Chef Kevin was a great teacher! We made two kinds of pasta and tiramisu. This young man has a passion for cooking and loves what he is doing. He and his staff were very friendly and helpful and made this a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this fun and delicious event.

This was an AMAZING experience. I took 5 teen girls (only 2 of who had an interest in cooking) and everyone had a great time. Chef Marvela was excellent! Her expertise, patience and passion for cooking made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend booking and asking for her because she can teach everyone from learning how to crack an egg to perfecting a delicious pasta meal with ease! This is an experience that we will never forget! Grazie Chef Marvela!

Fantastic! I would suggest this class for anyone except young kids. Very informative, made great pastas, learned about tiramisu. Sat down and ate as a large group. So much fun! And lots of great wine!

Way better than we expected

Teri_B, Oct 2025

This cooking class was over the top excellence. First of all, Giuseppe and Anna's house is beautiful with a fantastic view of Naples. They are a welcoming, friendly couple. When we arrived, they were all set up and we dove right in. The instruction, ingredients and final result we more than we expected out of ourselves. Absolutely delicious! We would go back and highly recommend this experience regardless of your cooking prowess or lack thereof.

Excellent

Our favorite thing we did in Florence

Emma_H, Oct 2025

We couldn't recommend this more! I have done other Florence cooking classes, which were all fun, but this one is is absolutely next level. We learned SO much, not about just how to cook this meal but why, mixed in with Italian philosophy and history that impacted our entire trip and everything else we experienced too. We loved how this class was not just for entertainment value, but for actual deep learning along with the joy of making an amazing meal. Book this immediately!

The hosts were fun and...

Cathie_M, Oct 2025

The hosts were fun and knowledgeable. We all had fun trying to make pasta. We made our own pasta but we did not make tiramisu. The chef made the dessert and shared it with us.

Shari_R, Sep 2025

The pasta making class was a lot of fun. The aprons provided were a great conversation starter. The class was a bit crowded, not a lot elbow room. The pasta was delicious and the tiramisu was wonderful. The wine was flowing and conversation with whole group was very interesting and entertaining. And a bonus, this restaurant has a wine window. Just a fun photo op.

Ashley_W, Sep 2025

Very fun! We did it our first night in Florence and it was a great way to start the trip. The staff were amazing, the food we made was good. 10/10

Learning & eating are a perfect pair!

Anita_S, Sep 2025

Rafa was amazing and entertaining. We learned so much about making pasta and tiramisu as well as the history of Florence. I would give 5 stars but I think the group was too big so it was hard to hear all of the instructions and tidbits. Highly recommend this class for the delicious food that we made and ate as well as the endless red and white wine! Rafa was great at answering questions and they had another assistant who was wonderful too. I’m excited to try making pasta at home.

There were a few...

Marian_R, Sep 2025

There were a few positives and negatives with this experience. While chef Maggie was great and most of the guests were nice and friendly, one of the other guests consumed too much of the unlimited wine and ending up throwing up at the table and causing issues for the group and the establishment that were gracious enough to host us. I also believe that the group size was a bit too large, leading to a slower time to have everything prepped and too much time with wine before food. The food was generally ok but could have used more salt across the board. Overall still interested in this experiences but this one had some major flaws causing me to rate it as I did.

The Perfect Balance

William_P, Sep 2025

It was a great experience! Kevin was knowledgable and passionate. He made sure everyone was engaged and understood what to do, while also balancing some fun chat between! We enjoyed the group setting and the sauce and spinach we used in our pasta was great. Unlimited wine was great too! The location was in an easy spot in relation to the other sites and hotels. Would definitely recommend!

Cooking is LOVE

Christopher_E, Aug 2025

There were only 12 people in the group so instruction was very personalized and fun! Making the pasta was very enjoyable and the wine was fantastic- and unlimited! All the raw pasta was collected and cooked but it wasn’t just randomly served- what YOU made YOU ate. The staff, Maggie and Leonardo, were very kind yet firm with the instructions and took time to help give tips along the way. They did a great job keeping control of the flow. 12/10 recommend!

Mom and daughter experience

Marcie_P, Aug 2025

We had a little "down time" so my daughter and I took this cooking class on our last night in Florence. The class was far in the back of an actual open restaurant. What a shame if we had missed this fun experience. When we got to the class, a couple realized that their class was "yesterday," yet the restaurant welcomed them into our class and extended the work table. Very accommodating. Our instructor was funny, patient and professional. I'm so glad that we didn't miss this class. My daughter and I had such a great time and talked about it long after.

Best class!

Katie_D, Aug 2025

This was such an incredible experience, we were a large group of 7, we were able to get great hands on instructions. The instructor was amazing, very helpful, kind and funny! We had a blast with all the members of the cooking class and will forever remember this experience in Florence!

Family Trip

Linda_Z, Aug 2025

Kevin was amazing. Highly recommend this tour. There was 18 of my family members and we had so much fun. Food was fantastic!

So worth it !

WJ_V, Aug 2025

We booked this class last minute and we are glad we did. Rafa and Lucy were great teachers and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. I’m so excited to go back home and try to do what we learned.

Delicious and Fun

Emily_I, Jul 2025

This was such a great experience for the whole family. Our chef was amazing and so knowledgable, the wine was flowing and the pasta was delicious. We learned so much about Florence through this class. The tiramisu was next level. I would highly recommend this pasta making class for the whole family!
