Amazing cooking and dining experience. - The family teaching pasta making was gracious, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We had a wonderful experience making several types of pasta and as a bonus seasonal squash risotto and tiramisu. In addition to learning several valuable cooking principles we learned a lot about Italian family lifestyle and culture.

Italian family cooking. - We booked this tour to experience Italian cooking. We were treated just like part of the family absolutely loved the experience. Would definitely do it again and would recommend it.
I would love to keep in touch with this family and invite them to stay with us in the United States when they visit.

Must-Do Family Experience in Florence - If you visit Florence with children, or even without, you MUST join this family in their home for a wonderful evening learning, cooking, and tasting all about Italy! This evening cooking an authentic meal was so much fun - they have thought of every detail to make your experience perfect, and have prepared in advance all the necessities for a delicious and relaxing evening. The pumpkin filled with herbs from the garden was roasting when we arrived, and the broth cooking on the stove - this made our effort to prepare the risotto simple, yet we got to see how to do so. We made pasta from scratch, using the tools to flatten and cut it, and enjoyed every bite once cooked! Our children were able to play with their incredible children, and were grateful to share in games with their toys. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how to give your family this exceptional and ‘once in a lifetime’ experience!

Must-Do Family Experience in Florence!! - This will be the highlight of your trip!!! We felt so welcome cooking an authentic Florentine dinner with this lovely family in their home. They truly opened their home to us, including their beautiful garden, children’s toys and games, and all the things in their kitchen we should taste to have a real experience of their life. Our kids are ages 6, 8, 10, and 12, and my parents (ages 78 and 81) also joined. All 8 of us had a fantastic evening, which is difficult to keep everyone across the ages happy for an evening ;) We cannot thank them enough, and look forward to returning the favor when they visit us some day!

GREAT AUTHENTIC ITALIAN COOKING CLASS - Camilla and her husband Seban are very welcoming. My family of 5 did a cooking class with them and we had an amazing time. They welcomed us in their home and taught us about their culture and cooking. We had a lot of fun and the food was delicious. Even is you are not a cook, Camilla took the time and taught us step by step how to make both our pasta and tiramisu. I'm still thinking about how good the pumpkin ravioli was. All the ingredients were super fresh and locally grown. Highly recommend if you want an authentic family style cooking class in Florence.

Delicious, informative, fun! - The most memorable parts was literally the entire experience. Our hosts were engaging, easy to get to know right away and the cooking instruction was wonderful. None of us had ever made pasta, or tiramisu. We learned, laughed enjoyed great wine and food. It was an honor to be invited into their home, meeting their 2 children and sharing the evening together. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Incredible and authentic Tuscan experience - If I could rate this experience 10 stars I would! We had an incredible time with Camilla and Samuel. They taught us how to cook different types of pasta and served us delicious wine with appetizers. They were very accommodating with our one year old son and helped to keep him entertained. They have a lovely and welcoming home and I cannot recommend this experience enough!
