Kathryn_M, Aug 2026

Highlight of my trip!

This whole experience was wonderful! I happened to come across a reel on instagram of this very class and decided to check it out. All the reviews raved. Alessandro was amazing! The small class size made everything personalized. The setting was like a movie. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian cooking experience this is it!

Tuscan Cooking Class

Amazing activity in beautiful Tuscany!

Katia was a fabulous host, super welcoming, friendly and talkative. We made pasta from scratch with delicious sauces, amongst other lovely dishes that you can make again at home. It was a fun way to spend a few hours and the food and wine were delicious to enjoy together at the end!

Florence: Pasta Cooking Class with Unlimited Wine

Kim_F, Aug 2026

Delizioso

This was our second pasta making class and it was just as fun and delicious. Chef G was an incredible host and he made the whole experience so interesting and fun. We made tortellini, ravioli and pappardelle! Chef G made three sauces which he cooked in front of us and told us everything that was in it. The ragú sauce was delicious. We even got the recipes! Do not miss this class!

Siena: Pasta and Tiramisu Small Group Cooking Class with Wine

VanessaMalin_L, Aug 2026

We had the most fun time...

We had the most fun time at this cooking class! The instructor Simona was incredible and very encouraging. You will make three different types of pasta, focussing on the dough since the filling and the sauces are made by the host/restaurant. Making the dough and layering the Tiramisu was very fun in a cute working space, you also receive a "chef hat" and apron which we loved. This activity is definitely not suitable for vegans since the pasta prepared will be fresh egg pasta and the fillings included cheese which could not be seperated out. However, they were very accomodating of my vegetarian diet and prepared a delicious rich vegetable ragu for me when the beef ragu was served for the other guests. The pasta and Tiramisu was delicious and definitely a highlight of the experience! Again the instructor and all the staff were wonderful and we can thoroughly recommend this experience.

Great Cooking Class and Market Visit!

Did the Pasta Lovers Cooking Class from Florence with a visit to the Sant'Ambrogio Market and had a fantastic experience. Fabio was our Chef instructor and he was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the local produce, cuisine, and cooking techniques. Highly recommend the Market visit as you get to see all the amazing local produce, meats, and cheeses. Not only did we buy fresh tomatoes, basil, and meats for cooking, we even sampled a cured meat platter! Highly recommended!!

The Italian Way: Pizza and Gelato Class with Unlimited Wine

Linda_H, Jul 2026

Tommaso instructed well

Very hands-on pizza making with good direction & patience from Tommaso. Good explanation of Italian style toppings vs US style. Gelato making was mostly demonstration as it's difficult to each make a personal batch. Both recipes will be emailed to perhaps try them at home.

A Brunello Cooking Class with Vineyards View Winery

John_M, Jul 2026

Winery cooking class

The cooking class, tour of the winery, castle and celler was amazing! One of our favorite experiences in Italy as a family. It was so much fun, even our teenage boys enjoyed. We prepared a dessert and two pasta dishes. Although I am an experienced cook, I had never made fresh pasta and it was a great introduction. We sampled some wines while cooking and were served seveal kinds on wine durring the lunch. We dined outside with the beautiful Tuscsn landscape in the background. It was a perfect way to spend thr afternoon!

Small-Group Tuscan Cooking Class with Wine & Lunch from Siena

Steve_C, Jul 2026

Highlight of our trip

One of the best highlights of our trip. Simone was welcoming and personable. His instructions were easy to follow and our final recipes were delicious. I would highly recommend this class to anyone traveling to Siena. Best ravioli with truffles and tirimisu. Can't wait to practice at home.

Cooking Class on a Family Farm in Chianti with Lunch

zoekershner, Jul 2026

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!

Michelin-Trained Chef Pasta Class in Florence

Catherine_A, Jun 2026

The Art of Cooking Pasta Ala Firenze!

This was an excellent experience, and my husband and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Firenze! Our chef was exquisite, with great attention to detail. He exhibited a lot of patience to work with our small group of pros, amateurs and even some children. We learned so much about making/cooking pasta correctly and about cooking times, different sauces to pair with various pastas, etc. He provided an awesome way to make ravioli without using fancy tools and accessories. He was so neat, and cleaned the surfaces and the pots/pans meticulously as he moved from pasta to pasta. On a personal note, he mimicked what my mother used to say: "Never use garlic in meat sauce." My mom often would present her pasta with the words: "It's a simple peasant dish but made with love." Our aprons said: "Cook with Love." Surprisingly, my own nonna's sauce was similar to the meat sauce that our chef prepared, so it was extra special for me, with so many memories of my childhood flooding back to me. We enjoyed the end results, with three different pastas and great tasting sauces. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class and spent the evening wandering the streets of Florence to work off some of the extra calories. No ill effects from this experience either!

Montepulciano: Pasta & Tiramisu Class in a Local Home by Cesarine

Keelin_C, May 2026

Wonderful cooking class experience!

This experience was way above our expectations. We joined our host Barbara in her lovely home where she was waiting for us with a prepped kitchen and a smile. She was a great teacher and provided us with lots of hands on time preparing the two pastas and tiramisu. We had a wonderful meal from our cooking paired with a delicious bottle of wine.

Venice Hands-On Bigoli Pasta Class : Cook & Taste Local Recipes

Jeff_M, Feb 2026

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.
