A great local cooking experience with a great family! - We were looking for a local cooking experience in someone's home and we found this great family. They were so welcoming and we learned how to make different types of pasta and sauce. It was well worth the money. We had some great wine (which they made themselves and it was delicious). We ate in their garden which was so cute and cozy. They gave us a little history of florence and it was just an overall great experience. Would definitely recommend if you are wanting a true local cooking experience. And it was in walking distance to our hotel!

The most amazing experience - Camilla and Sam were absolutely incredible hosts. It was my partner and I’s favorite experience we did in Florence. They truly make you feel like family and welcome you into their home and make you feel like you have made new friends for life. They even went out of their way and helped us book a boat tour for the day. Truly the kindest people you will ever meet. Don’t hesitate to book this amazing and authentic experience.

A must-do cooking class while in Florence!!! - What a great personal experience! Camilla and Samuel were kind enough to open up their home to us and two others that we did the class with. We made homemade ravioli and tagliatelle. We explored her herb garden and produce garden, which we were able to use in our homemade sauces! We felt like members of the family by the time we finish cooking. This is highly recommended for anyone visiting Florence.

A Must-Do Experience in Florence - This was perhaps the most favorite experience we had on our Italy trip. My husband and I were welcomed into a lovely family's beautiful home where we learned to make tagliatelle and ravioli from scratch with fresh ingredients. We felt comfortable and were treated like family. Camilla and Sam were wonderful hosts, and we met their sweet children as well. It was so interesting to learn about their culture and share ours as well. We highly recommend this experience and would absolutely do it again on our next trip to Florence!

Highlight of Our Trip - The highlight of our trip! Camilla and Samuel were the most amazing hosts and guides during our time. We made three types of pastas and sauces plus spritzes. They opened their home for us and couldn’t be more welcoming. This is an absolute must do if you are visiting Florence. We can’t wait to come back.

High point of our trip - The whole experience was amazing. We loved leaning how to prepare pasta and some sauces. We enjoyed the time we spent with the family, talking to them about their experiences and telling them ours. I was the high point of our trip to Florence.

Better than expectations - We enjoyed our pasta making experience more than we could have imagined. The atmosphere was so relaxed. Our hosts, their home and their gardens were so welcoming. We learned how to make pasta and the importance of sourcing ingredients fresh and locally. The conversation was easy and our pasta dinner was delicious. We left feeling as if we made new friends and gained a new skill. We highly recommend this authentic experience.

Fabulous - This was a fabulous experience. We not only learned about authentic pasta making, but tried new combinations of food, for instance fennel and olive oil. Camilla and Sanuel were gracious hosts, welcoming us into their home, talking to us about life in Italy, and picking herbs in their herb garden. Our group of 4 agreed this the a highlight of our trip.
