will be offered by us. In the end we will eat everything we have prepared. During the experience we can drink good TUSCAN WINE or unlimited

Perfect at all en you learn a lot
Lorenzo was an amazing teacher! Very Informative and made it so much fun! He was entertaining and friendly! He made our trip to Florence unforgettable and highly recommend this experience as a must when visiting! We’ll definitely be using what Lorenzo has taught us at home!
This was a great class to learn how to make pasta. We had a fantastic instructor/chef that was helpful with everyone from the adults to the children in the class. Would absolutely take the class again just to eat the freshly made pasta at the end!
This was an amazing cooking class! We did the 10 AM time slot and only had 7 people in the class total so it felt like a private class. Francesca was a wonderful chef who made the experience so fun! You make 3 different kinds of pasta. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Best way to learn how to make pasta from scratch, nice people
very fun experience!!! worth the price quick fun activity for a rainy day in florence!!!
Bruno and Andrea fantastic!! The whole experience was brilliant!
Amazing class with Andrea on a rainy day in Florence. Delicious food and wine with great company
The class was very enjoyable. Chef David was great and our small children were able to keep up and learn a lot about pasta making.
Great experience. Our chef, David, was so knowledgeable and charming. The food we all created came out wonderful and the wine delicious. Our group loved this experience and would definitely recommend.
Excellent couple of hours with chef David. Really fun and informative. Beautiful Parpadelle!
This was a great experience, and chef Victorria was amazing! The pasta was made and ate was delicious! Thank you so much!!
Fabulous class by a Fabulous chef, thank you Antonio!! 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area!
Chef Victoria was amazing! So fun! We took the 10am class
Had a great time with our guide, such a fun experience and a great way to meet people. Also, the pasta was amazing
Great experience, probably of the best things we have done in Florence , so much fun and very informative, Chef David was fabulous
The cooking experience with David Rosati was amazing! We learned so much and it was perfect.
I did this experience in my last trip but had a different instructor. Our current instructor was an older grouchy man who was visibly getting upset at the students and taking over our pasta making experience. He was also getting upset at us drinking and laughing. This could have been a perfect activity but our instructor really put a damp on it. He also kept saying that he did not like Italy!!!! But he was Italian…he said not to comeback to Italy and go to Thailand instead. Request NOT to have the older male chef I think his name started with an M and he’s slightly bald with a ponytail
Excellent fun . Ask for the WiFi to get the recipes . We had a blast and can not wait to have our repeat party at home
Amazing experience with Victoria!
Workshop was amazing! We had a lot of fun with friends😊
It was first time cooking class in the world. We are so excited class and Arthur did not disappoint us. He is never very good bundle group and he made us laugh so much and taught us how to make pasta in such a fun and humorous way, even though it was our first time making it. Also unlimited wine was really good ! If you looking for cooking class in Florence, I highly recommend here , you never regret ✨✨
Wonderful experience, Gio is an excellent teacher and very engaging. Great wine and revioli was delicious. Only issue was that we were given the wrong address for our booking, but thankfully we were able to arrive just in time since we arrived 15 minutes early.
Excellent instruction, delicious food. Lorenzo knew the food well and explained things nicely. Lots of opportunity for questions and more food than we could finish!
This was the first thing we did and it set the tone for our trip. Chef Victoria, both entertaining and an excellent teacher. I believe I can make pasta at home and will certainly try. Her sauces were the best I have had! True talent
The pasta cooking experience was so much fun! Aurora did a wonderful job leading the large group through making three kinds of pasta. The wine flowed and we had a wonderful meal with three different types of pasta and sauce.
It was an amazing experience. We had to pay no extra fees and everything was ready and clean for us. Andrea is a great entertainer and made us laugh and enjoy the entire time, the whole 40/50 minutes. Group size was great too
Great class, we learned a lot and had lots of fun. Good location, would have liked to have had more time to enjoy the wonderful meal we provided.
This was the best experience in Firenze. We loved Arturo’s cooking class. He prepared the best ragú in town - very entertaining - we learned a lot!
Amazing experience with chef Art, first time doing something like this and the wife and I had a great experience. Thank you chef Art!
Arturo was amazing! Such a good chef and made our experience so fun! Highly recommend!
The experience was not as expected at all. Through the entire class all we made was pasta dough, ricotta filling for raviolis, then shaped pastas. Tiramisu was already made and we were told we would be sent the ingredient list and instructions on how to make it via email… but that’s what we are there for?.. All of the cooking was done by the chef. While shaping your pasta, instead of the chef verbally telling you how to fix it, they went ahead and did it for you without asking. Not to mention, there were a ton of flies all over the table, dough equipment, and ingredients themselves. Overall it was rushed, felt dirty, and not educational since the chef did everything. Very disappointing, and would definitely NOT recommend.
If you’re looking to only do 10% of the work, then this “cooking” class is for you! Not only did the guy in charge of the class smell TERRIBLE, but he had completely taken over the entire class. We were only allowed to make the dough. He made the tiramisu before the class, boiled the pasta, made the sauces, cut up the ingredients, stirred the pasta into the Parmesan wheel, told you when you could film him for something cool coming up of him cooking that you might want to get on video, etc…the ONLY perk of this place was the unlimited wine. Other than that, this place was dirty, swarming with flies and they were very rude about letting guests in on time. They made everyone wait outside the gates in the cold, and let everyone in AFTER the starting time. If I could rate this 0 stars, I would. You want to know the best part? He put a bucket out for tips at the end…I would never recommend this to anyone!
Was wonderful learned…lots of techniques and recipes share
Mia was extraordinary. You could feel her passion for the food. I could see some people struggling, and yet with her teaching, it ended up tasting incredible. Do not hesitate. Book this. Also: unlimited wine is real.
Mia was amazing. She made time to learn our names and stories. The whole experience was a special time to spend with family learning something new.
Artur was a great teacher! Food was amazing
Arthur is with no doubt the best person to lead a course like this. What a cool guy!!
Excellent experience with professional chef David. Cooked three pastas. Ravioli with parmigiana and ricotta stuffing and butter and sage sauce. Then tortellini with tomato & basil sauce & lastly pappardelle with beef ragu. Excellent wine and excellent chef.
We loved our experience! It was so fun and the food was delicious!! The Chef was funny & taught us a lot!
The Chef was phenomenal, very enthusiastic and made sure everyone felt comfortable with the process. I highly recommend this class and the food came out delicious.
This was the highlight to our trip! Lorenzo was wonderful, very interactive and a great teacher. Atmosphere was incredible unique too. I would live to get the recipes for the dishes that we made.
Lorenzo was very fun and made the experience very memorable. For a slow learner like me, the instructions to make different pasta wasn’t too hard and it was fun to do! I’m now motivated to keep making pasta from scratch haha
Awesome experience for any ability! Must do when you visit Florence! We will be making pasta at home now! Thanks Chef David!
Giovanni (GG) was excellent! Loved that guy! He made the experience EVERYTHING! Would recommend this to EVERYONE!
Lorenzo was an amazing host, helped everyone wonderfully whilst being effortlessly funny and charming. Couldn't recommend it more.
Such a fun session! Very informative, helpful, and enjoyable. Lorenzo was so much fun, and was super friendly. My partner and I had a wonderful time, and the pasta was so yummy! Couldn’t recommend the experience more :)
Great experience! Awesome way to make friends!!! Amazing pasta
My wife and I loved the cooking class! We had a very fun experience and our chef was friendly & entertaining. The setting was in a cool bricked-laden back room area and it felt like a more relaxing experience with the other folks we did the class with. We also got to eat all the pasta at the end too. Huge value for the price and we highly recommend it.
