Great way to learn to make pasta!

We absolutely loved our experience and Alan was so great, funny and inspiring. The food was great. The only issue we had was with the Viator app directions. The “opening Google Maps” location wasn’t accurate and we were late.

Cooking class

This pasta and tiramisu class was a highlight of our Florence trip. Ory made everything feel welcoming, fun, and totally doable. Even with our not-so-great cooking skills, she was patient and encouraging every step of the way. She even played Justin Bieber during class, which was a hilarious and thoughtful touch since my fiancé is a huge fan. We rolled and cut our own pasta, made a rich ragù and tiramisu, then sat down to enjoy everything with plenty of wine. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt like cooking with friends. Ory's warmth, humor, and passion are what made it special. Highly recommend. Book it!
