    The class was really fun, organized and very informative too. We learned some helpful tips that we can use when we go back home. The chef was entertaining and knew how to keep everyone engaged. Very organized and clean working environment. Highly recommend if you come to Florence to try if you have some spare time from site-seeing. We made three types of pasta and a dessert and it was all so fresh.

    Amazing experience!
    Kelsey_D, May 2023
    I loved this class so much! My husband and I immediately bought some flour after the class to bring back home with us so we could try our hands at the recipes we learned. The instructors were great and encouraging. Only thing to note, if you do a morning class make sure to eat breakfast first because it takes time to cook the pasta and sauce. We made the mistake of not eating breakfast before and were starving by the time the pasta was served. But it was so delicious it was worth the wait!
    Response from Host, May 2023

    Fun experience cooking pasta
    k_t, Apr 2023
    Making the pasta homemade I enjoyed that the most! I also loved the instructors they were so friendly
    Fun and worth it
    Dwight_S, Mar 2023
    The Chefs were friendly, funny, supportive and helpful. It takes a minute for all of the participants to get comfortable because it’s a team effort and ofcourse we are all strangers, but by the end, everyone feels accomplished and has had lots of fun.
    Fun and informative!
    Cara_L, Mar 2023
    Great class! The chefs provided everything we needed and the class ran smoothly. We made three different kinds of pasta and sauces, all delicious. Would definitely recommend!
    Yummy!
    Jennifer_F, Mar 2023

    Terrible
    VikasKumar_T, Oct 2022
    The lack of ability to accommodate tourists is ridiculous.. trips to Europe aren’t cheap.. would not recommend. Not worth the hassle at all.
