The Energetic Narghess

Class was in a traditional restaurant. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Our instructor was a friendly snd energetic lady named, Narghess. She showed us how to prepare tiramisu, ravioli and fettuccini from SCRATC! She carefully explained the proper way to mix the ingredients and included information about the history of the food. Narghess made the entire experience fun as well as informative. At the end we ate the meal we prepared, drinking wine during the entire evening. Many thanks to Narghess and the entire staff. It was one of our favorite excursions of our Italian vacation.

Great Experience!

We had so much fun! The instructor was very enthusiastic and welcoming. Activity was exactly as described in the description. If you have trouble following a lot of verbal instructions quickly it could be challenging, but questions seemed welcome and we walked away so glad we did it!

We started our class at...

We started our class at 2:30 pm and the place has I believe 5 different demonstration areas so can easily accommodate over 100 people. Our chef, Leonardo, was a great instructor, explaining both the techniques and reasons for them. He also explained variations between the ragu recipes in Florence and Bologna. We made 3 different types of pasta; Tortellini, ravioli and pappadelle. Our chef the cooked all the pasta types separately, so you do not get to eat your own pasta. The ravioli was served in a butter sause, the tortellini was served in a tomato sauce and the pappadelle was served with the ragu made at the first of the class. Wine was available and not regulated, so you could have as much as you liked.

From pickup at the meeting point, Alessandro driving us added an extra touch to the evening. He and Francy (Francesca), the chef, worked in sync and complemented each other’s skills. The setting in the Tuscan hills was amazing, fun, and memorable. Three groups, ten of us total — the evening was flawless. Enough time to relax, get the cooking lesson in, then sit down to eat and enjoy Negronis and wine. Thank you

Amazing Pasta Experience, Yum

We had an absolutely wonderful time with our chef and the rest of our group! The location was impeccable, and the course was very well organized and paced. Learning how to make pasta was such a lovely experience, and the hands-on approach made it even more enjoyable. I’m thrilled to say that I can now make fresh pasta for my family and friends! Ending the day with a delicious feast made the experience even more special. I’m so glad I attended this class—it was the perfect way to complete my trip!

Tagliatelle, Ravioli & Tiramisu Cooking Class with Unlimited Wine

Anita_D, Sep 2026

Great experience!

This activity was Very fun and interesting. Fabio was our chef, and he taught us very clear and concise instructions on how to make pasta, ravioli, and tiramisu at home. It is a lot easier than you would expect! Or maybe he just made it all look easy… We are excited to try it out when we get home. we would highly recommend this experience. If you are figuring out where to go on your phone… Scroll down to the part where it says the directions and open up that spot. It says something like please read… Very important. The location changes depending on which class you pick. Thankfully we left in plenty of time so we had time to walk to the correct location. It is not obvious on the cell phone. Thanks Fabio!

A Fun and Memorable Florence Cooking Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making class in Florence! The cooking space was beautiful, welcoming, and perfectly set up for a hands on experience. Our chef was incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but what made the class truly special was his engaging personality and the way he made learning both fun and approachable. His skill, enthusiasm, and interaction with everyone made this a memorable part of out time in Florence. Highly recommend!

Do this class!!

GO HERE!!! Camilla is absolutely wonderful! Only 30 minutes outside of Florence! The views are spectacular, the food is delicious, and the host family is soooo kind and friendly! The experience felt so authentic. They get all their food and produce locally, not at supermarkets. We had so much fun and the biggest the class can be is 12 people, so It felt intimate and special! You cook and eat outside on their farm overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany - you can’t beat this unique experience! They have other excursions like truffle hunting with Camilla’s son and one of their dogs! I would go back every day if I could!!! The family let the group stay well past the time It said online, just to let us enjoy the company, food and farm. I will absolutely join this wonderful family again on my next trip to Italy!

Had a great time cooking authentic Italian food

Great experience buying and making authentic Italian food. We made lasagna from scratch including the pasta layers and ragu sauce. We also made Tiramasu from scratch. Our host, Roberta, was engaging, friendly, talented and full of information. The wine flowed, samples were tasted and we were full from our wonderful creations. The morning/afternoon we spent in this class was one of the highlights of our 2 week Italy trip.

Great Afternoon Learning to Make Pasta

Great experience learning to make pasta with Sebastien. He met us nearby his apartment and we went back and learned a lot about making pasta. As a Venetian, he had interesting insights on the city and cooking. He has a beautiful redone kitchen with spectacular views of the canal which made the experience even more special. I would recommend this tour to any one interested in cooking and looking for something a little different in Venice.
