Cooking Classes in Florence are a Must in Italy!! - Alice and Roberta were great instructors. The taught great techniques for the preparation of the pasta, sauces and gelato while keeping the process for each as simple as possible. We came away feeling we could easily duplicate these recipes at home.

Great pasta class! - Alicia and Roberta did a great job teaching the class and showing techniques for making the recipes. It was amazing how they taught us to make 2 types of pasta from 1 recipe. The gelato we made was great!

Crazy cooking with crazy folks from the US. - The location is convenient to central Florence. The staff was very professional and made the course fun and informative. The techniques taught can easily be accomplished at home by anyone with minimal cooking skills. The wine was excellent and plentiful but we learned to not inhale while taking a drink because red wine doesn’t pair well with the dough (Both Chefs that night will understand ). The food we prepared was cooked to perfection by the staff and presented beautifully. Our group of four had such a great time that we’d do another class without hesitation. Thanks to both Chefs Thomas and Antonio.

A good activity for families interested in learning the basics of pasta and gelato making - I would give this 4.5 Stars. This company is clearly well-organized and designed to hold a revolving door of classes. The hands on portion of the class was about half of the time, while the other half is watching demonstrations. The tables are already prepared with individual stations of pre-measured ingredients for making fresh pasta. This is more of a “watch what I do, then do it how I do it” type of class. They are quite specific on how you should handle the dough, and will let you know if you aren’t doing it “right”. A few children were brought up to participate in assisting with making the pesto and gelato, while the rest of the class watched. This is understandable because logistically it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to make their own pesto, and gelato must be made in a machine. There were very good explanations about how to make each aspect of the meal, and ultimately the food was very delicious and felt very authentic. I make fresh pasta at home at least once a week and I still learned quite a bit in this class. I would definitely recommend this class if you have children who are old enough to listen and follow directions (I wouldn’t recommend if your child has a short attention span). I think this is best for families looking to learn, help make, and enjoy authentic, high-quality pasta. I think the gelato is a bit of an afterthought. They use cornstarch as a thickener, which may be authentic, I don’t really know, but I definitely could taste it, whereas I never felt I tasted cornstarch in any of the gelato shops we frequented (daily). Overall, I’d likely do it again. It’s a good way to learn about cuisine, participate in the process, and enjoy a delicious meal.
