Best Pasta Class!! - This was my first cooking class for my husbands birthday making fresh pasta and it was amazing! We learned how to make 3 types of pastas, others in the class were great, a few also had a chance to cook a bit with the chef, had some wine to pair with our meal as well! The chef was funny and very knowledgeable about the techniques and how to created the base sauce for each pasta dish! Highly recommended!!

Brilliant, relaxed, delicious! - Such a great way to spend an afternoon. Andrea our host/chef was excellent - casual but attentive, super knowledgeable and accurate but not arrogant. Great wine, chilled vibe, only 8 of us. Seeing these simple recipes prepared properly and in person really gives you the confidence to go home and do it yourself. Sometimes experienced chefs can be a bit intimidating, but not here. He was clearly highly experienced but chilled, patient, entertaining and helpful. The experience/ability across our group was mixed but it worked for everyone - Andrea kept it simple enough for everyone to enjoy and complete the recipes, but if people had more advanced questions he was happy to go into more detail/off-curriculum. Delicious food, a great way to slowly eat a lot of pasta as we made it and learned about it! Authentic recipes and high quality ingredients as you'd expect. Truly exceptional, really pleased. Highly recommend if you are new to pasta, but equally if you are an experienced cook and want to enjoy a casual class atmosphere where you can pick up some inside Italian/Nonna-only tips and hacks over some wine, this is great for you too!

Great experience would recommend! - The class was great, educational, and fun! The pasta was delicious and they send you home with the recipes. It was very interactive and questions were encouraged so we learned enough that we were able to go home and recreate the recipes.

Amazing experience! - Attending "The Art of Pasta Cooking Class with Nonna's Recipes" was an extraordinary experience that exceeded all our expectations. My wife and I were instantly charmed by the warm and inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a cozy kitchen. The class was not just a cooking lesson; it was a deep dive into the heart of Italian cuisine, guided by the authentic and time-honored recipes of Nonna. The instructor's passion for pasta was infectious. They expertly guided us through the delicate processes of kneading, rolling, and shaping, turning simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces. It was a hands-on experience, filled with laughter and learning, where every fold and twist was a step closer to understanding the art behind these traditional dishes. What impressed us the most was the perfect balance between fun and education. The tips and tricks shared were invaluable, providing insights into the subtleties of Italian cooking that one can't find in books. We not only learned how to make pasta from scratch but also discovered the history and culture behind each dish, making every bite more meaningful. The highlight of the class was, of course, tasting our creations. Each dish was a revelation of flavors, perfectly cooked and seasoned, a testament to the high-quality ingredients and expert instruction. The class culminated in a delightful meal, where we savored our handmade pasta, accompanied by a selection of fine wines, in the company of fellow enthusiasts. It was a moment of true joy, a celebration of the love and labor that goes into Italian cooking. We left with full bellies, warm hearts, and a newfound appreciation for the art of pasta making. This class is a must-attend for anyone who loves Italian cuisine or simply enjoys the pleasure of cooking. Bravo to the entire team for creating such an unforgettable experience!

A MUST do! - We love this cooking class so much! It was the perfect blend of cooking demonstration, hands-on, learning, and socializing with others. The food was the best we had in Italy and loved learning how to make and cut the noodles ourselves. Our family had the best time… such a wonderful memory!

A must do in Florence! - What an amazing experience! A must do when visiting Florence. Marco was great. Very good at explaining what to do and keeping the whole class engaged. When I states free flowing wine it really is…. Even better you get a recipe book that you can use at home and the pasta has been perfect on every occasion!
