This was a such a fun, hands-on class. It was great to get stuck in to the techniques and learning about pasta making. Sam was a wonderful host. The sauce was delicious, as was the tiramisu (and wine)! I would totally recommend as part of a group or on your own!

Definitely would recommend. Samantha our chef/teacher was amazing. We laughed a ton and learned a lot. The food was fabulous, wine was wonderful and dessert was amazing. Our group of 11 that ranged in age from 18-55 all enjoyed the experience.

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!

Experience was excellent, I took my family with two kids 13 and 15 and everyone had a great time. Food and teacher were excellent.

Great for Families

Matthew_L, Jun 2026

This was an excellent experience. The class was not rushed, and we enjoyed a very relaxed atmosphere. We were a little worried if our kids (10 and 13) would get much out of the experience, but they both said this was one of their favorite experiences of their entire trip to Italy.

Anna_L, Jun 2026

This was a fun class that taught the basics of pasta making! We made our own dough, rolled it out, and shaped the pasta. The cooks then cooked it for us and made the sauce. Delicious!!!

Delicious, fun, and informative cooking class

David_K, Jun 2026

This was a wonderful, fun and delicious experience. The older brother (Rodolfo ?) led our group. He was very passionate about the food and how it is made. We made pappardelle, ravioli and tiramisu with wine of course. I highly recommend this informative and fun experience.

This class was so much fun and we learned a lot about making pasta and tiramisu. Both were delicious because mostly due excellent guidance from our instructor Sam. She was terrific.

Great experience, but they don’t give you the recipes!

Jessie_T, Jun 2026

Excellent cooking experience, delicious food, and we met some great people! Only downside is we never received the recipes after like we were promised, so no ability to ever remake them back home. :(

Best Experience in Florence

Nikkole_R, Jun 2026

We had the absolute best time making pasta in Florence. The chef was absolutely amazing. He was super knowledgeable, fun and taught us how to make the best pasta we have ever had!

We really enjoyed this...

Aaron_P, Jun 2026

We really enjoyed this experience. We were able to learn the techniques of making pasta and our instructor was very informative and passionate about cooking. He was very hands on and made sure everyone was successful. He gave us some history and talked about how pasta is made in the different areas of Italy.

This was a great...

Ritika_G, Jun 2026

This was a great experience! Rafaelo was a wonderful host - he was a great teacher, very funny, and is so passionate about his work. My family had so much fun and learned a lot.

Buonissimo!

CindyPatton, Jun 2026

The pasta class was GREAT! Kevin was a wonderful pasta guide, as were the “supporting characters” who helped to keep things running smoothly. It was a lot of fun. Two things: 1) Viator stated that the class started at 1:00; however it began at 1:30 and we did not receive notice. Something to iron out as we struggled to make it “on time”, only to wait a half hour. 2) Just a suggestion - A little Italian instrumental music in the background would be a nice extra touch. Overall, a great afternoon - Grazie, Kevin!

So much fun!!!

Elizabeth_G, Jun 2026

I was able to book this amazing experience just a few days ahead because I was traveling solo. We had a wonderful chef who had worked in Michelin starred restaurants. The place was lovely. I had a wonderful time meeting other Americans in Italy and I learned how to make two types of pasta and tiramisu. I would highly recommend this class and plan to bring my family back next time.

Best cooking class

Rachel_B, Jun 2026

Would definitely recommend

Kimberly_S, May 2026

Delish Pasta and Instructor!

Lisa_J, May 2026

Really great pasta class! Fantastic instructor. Meal was delish. Could have skipped the tiramisu as it was not hands on, or easy to see demo.

We would come back

Mike_S, May 2026

Great with a couple or group, you’ll have a great time and the food is amazing. Be sure to come hungry. We hope to return for one of their other classes.

Really fun even if you...

Sue_E, May 2026

Really fun even if you are not a cook! Also come a little hungry because you will eat what you made at the end. Delicious!

Incredible, fun...

thomas_F, May 2026

Incredible, fun experience. Would highly recommend. Staff was exceptional. We had so much fun, my husband said it was one of his favorite activities while in Italy. The sauce was the best we had during our stay, simply delicious. The owner was so pationate about cooking, it was refreshing to see a propiator care so much. I wish I could remember the young ladies name who lead the class, she made us feel like family.

Very enjoyable...

Kelly_H, May 2026

Very enjoyable experience! Kevin (our chef instructor), beside the actual cooking technique(s), added history, and humor! The entire experience was more than expected - highly recommend!

Fun group, great chefs,...

Meghan_A, May 2026

Fun group, great chefs, food was wonderful. Small group experience and chefs were attentive. Very fun way to spend an evening in Florence.

This was an amazing...

Marilyn_C, May 2026

This was an amazing experience all around. Our chef made the whole thing both educational and fun with a love of italian heritage. He walked us through each step, gave us the whys, and was able to help everyone form their doughs. He was so cool and had a lot if passion for teaching! We made 2 pasta shapes and part of the tiramisu. We were provided with lots of wine and a charcuterie plate too. The finished meal of our own pastas turned out great. Our 20 year old had as much fun as we did! The experience was almost 3.5 hours since we all said we were not in a hurry!! Highly recommend if you need time off from seeing sights and museums!!

I have always wanted to...

Michelle_M, May 2026

I have always wanted to do a pasta making class - but to do it in Italy was something else! We didn't just watch a demonstration we made the pasta ourselves. It was fun and entertaining - and the food turned out amazing! Highly recommend.

Fun and welcoming cooking class

Lori_W, May 2026

A fun and welcoming evening led by the wonderful Samantha! She guided us in making two kinds of pasta and then showed us how to make tiramisu. After the restaurant cooked it and added sauce for us, we ate all of it and it was delicious. The activity was enjoyable and the people were friendly. It is good for all skill levels. I was solo and felt very included. I highly recommend this.
