I had such a wonderful experience in this class with Arturo! We made ravioli, tortellini, and pappardelle from scratch, and the whole process was fun, hands-on, and easy to follow. Arturo is not only a skilled chef but also a fantastic teacher. He was patient, clear, and has a great sense of humour that made the class even more enjoyable. I left feeling confident I could recreate the recipes at home, and with a new appreciation for fresh pasta. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting! it was a real highlight!

My wife and I are visiting our daughter studying abroad in Florence and we spent part of our first day making pasta, and we had so much fun together! Chef was amazing and we will now be making fresh pasta when she is back in the States.

Great experience!

We had the best time making pasta and mingling with the other group members. Our chef was thorough and helped us a lot, as well as had a great personality. It was so fun and delicious. Also, the location was perfect. In an old cellar and stunning. Would highly recommend.

First Pasta making class with my husband… it was an amazing experience!! Chef Andrea was truly an incredible teacher and made the class so worthwhile. We had a ton of fun, learned how to make authentic Italian Pasta, and had plenty of good wine. Cannot recommend this highly enough. If you have a couple of hours in Florence this is the best way to spend it!!

Learning to make pasta in Florence - so fun!

Craig_P, Oct 2025
We learned to make tortellini, ravioli and pappardelle by hand on one of our first nights in Florence. It was a small group (8-10 people) of very fun folks from all over (Ireland, US, other). The chef was awesome - fun, funny, patient and of course, made amazing sauces to accompany our pastas. There was also lots of great wine for during the food preparation and the meal. We were able to bring home the recipes and are looking forward to trying to replicate the great meal we had there. We highly recommend the class!

Fun pasta making class in Florence

Chris_R, Sep 2025
My son and I had an enjoyable evening learning to make different styles of pasta with Chef Eno and a friendly bunch of around 20 other participants. We learnt a lot and enjoyed eating the pasta we made, cooked and served with a variety of Tuscan sauces. The time flew by and Eno was an excellent host. Give it a go!

The only TRUE way to experience culture is thru Food

Audra_C, Sep 2025
The only real way to experience whats true to a culture is to learn their creativity in their food. Chef Andrea was an amazing teacher. He was helpful and very patient when we were struggling w a technique. He was kind and gracious. My family really enjoyed his personality and also the knowledge he gave. We wish him the Very Best Blessings in life. Thank you Chef!
