Perfect Cooking Class for Everyone

Junou_O, May 2026

Niccolo was amazing and super funny! He was very knowledgeable about the food and shared some wonderful stories about his experience in Florence and running the cooking class. I booked this experience for my honeymoon. Luckily, we were the only ones there which made the class more intimate and gave us more opportunities to interact with Niccolo and ensure the dishes turned out wonderfully. Couldn’t image a more perfect way to start our time in Florence! Also, between the two types of pastas, drinks, and dessert, we were stuffed! Most importantly, I would describe Niccolo like a character straight out of Netflix Italian rom-com (we told him the same and he laughed). I would highly recommend booking this class as a group, couple or individual. You will not regret it. When we go back to Florence, I will definitely be booking again.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience was so special, especially as part of your honeymoon. It’s great to know the class felt intimate and engaging, and that you enjoyed both the atmosphere and the delicious dishes. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back in Florence!

Well worth doing!

Great time making two different pasta dishes and a tiramisu. Nicollo was a fantastic teacher and host, taking us through making pasta the way his grandmother did! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a great time making two different pasta dishes and tiramisu. It’s especially lovely to know that Niccolò made the experience so memorable — sharing traditional techniques, just like his grandmother used to do, is exactly the authentic touch we hope our guests will enjoy. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another delicious experience in Italy soon!

Best pasta meal

Stephen_L, Feb 2026

There was only the 2 of us in this class and we spent a wonderful evening cooking with Niccolo. What a nice and smart young man with excellent cooking skills. Learned how to make spagetti and ravioli and Tiramisu from scratch in a cozy and clean kitchen. He used very good ingredients as well. At first, I thought he was British because he spoke English so well. We were served proseco and Niccolo made us a delicious Aperol spritz and it was the best pasta meal we’d had in Florence and Rome! Simple but so well cooked and flavorful. We enjoyed Niccolo so much, next trip, we will join him for his pizza making class.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your lovely review. We are truly happy to hear you had such a wonderful cooking experience with Niccolò. His passion, skills, and attention to quality ingredients are exactly what we strive to offer. We are delighted the class became such a memorable evening and look forward to welcoming you again for the pizza class.

Of the 3 cooking classes...

WingLeung_C, Oct 2025

Of the 3 cooking classes that I did on this trip in Florence, this was the best by far. The pace was just right (neither too fast nor too slow). Both the chef (Alessandro) and the host (Nicolo?) were very patient, explaining things along the way, and answered many questions. There was also a bit of light hearted goofing around too. We made spaghetti, ravioli, and tiramisu, all of which came out fabulous. I had already recommended this to other travellers I subsequently encountered and will do this again, if I had the chance.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that our cooking class stood out among your Florence experiences. Alessandro and Niccolò will be delighted to know you appreciated their patience and fun spirit. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed making spaghetti, ravioli, and tiramisu—and that you’ve already recommended us to other travelers! We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another delicious adventure.
