Francesca provided a perfect environment for creating two beautiful, Tuscan pasta dishes. It was a quaint party of six and we all worked together to make a delightful dish of ravioli with a ricotta filling and tagliatelle with a simple red sauce. She also finished our time together with a traditional biscotti and Frescobaldi. Her creativity and love for food is expressed in her teaching. Thank you Francesca (and Figaro, her dog) for a lovely gathering. Can’t wait to make pasta at home.

A lovely pasta making experience

Lydia_S, Sep 2025

Francesca warmly welcomed us to her apartment in Florence. There were just two of us so the experience was very personal. She is so passionate about food and art and bringing the two together. Making the pasta was fun—and really not so difficult. We both feel emboldened to return home and recreate the ricotta ravioli, tagliatelle with lovely tomato sauce and panzanella salad exactly like she showed us.

Pasta made easy!

Not good

Jozef_C, Jun 2025

The guide changed schedule at last minute. Try to work it out setting other time. We finally can't adjust our schedule. They charged us the amount regardless of this...

Wonderful experience - cooking class in Florence

Andrew_I, Mar 2025

Francesca's cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Florence! Such a wonderful experience for us and our teenage sons. We made tagllatelle and ravioli with Francesca and can't wait to do it again when we get home. Thanks so much.

Perfect Pasta

Fleur_R, Sep 2024

Cooking traditional pasta dishes was probably at the top of my list of things to do in Italy. Francesca was so welcoming and an excellent host. It felt such an achievement to make and then eat the pasta in such beautifully flavoured sauces. We would definitely recommend Francesca to all our friends and family who might travel to Florence.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Fleur, We’re glad to hear that you had a great time with Francesca! See you soon at another Eatwith table, either in your hometown or during your travels!

Perfect way to spend a morning in Florence!

Meadhbh_O, Jul 2024

This was our first time making pasta, and Francesca was so lovely & made everything super easy for us to understand. We're going to buy a pasta machine as soon as we get home! Delicious food, wine & friendly Figaro - perfect morning in Florence.

Wonderful Pasta making and lunch.

Shane_L, Mar 2024

What a wonderful experience. The class was in Francesca’s apartment. She and Figaro the golden retriever were amazing hosts. The class was engaging and beautiful. We learned a lot in a very relaxing and comforting environment. Francesca’s love for food and art was evident throughout. Was the perfect experience for me and my daughter. Thank you!

Best Pasta Ever

Fun Pasta Class in Florence

Melissa_S, Jan 2024

I took my 11 year old son who loves to cook on this experience. We learned to make 2 kinds of pasta from scratch and enjoyed a meal! Francesca was wonderful, patient, and welcoming in her home. I highly recommend this class!

Perfect experience

Valerie_B, Oct 2023

This experience was everything I was looking for! Personal, insightful, and delicious. It’s a great way to meet fellow travelers, learn a tradition skill, and enjoy a bite to eat all in just a few hours! Francesca is a wonderful host and instructor. She welcomed us into her home and shared her love of food with us. I could ask for nothing more!

Becca_P, Oct 2023

We really enjoyed learning more about life in Italy and how families make pasta at home! She was very friendly and the apartment was beautiful - wonderful lunch out on the patio.

Incredible host, even better food! 💜

Florence_H, Sep 2023

Incredible host ! So friendly, helpful and informative ! Couldn’t ask for anything more! She made us feel welcome in her home and as an extra bonus we had cuddles with her dog ! The food was amazing and we’ve come away with some ideas to try at home! The experience was supposed to be shared but the others didn’t show up. Francesca spent some time talking to them and even offered to try to call them a taxi herself (as they were struggling). She made countless offers to help them but in the end they didn’t show! It was great for us as we got more time with Francesca.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Florence, Thank you for writing this amazing review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience with your Francesca. Food has a special way of creating magical moments like this one! We hope to see you soon at another Eatwith table.

No taxi

Anonymous, Sep 2023

This was not Francesca fault. We were unable to get a taxi to the location. She was willing to change our time but we could find no transportation.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi, Thank you for letting us know. We are sorry you encountered difficulties in finding transportation to the location for your event. We will follow up with Francesca to find out what happened. Happy travels!

Cooking with Francesca was wonderful

Jay_P, Aug 2023

Francesca was amazing. She welcomed us into her home and taught us a lot. It was only our family there so we got a lot of attention as we’ll be able to do pasta without eggs. After class, we sat on her deck and ate the wonderful food we made. Highly recommend this class!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Jay, We’re glad to hear that you had a great time with your Host! We hope to see you soon at another Eatwith table!

Delicious Experience

Chloe_B, Jul 2023

The cooking class with Francesca was absolutely amazing! I always thought pasta was difficult to make but Francesca made it look so easy. It was a lovely atmosphere and we got to meet another great family in the class and work together to make a delicious lunch. Everyone was able to fully participate in the cooking experience. We even got to meet Francesca's dog - Figaro! If you are looking for an authentic pasta-making class with a relaxed and chill environment, book with Francesca. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Andrea_R, Jun 2023

Francesca was such a welcoming host, and it was lovely to meet her and learn from her. She’sa good teacher! Delicious food from simple ingredients, and we may possibly be able to do this ourselves at home. My 13 year old daughter and I did this together and it was perfect. Thank you!

Hi Andrea_R, We love hearing stories like this! Francesca had a great time as well and would love to welcome you again. Thanks for your kind words, we look forward to seeing you at another Eatwith experience in the near future!

Authentischer Pastakurs

Susann_B, Sep 2024

Es war ein wunderschöner Abend bei Francesca. Sie hat uns sehr gut erklärt, wie wir leckere und einfache Pasta machen können. Die haben wir am Ende mit einem Glas Wein auf ihrer schönen Terrasse genießen können. Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend an Francesca
