This pasta making experience was really fun and very informative for the novices in our family as well as the more experienced cooks. Andrea is an outstanding chef, patient, efficient and articulate. The pasta we made was delicious and something we could recreate at home. We all enjoyed making the three different styles with the different sauces. The wine was also wonderful. It is well worth your time.

Andrea was wonderful, he was very knowledgeable, great teacher. Made the event fun. Taught how to make pasta dough and turn into ravioli, papadella and fettuccine. Very hands on and the meal we prepared was amazing. Highly recommend.

Don't let the location (a storefront in a slightly sketchy area) scare you away. Once inside, this experience was one of the highlights of our Italian trip. Extremely well-run, Tomas was super skilled in engaging with all of us AND in cooking. He was fun, easy-going, and endearing. The meal was AMAZING. Do this class! You will be so glad you did.

Super fun way to spend a couple hours while in Florence. Kind of nice to be off your feet and in air conditioning and who doesn’t want to know how to make pasta and take home a tiny piece of this beautiful country and its incredible food!

The Art of Cooking Pasta Ala Firenze!

Catherine_A, Jun 2026

This was an excellent experience, and my husband and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Firenze! Our chef was exquisite, with great attention to detail. He exhibited a lot of patience to work with our small group of pros, amateurs and even some children. We learned so much about making/cooking pasta correctly and about cooking times, different sauces to pair with various pastas, etc. He provided an awesome way to make ravioli without using fancy tools and accessories. He was so neat, and cleaned the surfaces and the pots/pans meticulously as he moved from pasta to pasta. On a personal note, he mimicked what my mother used to say: "Never use garlic in meat sauce." My mom often would present her pasta with the words: "It's a simple peasant dish but made with love." Our aprons said: "Cook with Love." Surprisingly, my own nonna's sauce was similar to the meat sauce that our chef prepared, so it was extra special for me, with so many memories of my childhood flooding back to me. We enjoyed the end results, with three different pastas and great tasting sauces. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class and spent the evening wandering the streets of Florence to work off some of the extra calories. No ill effects from this experience either!

Marco was an exceptional teacher. Super fun and knowledgeable, and though I imagine he leads this class a lot, for us it felt like the first time. Also, the food itself ended up being the best pasta we had in Italy. Really high end stuff.

We made 3 different pasta dishes and all were fantastic! (Plus, there's plenty of wine to drink throughout the process.) You also get all the recipes to take home with you.
