Best Pasta Class in Florence ever! - This was the best thing we did as a family in Florence. Marco our chef was superb! There were 13 of us. 5 brits (us) and 8 Americans and we had so much fun. Marco was patient, comical, full of great tips and everything he taught us was transferrable at home. You will not find a better class in Florence than this. Our children (24, 21 and 15) all said it was their highlight of the holiday and they would definitely do it again! Thanks Marco, we loved every minute! Oh and the food that WE made was delicious x

AMAZING Pasta Class with an AMAZING Chef! - My fiance and I had been looking for a pasta class (there are tons all over) but I just couldn't decide where to go. I found many cheaper options but some of the reviews and descriptions threw me off. When I stumbled onto this course and read the reviews and saw how welcoming people had felt, we decided to spend a little extra and it was well worth it! It was one of our favorite experiences in Italy. David was great, our class was small but versatile and he communicated with everyone so effortlessly in four different languages. The pasta was served family style but the fact that the place was spotless and the chef upheld everyone at standard made the experience even better. It was truly amazing, I'd recommend and I'd return. All the pasta is great, the wine too, and you really are full by the end.

Authentic - just as nonna intended :) - Davide’s cooking class was fantastic - so much more than I’d hoped for! Not only was he knowledgeable and extremely talented, he displayed the perfect blend of passion, skill and humour. With 13 guests in our class and a variety of ages and backgrounds, he easily interacted with everyone, and made the whole experience very enjoyable. And best of all, the food was top notch!

So much fun ! - incredible experience! Andrea kept the night so fun and we loved it so much. He gave fun insight into what it’s like working at Michelin Star restaurants as he was a chef in multiple ones around the world. Would do it again next time we’re back in Florence! We were able to stay after the class and hangout with the other guests drinking wine and eating leftovers. Would absolutely recommend!

More than just a class! - This was the best experience!! The Pasta Class is in a very special class of its own! The instructor, Simone, is so passionate about teaching pasta making. His command of the kitchen and his unique way of teaching and storytelling made this experience one we will remember always. The meal we prepared rivales any restaurant in Florence!

Wonderful experience! - My daughter and I attended this class and it was an amazing experience. Chef Andrea was wonderful. He was informative, helpful, and thoroughly entertaining. We were able to learn some basic skills and making pasta and how to make three wonderful sauces. The class really showed how easy and fun it is to make fresh pasta. We got to enjoy the fruits of our labor with some wonderful wine throughout the class. I can’t wait to make fresh pasta at home now that I have a few skills. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence.
