This was a wonderful cooking class and Chef Francesco was awesome! He made the class fun and taught us many tips and tricks. The class was easy to follow and sharing our meal at the end with all the classmates was wonderful. Chef Francesco speaks many languages so all students participated 100% and no one felt left out. Highly recommend this class.

Really fun and nice chance to meet
fellow travelers. Francesco, Stefano and their crew were very fun and helpful.
A well run ship and a very delicious meal!
The instructor was great but the conditions were not the best. The bathroom was awful and dirty. The chicken didn’t go with the rest of the meal. It wasn’t authentic Italian like the pasta that was done. The best was the people we had in our group.
Food was delicious. Environment was very loud. Hard to hear instructors Not unlimited wine—only have wine once all the cooking is done and each table for 2 bottles to share with 10 people so about a glass each Instructors seemed like they weren’t having fun and just wanted to start their weekend
The chief the place the food everything was just perfect! If you’re looking for a fun spot to do a cooking class without the fuss and buss is really leaving the city of Florence and heading deep into the countryside this is great experience
This was experience we will cherish forever. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The chefs were very nice and helpful. This was a highlight of our tour to Florence

What an enjoyable class! Chef Francesco was a great instructor with a great sense of humor. We learned how to make tagliatelle, ravioli and gnocchi. We also learned some useful tips for making bolognese sauce and cutting vegetables. All in our party of 4 enjoyed this experience.

Very thorough and organised cooking class
My mother and I were very lucky there was only another couple in our group which made it very intimate and relaxing
We got to learn quite a few ways of making different sources and different pastas with an added chicken dish as our main and a pancotta for dessert

Chef went step by step showing us how to make dough for ravioli, fettuccine n gnocchi n the sauces to go with them. You get to make the pasta yourself n help prepare the sauces. Lots of fun. Then you sit down to eat with a bottle of wine.

This is a must do experience if you have the time! So much fun, chef was so informative and helpful.
We made so much food! I think we all surprised ourselves how well it all turned out, and learned some simple techniques that are easy to replicate.
Chef even supplied us with all the recipes to take home with us.
Truly worth it!

After being at other cooking classes in Italy this one was not that good. It appeared to be understaffed for the amount of food that they were trying to teach to the group how to make. The girl who was teaching was rushed and seemed a bit confused at times. But I believe she did a good job for being, to me, understaffed.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Good morning from Chefactory, we are delighted that you took part in our pasta class and that you enjoyed the lesson!
We are confident that our management and organization over the past 13 years has always made everyone happy, and our staff is always prepared, timely, and elegantly diplomatic, as true Italian hospitality demands. Of course, it is impossible to please everyone, but we appreciate your feedback.
Sincerely
Awesome class! So much fun making your own authentic food and eating it! Easy recipes to follow at home with our very own recipe booklet to bring home.
Our chef was very clear and easy to follow.
Definitely recommend!

Fantastic pasta class with Francesco. We had a lovely family experience and meal. We've learnt how to make pasta, sauces and some other cooking tricks. Getting the written recipes to practice at home is a must.

Amazing experience! I learned so much!
Pasta making: gnocchi, fettuccine and ravioli.
Sauces: Ragu for the gnocchi, Butter & Sage (salvia) for the spinach ricotta ravioli, and tomato for the fettuccine. Francesco shares his knowledge and puts you at ease. It’s a fun learning experience. He exceeded expectations and delights you with an amazing class of preparation, technique and skill culminating into a feast not only for eyes but the body and soul!
Grazie mille, Francesco!

Great and fun activity for the family specially during a hot day! The chef was super nice, great at explaining and the recipes were delicious. Even my 10 year old son loved it. Can’t wait to go home and make it for our family and friends there. Clean facilities too!

Thank you very much for the review and the compliments,
but in addition to our COOLING capabilities, we also help with our many air conditioners. The important thing is that you enjoyed our class of typical Italian pasta with traditional sauces.
see you soon
A fun experience, to either learn from the start or improve your skills. My grandson loved it, his first time trying it and he can't wait to make pasta at home!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, and we hope to see you soon in our workshops with new recipes and secret chefs' tricks.
warm regards
Chef Francesco was a hoot! Entire family had a fantastic time making pasta and picking up additional cooking tips. My kids insist that the pasta we had that evening (three types) was the best pasta they ate during our entire trip - and we had our fair share of pasta from some highly-rated establishments! Highly-recommend this experience while in Florence.
