Super fun family experience

One of our favorite things we did in Florence! Such a fun experience for our entire family. Everyone was so kind to the kids and helpful. I can’t wait to go home and recreate these recipes. The food we made was absolutely delicious! Great experience for my 3 year old up to my 18 year old!

Pasta!!!

A must do in Italy! I loved going to the market with Gui, our chef, and seeing how he chooses his ingredients for our class. He explained the local food, introduced us to vendors and we sampled meats and cheeses. He pointed out things to do & see as we walked from the restaurant to the market and back. The class was fun and he explained very well how to make the ravioli, fettuccine and tiramisu that we made. Lunch was delicious! Highly recommend!
