It’s amazing!!! Please go if you have the opportunity. You will not regret it:) Everyone is so kind and the energy is great. You will also learn a lot and it is explained in a way that is so easy to follow that you can do it at home immediately after

We had such an amazing time at this cooking class! We made fresh ravioli, pasta from scratch, and tiramisu—all absolutely delicious. Our instructor, Raphelo (I hope I’m spelling that right!), was fantastic—super helpful, patient, and made the whole experience fun and approachable. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area who wants a hands-on, authentic Italian cooking experience!

Fantastic time, the instructor could not have been better. The youtube video that promoted this being at a location with a view of the city. This class did not have a view. That would have made it 5 star

Perfect

Recommendation

Katina_H, Apr 2026

Informative. Lots of walking and great area for picture taking. Skip the line was great. Lines were long and we were able to go right in without issues.

Really relaxed and fun....

Megha_V, Apr 2026

Really enjoyable and fun. The teaching method is helpful and shows how you don’t have to memorize a recipe.

Pasta+tiramisù amazing class ✨👌

Paulo_B, Apr 2026

Loved the pasta+tiramisù class with chef Merve 😍 learned a lot about making, history facts and was fun 🍀👏 grazie mille 🙏

I made the best meal in Italy!

Carolyn_W, Apr 2026

As an avid hand washer, I was a little nervous about how this would end up while cooking as a group. I was so excited when the cooked pasta that I ate liked exactly like the wonky pasta that I sent to the kitchen to cook! They gathered each groups pasta individually and knew whose was what. Amazing! I’ve tried to make pasta before by myself from a recipe. It did not go well. This time, the pasta was very yummy. Sam was our chef, she was very helpful and funny and made this class a wonderful experience. Everyone who worked within this class were very helpful and nice. They like food and want to make sure that you know how to cook it! As the class progresses, we each got a little personal attention to help prefect our doughs. Plenty of wine and water and juice to go around to give you confidence and keep you hydrated while kneading the dough. Highly recommend this class for sure! We had younger kids and older people and everyone in between. All seemed to enjoy the class and their food at the end. It was worth the time in a city that has so much to do.

Fantastic family experience!

Jodi_T, Apr 2026

This was an incredible experience that my family will always remember. The chef was so genuine in his passion for teaching! We made pasta, ravioli and tiramisu from scratch. I have a gluten allergy and offered a separate meal while my family ate what we all had made. I highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic!

Annette_A, Apr 2026

Chef Kevin was perfecto! What a positive experience. It was organized, clean. fun and Kevin was great at helping everyone. I highly recommend booking with them!

Small, friendly and delicious experience for cooks of any age

Jan_S, Mar 2026

Directions lead us to the correct location and thankfully the host was standing at the entrance to great us. The restaurant was newly renovated and there wasn’t a sign so we could have easily missed it

So much fun!

William_C, Mar 2026

This was a blast and so fun! We highly recommend for couples or small groups. Our chef was helpful and our food turned out delicious.

This was so much fun!...

Renee_B, Mar 2026

This was SO MUCH FUN! There were young and old, couples and families in our class and everyone had the best time and our food turned out great! Highly recommend!

So much fun!

Stacey_R, Jan 2026

This is a great experience. You will leave confident that you can make these dishes at home. It was 100% worth it!

Great way to spend an evening

Anita_K, Jan 2026

It is an evening full of fun, good cooking and wise words from our teacher chef Raphael. He guided us through the art of making homemade pasta and tiramisu. The best meal I had in Firenze. It was so much fun - and wine! As a solo traveller from Denmark I highly recommend it.

Amore! ❤️

Leslie_P, Jan 2026

Our chef immersed us into Italy’s true culinary traditions. From kneading dough to making fresh pasta and teaching us how to make Tiramisu was an experience we will take home!

Fun unexpected experience.

Richard_H, Jan 2026

This experience was well worth every penny and super well done. The staff and chef was super fun, knowledgeable and very passionate about cooking, family, history and how it all ties together. He shared personal experiences that made him relatable and is great if you’re traveling with young adults or if you’re a young adult going out into the world. The food was wonderful and the experience was unforgettable. Going to recommend to friends who will be traveling to Florence within the next couple months.

Check out Italy's love and passion for food.

Paul_M, Jan 2026

The process genuinely requires two and a half hours, yet the outcome is exceptionally rewarding. This offering transcends mere culinary preparation; it is an immersive experience.

Taught to be easy

Damaris_N, Dec 2025

Rafa was an excellent chef and teacher! His passion for history and how it tied together to cooking class left me memorized. He shared several tricks to master techniques, and detailed how to determine the pasta is ready.....these visions will help me take home. I'm glad we added this class last minute! The tirimisu demonstration was detailed. I can't wait to go home and make my own pasta. My 16yo son loved the class and said it was a def highlight.

Fantastic Pasta Making Experience

Chitra_S, Dec 2025

The cooking class with Chef Rafael and his team was very enjoyable and a MUST TRY. The chef is a historian, cooking aficionado and excellent at teaching. We were a family of four and joined by 9 others. We made papardelle, ravioli and tiramisu from scratch . We learned the right way to make it and then we dined together for lunch. The chef and his team very organized, clear in explaining things to us and made the experience very enjoyable for us all. The kitchen at La Carbonata was easy to find and made for a great experience for our entire family.

Fun, indoor activity in Florence

Jason_W, Dec 2025

A good fun thing to do during your time in Florence. We made pasta but not the sauce. And we watched them make tiramisu. Hands-on experience and very tasty. Kids enjoyed. A great activity if the weather is not great.

Changes made, Unfortunate timing and communication.

Sally_L, Dec 2025

Unfortunately, the time and location of our class was changed, moved to an earlier time, which was communicated to us via WhatsApp and email late the evening prior and we did not see. So we went to the location and time our original and confirmation email from the morning of the scheduled event said. When we got to the site, we were told the class was cancelled because the chef was sick. They called someone for us who said we could go to a different location where a class had already started, or cancel. We chose to cancel since we would miss almost an hour of the class at that point. Later in the day when I messaged for a refund, I noted the number I had been given had sent a message moving the class up, but was in spam. They did give a refund and offered a different class, but it did not work in our schedule.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Dear Sally, We’re sorry you couldn’t attend the class, but we want to clarify the situation. We informed you about the change of time and location two days in advance via WhatsApp, email, and the Viator platform. We received no response. On the day of the class, you went to the old meeting point and only then saw our messages. You called us, and we offered a spot in an ongoing class or to reschedule, but neither worked with your plans. Despite this, we gave you a full refund out of respect. We're sad to see a negative review despite our efforts, but we remain committed to clear communication and excellent service for every guest.

Best Florence Experience!!

Marli_L, Dec 2025

This was the most incredible experience for us! We learned so much about Italian food and Italy culture. Chef Raffa was amazing and very hospitable, and the food turned out delicious. Worth every penny and more! Thank you!

A must book!

Anthony_H, Dec 2025

Absolute wonderful experience, the culture, the traditions, the stories. Could not speak more highly of this cooking class. Thank you Kevin. Looking forward to see you expand in Paris, Canada and the United States!

Pasta cooking class

Elizabeth_F, Nov 2025

This was a great cooking class we learned how to make ravioli and pasta and tiramasu. The teacher was very good and taught us alot about pasta and cooking it. We had a great dinner after all our hard work. I think I am a master at pasta. Lol can't wait to try it at home. Chef gave us the recipes we made. We absolutely loved this cooking class. We recommend it.

Fun and delicious experience!

Barbara_H, Oct 2025

It was the best and most fun cooking experience so far in Italy. Great chef, help and owner. We met other fellow travellers and shared our travel stories. Wonderful and great instructions. I think I will actually make pasta at home. Thanks for the memories.
