Best Cooking Class Around

This was one of my favorite parts of our trip to Florence. The food we made was some of the best food that I had in Italy, and now I have the recipes to make at home!

Do not miss this tour!!

This was way better than advertised! From the great AC bus from train station to the cooking location in the hills to the amazing Nona- Alessia and Chris were great!!! We were the only family with a child (age 12) and they were so great with her. The food? Wow pasta and Gelato we cooked and ate it all! Two kinds of pasta plus probably 15 kinds of gelato! The mint was my favorite-Strawberry my daughters and my husband’s the fig! After the class we did the extended tour with a winery and tasting which was also amazing! The lady in charge of that tour Geneve was so kind and just sweet as pie! If you have the time (it was 10 hours) you must do this tour and you will not regret it!! Thank you all so much you were a highlight!

Amazing!

My partner and I had a wonderful experience at the pasta making class. I booked it for his birthday and it definitely did not disappoint. Our group was also very small with just one other family who were very lovely. I know this situation isn’t guaranteed but was ideal for us! Alessia and Beatrice were wonderful and very educated. We actually learned quite a lot! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering it. We also did the wine tour afterwards, which was also really nice but very hot so bring a fan! The wine tasting itself is in the wine cellar with air-conditioning. Thank you again ☺️

Pasta/Gelato/Wine Tasting

Pasta/Gelato making was terrific. Latisia, Carmela and Gloria were a great team. Katie’s did a great job demonstrating pasta making and the entire team was hands on and very helpful. Gloria did a great job explaining the gelato making process. The two pastas/sauces we made came out exceptional. The wine tasting was a lot of fun and the host was very knowledgeable. The only downside was the tour guide Sara who led the wine tasting portion of the tour. The meeting point wasn’t the same as the ending point as buses aren’t allowed at the Maria Novella train station. Sara just left us at the bus terminal without any direction on how to get back to the train station. We got turned around and took a lot longer to get back! Would have rated this a 3 because of the experience with Sara, but didn’t think it was fair to penalize the pasta/gelato making team.

Amazing food and...

Amazing food and experience would highly recommend. The team were very helpful from picking us up to teaching us how to make Italian food and gelato.
