We had the most wonderful experience, our host Vinma was the best. She had learned to make pasta with her grandma and couldn’t do enough, we got to make pasta and tiramisu and then watch Vinma cook it for us. Then we enjoyed sitting down to eat a first class meal. The best part was Vinma

We had a lot of fun at our pasta making class with Vilma and Thomas! They were great teachers and showed us a variety of different pastas and two sauces. The food was delicious! I’d say it was a semi-hands on cooking class, and great for beginners, not for skilled cooks! We were with a great group of about 15 total which was a good size. Beautiful view from the house as well!

A must do

This is a must do if you are in Florence or the Tuscany area. Tommaso was the best teacher and chef and we both learned so much and had an amazing experience.

I was worried at first… then magic emerged. Famtastico

At first Inwas frustrated because I booked with 9 people - all family - and found out we were in a class of 20 people. That felt too big. Then it was a slow start where the staff did most of the pasta prep and J was worried we would spend three hours watching experts prep yet I wanted my adult children to touch and experience the food making. As the night progressed we more and more were involved in the process and I began to feel this would be okay. I have done a cooking class in Rome before with max 5 people and we did every single step along the way ourselves so I was struggling. Once the pasta was soft and ready to shape, everyone got an opportunity to shape ravioli into two unique shapes and I started to see the experience as one I enjoyed. I loved that we watched the team make two sauces and in the end the food was delicious and the experience was worth it. The team here is amazing (Wilma is the quintessential Nonna) including Wilma, Tommaso, and Lucca. Lucca shared stories of his own Nonna and her recipes while Wilma hugged my own Mama in deep respect for our shared Italian experiences no matter the miles between us (we are American Italians). My adult children all learned a lot and felt connected to the process of turning flour into stunning ravioli and the food was incredible.

Memories we will treasure forever!

Heavenly Pasta

Graziella_Z, May 2025

This cooking class was amazing! It was just us 2 so we had a really personalized experience. Luca R. was our chef and he really went out of his way to explain and show us all of the different ways, techniques and ingredients to cook the amazing dishes. We had stuffed ravioli ( that we still think about to this day) and a fettuccini fresca. Overall, this was an amazing experience and anyone should definitely take part if you want an authentic Italian food experience that also tastes amazing!

My friends and I had a fantastic time cooking Ravioli and Tagliatelle with Luca! Luca was really fun and knowledgable and we were able to eat the most amazing pasta dishes that we created!

Memory of Italy

Amazing time and cooking class! Our chief was super friendly and took an interest in our experience, we definitely took a lot away from this day. Would highly recommend!

Family fun making pasta.

Lenelle_B, Apr 2024

We had such a fun time with Wilma. We made 4 different types of pasta including one that wasn’t originally on the menu, but added because I requested learning how to make it. All were delicious. We especially loved the tiramisu!

Fantastic Pasta making with excellent chef!

Carolyne_B, Oct 2023

We have a fantastic time! Vilma was an excellent teacher and gave us so many tips and insights into pasta making. Our pasta turned out fabulous and we had a beautiful dinner with lovely Chianti wine. The setting was beautiful, a perfect evening!

Pasta perfection!

This was a great class for the whole family. The kitchen and work space were both very clean and professional. The views and hospitality were wonderful and the chef and staff were gracious, patient, and good with our kids. Highly recommend.
