Chef Simone is so personable. He truly loves what he does. He treated us like family. My niece and I wanted a true Tuscany activity and this was it. Got to be in the kitchen before service. Learned the Italian simplicity to cooking pasta and tiramisu. Lovely afternoon with great people.

Dear Ms Katherine, we're so grateful you've enjoyed your experience with Chef Simone. We hope every visitors can feel a little bit of authentic Tuscany when they're here. We'll make sure he'll read your kind words!

Excellent! Chef is very passionate about what he does and the knowledge he transfers! His attention to detail, not only for what he does, but what he hopes you do, is amazing. And, he’s funny, engaging and makes you want to know the what’s and why of each step. He involves and engages you to help you learn, and enjoy the experience. But it’s his passion for what he does that you learn from. The ease of preparation for standard dishes was tranferred to us in an easy to understand and replicate way - quality of what we prepared was fantastic, and something we could easily replicate at home. But mostly, the chef was what made this experience so worth while. Oh, and his team (mom included!), also contributed to this great experience!

Dear Pat, we're so glad you have enjoyed this experience so much! We know the chef is amazing, but understanding travelers as you appreciated him so much it's our real success.
Hope you'll come back for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours and replicate those dishes at home!

This cooking class and tasting experience took place at Casa Gala Restaurant. The restaurant itself is adorable with a wonderful ambiance. It is owned and operated by the nicest family, they truly make you feel welcome and cared for! Be sure to arrive with a big appetite, the experience begins with a Prosecco aperitif and antipasti - so delicious! Afterward, Chef Simone taught us about the history of carbonara as we cooked together. He is a skilled and passionate chef, we loved learning from him! We enjoyed our carbonara along with a bottle of white wine. We ended the night by learning to make tiramisu from Chef Simone’s mother, she was clearly the dessert master! We had a great time from start to finish and would definitely recommend this experience! We rate this 11/10
