We had a wonderful cooking class with Elena! She was very patient and did a great job of showing us how to do things. We also enjoyed her visiting with us while we ate our meal. She was very sweet and we highly recommend her class.

Best experience ever

Marjorie_A, Oct 2024

We had an amazing experience with Georgio for the pasta making class. It exceeded all our expectations. We were greeted with wine, cheeses & fresh meats. Georgio not only taught us how to make homemade pasta, ravioli, sauce & tiramisu, but knife skills as well. I would recommend this experience to everyone. We had a blast with Georgio.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Sheetal_S, Jun 2023

Great class! Kids loved it too. This tour really gives you the opportunity to see how Italians eat...go to the market, pick your fresh produce and head to the kitchen. Giorgio was a fantastic guide and chef, and the food was amazing! Don't eat beforehand, because there will be more than enough to eat, and you will also enjoy plenty of wine as well.

Delightful evening of cooking and wine!

alexia_v, May 2023

Fantastic evening cooking! My partner was unable to join so I ventured off solo and attended this class and I am so glad I did! Chef and his sous chef were so kind, personable, knowledgeable and fun. The session started with a prepared appetizer and aperol spritz and then we began our pasta making - both noodles and ravioli along with a fresh tomato sauce and strawberry tiramisu. Super informative and fun! The evening concluded with indulging in our made dinner and dessert along with wine and lovely conversation. They even packaged up the rest of the prepared dinner so I could bring back to my husband.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our Authentic Florence Pasta-Making Class, the Chef and its team! We agree with you, Giorgio is a talented chef and a lovely person to spend time with! Do you know he also holds a degree in Philosophy?! We could spend hours talking with him of food and life and never run out of topic of conversations! We look forward to hosting you again in another one of our Eating Europe foodie cities!
