Pasta Cooking Class: Mastering Nonna's Recipes

Chris_P, May 2026

Outstanding Experience

This pasta making experience was really fun and very informative for the novices in our family as well as the more experienced cooks. Andrea is an outstanding chef, patient, efficient and articulate. The pasta we made was delicious and something we could recreate at home. We all enjoyed making the three different styles with the different sauces. The wine was also wonderful. It is well worth your time.

Buon Appetito thanks to Tovia!

We were initially confused about where to go, but once we arrived it was a phenomenal experience. Tovia (host) was entertaining, informative, and just fun to interact with. The pizza and gelato instructions were clear and easy to implement. My husband and I did the class on our last day in Italy, and it was a wonderful way to end our vacation. I'm looking forward to implementing Tovia's instructions for making authentic Italian gelato at home and making pizza for friends and family.

Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with optional Local Market Tour

Scott_I, May 2026

A great cooking class

This was a great experience! We got to make individual pasta, ravioli, and tiramisu. We also learned about making the sauces and was taught by a very experience instructor. Each person had their own work station and learned how to mix the flour and egg to make the pasta and ravioli. The instructor was Gulia and she kept the session fun. Everyone had a fun time making the food and then eating it. Time flew by quickly because we were having so much fun. I highly recommend taking this cooking class.

The experience was so...

The experience was so much fun - our instructor Samantha was amazing. She was so knowledgeable with the history of the different kinds of pasta, sauces etc. The business is owned by three brothers - they really know how to create an experience that not only shows us how to prepare some delicious meals but we also got to enjoy it with wine. Next time I come to Florence, I’ll definitely book another cooking lesson. The price was also budget friendly.

Learning how to cook pasta the fun way!

What an awesome experience! Truly one of the best parts of our Italian vacation! Chef Antonio spoke perfect English, he was extremely patient, helpful to everyone in the class and a great teacher with a good sense of humor - if there is a way to request a class with him, make it happen! We learned a tremendous amount about how to make pasta - 3 types - in such a short period of time. Eating the groups food and drinking wine was a blast thanks to chef Antonio! Love it!

Florence Cooking Class in a Gorgeous Countryside Home with Maria

Lisa_L, Apr 2026

Highlight of our trip to Florence

Our cooking class with Maria was the highlight of our trip to Florence! Her home in the Tuscan countryside is beautiful and it was lovely to see the landscape outside of the city. Maria is warm and welcoming and one feels immediately at home. The cooking class prep is informative and fun. The meal shared with our host was not only tasty but felt as if we were friends around a table spending a memorable afternoon together. This excursion is highly recommended!

Florence: Fresh Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class +Lots of Good Wine

Carolyn_W, Apr 2026

I made the best meal in Italy!

As an avid hand washer, I was a little nervous about how this would end up while cooking as a group. I was so excited when the cooked pasta that I ate liked exactly like the wonky pasta that I sent to the kitchen to cook! They gathered each groups pasta individually and knew whose was what. Amazing! I’ve tried to make pasta before by myself from a recipe. It did not go well. This time, the pasta was very yummy. Sam was our chef, she was very helpful and funny and made this class a wonderful experience. Everyone who worked within this class were very helpful and nice. They like food and want to make sure that you know how to cook it! As the class progresses, we each got a little personal attention to help prefect our doughs. Plenty of wine and water and juice to go around to give you confidence and keep you hydrated while kneading the dough. Highly recommend this class for sure! We had younger kids and older people and everyone in between. All seemed to enjoy the class and their food at the end. It was worth the time in a city that has so much to do.

Nonna's Cooking Class & Market Tour with Wine, Lasagna & Tiramisù

Liz_T, Mar 2026

Cooking Italian w/Alice is fabulouso!

This was a fabulous experience! Alice, who led the cooking class and took us to the local market, was wonderful! Super personable and an educated/accredited chef herself, she provided our small group (5) with plenty of cooking tips as well as history of certain foods in Italy. The market tour was super and we got to taste various eevo’s, balsamic, truffle products, pistachio cream and more. Loved learning how to make a lasagna that doesn’t collapse once cutting into it after it’s done in the oven as well as tiramisu from scratch. I highly recommend this program and Alice!!
