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.

Simone was a great instructor, really made us feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. We were a small group which I imagine can sometimes be difficult to keep the energy going but was really fun. The food was great, and we had plenty of wine to keep it going too. The Market opposite has a great reputation and some amazing food to try too
Thomas was an excellent chef and instructor. We had a delightful group of eight people at our table from around the world. Thomas showed us how to make my new favorite, sage butter ravioli. He taught us many nuances (sfumature) and fine details that differentiate just cooking to really cooking high-end meals with delicate tastes. My Italian American companion who happens to be a very good cook of Italian food, taught by her mother from Avellino, learned quite a bit from Thomas. The techniques will live with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Thomas!
Both my husband and I had a fantastic time at this class. It was a perfect change of pace from the continuous stretch of musuems and monuments and gave us the chance to relax. We both learned a lot and got to enjoy some delicious pasta. Chef Davide was equal parts instructional and hilarious and the time flew by. I would highly recommend this class to everyone.
Your ads are very misleading because our Chef was open about him not being a Michelin star trained Chef. Shame on you guys for advertising that way as well. We enjoyed the class. He was great at what he taught, but there is a big difference between a Michelin star chef and one who is not.

Hi Angela,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
It seems there may have been a misunderstanding, so I’d be happy to clarify. We have never claimed that our chefs are Michelin-starred chefs. What we communicate is that our chefs have professional experience working in restaurants awarded Michelin stars, which is what we mean when referring to their Michelin-starred restaurant background.
Of course, our chefs would never claim to personally hold Michelin stars, as Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants, not individual chefs.
Thank you again for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to clarify this point.
Best regards,
Pasta Class Team
Our chef leading the class was very patient and involved with creating a laid back but fun experience, be prepared to eat, we made 3 different pasta dishes and got to eat them all
Simone was great, professional cooking tips, easy recipes, helpful to those in need, and aware of his audience. I would highly recommend this cooking class.
We have been to this cooking class before but this time we brought some friends and Marco was our chef. He was wonderful. We had so much fun and he was so attentive, helpful and patient. We really enjoyed our experience and plan to continue to bring our friends to this and other classes they offer.
Thomas was our chef and an excellent instructor who made it fun! The pasta and sauces were very tasty. We are very happy we booked this activity!

Thank you Kim we really appreciate that :)
Excellent host and facility. Chef David loved his job and it shows. NE side of town. The bus runs out that way if you need it. By a flea market so you can kill some time before.

Thank you Richard for appreciate our experience!
Viator confirmed the wrong address. I showed up early to a closed restaurant. A worker told me two walk four blocks to find the right place. This was a not great neighborhood
After arriving the class was fun and chef David very good.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hello Vince,
I am sorry for the misunderstanding about the address, I am glad you enjoy the experience with chef Davide.
Our locations are 4 min walk close by and sometime we find some difficulty to communicate change of address through Viator, we will pay more attention to that.
Thank you for the feedback!
Great fun & delicious pasta!
My wife and I enjoyed all of the pastas, making them was super fun! Andrea was amazing & super fun!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you, Andrea is a great chef we are glad you liked him!
Andrea is an excellent chef and teacher - very patient and friendly with the students. I had a really great experience. Would take other classes with him if they were available.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you a lot for joining our cooking class! Andrea is a great chef :)
We thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making class in Florence! The cooking space was beautiful, welcoming, and perfectly set up for a hands on experience. Our chef was incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but what made the class truly special was his engaging personality and the way he made learning both fun and approachable. His skill, enthusiasm, and interaction with everyone made this a memorable part of out time in Florence. Highly recommend!

Thank you a lot Catherine!
Chef David was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed his information sharing and teaching on making pasta and cream sauce without cream. Everything we fixed as a group was excellent. Looking forward to fixing these items for friends and family
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! Yes Davide is a great chef of our team
It was a great experience. Thomas was amazing as he not only shared his knowledge on pasta making but he was personable and kind.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! Yes Thomas is one of a kind :)
This class was so much fun! We learned several sauces and made pasta from scratch. We took this class with children ranging form 11-18 and they all said this was their favorite thing we did

Thank you a lot Angie! we appreciate a lot :)
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!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you we appreciate a lot!
My husband and I had an unforgettable experience making pasta and learning about Italian cooking. The chef was fun and knowledgeable, and the wine kept flowing for the lesson. Eating our pasta at the end was 😋
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you a lot! :))
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!

Thank you very much we are happy to hear your experience!
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.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Grazie Vince!
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.

Thank you a lot!
This class was so much fun! Chef Davide was phenomenal! Not only was he a great teacher who made sure everyone participated, but he brought a lot of energy and fun to the group! 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. Come hungry - I promise you will leave not only with a full stomach, but with a full and happy heart as well! This class was the perfect addition to our visit to Florence!
