    Great experience! 2 adult couples enjoyed learning how to make pasta and then really loved eating it over lunch. Instructor was patient and had great teaching skills. Hint..use gps coordinates to locate as they are more accurate than address when mapping driving.

    Very nice but fast pasta course.

    Very interesting to make and eat our own pasta. It was really fun and our teachers Lucia and Rosa were very sweet and did a good job! However it did not take too long, and when they were serving our pasta, it seemed like it had to go very fast. The dishes (3 types of pasta) followed with each time only 10mins in between, and after we immediately had desert. It was as if they wanted us gone. We did not leave though, we just changed tables to have a relaxed drink after our diner, but after an hour or two they still did not come to take our drinks. We had to go get a waiter to actually get our order. The end was a bit less, but the course itself was definitely good.

    Fabulous experience!

    We had a fabulous time and learned how to make many kinds of pasta. The staff was amazing, as were the views of Tuscany. What amazing place!

    Wonderful views & experience!

    We had a wonderful time making pasta & enjoyed the whole experience. The property is beautiful & lunch afterwards where we ate our pasta had an amazing view. I would definitely recommend taking this class. My only suggestion would be for the instructor to explain the process to us as we go along & do it with them. They would show us before ahead what we had to do then we had to remember how to do it. The whole staff was so kind & helpful but we probably wouldn’t have needed so much help if we did it at the same time as the instructor. Just a suggestion.. but overall it was a great time & would do it again!

    Great experience

    Lucia sharing the story of the agriturismo and also sharing her story in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Dinner was delightful and the wait staff was attentive. We even had musical entertainment that was lovely.

    Expectations were not met!

    The description of this class was very misleading and created a very uncomfortable situation for us. From the description, it stated we would have a choice of dishes to make and the class would be approximately 3 hours. Upon arrival we were told there was only the Eggplant Parmesan to be prepared, no other choices were included as stated by your description. We were not sure what it meant when we had to choose an eggplant course or the cantuccini. We thought it was a starter course, then main dish like pasta or pizza. We had to complain about the confusion and disappointment that we would only be making eggplant parmesan which would take all of 30 minutes for $94.00 a per person! What a waste! Fortunately, the manager was sympathetic and explained that it was Viator who did not translate the course offering and experience adequately, and made an accommodation for our group and added a pasta course. Also, we did not know that a dinner at their restaurant was included! We expected that we would just be eating what we made, in the class. You should be very apologetic to Diacarroni Agritourism for their thoughtfulness and generosity for making a bad situation better. I will be very hesitant to recommend or use your service again due to the lack of specific information on what to expect.

    Beyond exceptional!

    Very well worth it! The chef, Mauricio, and Ariel who guided our class, we’re both beyond excellent. A very friendly staff, gorgeous setting, delicious food. They treated us like royalty. We certainly made some friends here and highly suggest you sign up for a class here. An amazing experience

    It was fantastic first we learned all about the flour why we use it and how it works. After we started making our own pizza dough. And later finish it and they bake them. While we enjoyed their own wine wich was so good! We defenitly want to visit the place again!
