We Love Luca! (And Erika!) - We truly enjoyed going to the Mercato market and learning more about the different ingredients that come from various parts of Italy. Luca was informative and funny throughout. The estate where we cooked was beautiful! Erika and Luka, as instructors, go together like Pasta and Bolognese. This tour was recommended to us, and we're now recommending it to others.

Wow! Very nice workshop - We had a very nice morning with good food and good company. First to the market and then to the complex where the cooking workshop took place. A very nice place overlooking Florence. Wow. Thank you Lucca, every time we make pasta we think of you.

Fantastic food and fun - Out of our week in Italy, this was our favorite experience! Lucia and Gloria were wonderful hosts and guides, and the food we cooked was delicious! They shared the recipes and we are actually making pasta and ragu at home this evening. Such a fun day and knowledge that will stay with us.

Fantastic cooking class filled with many laughs - We did this cooking class as part of our honeymoon and there were zero regrets! Luca and Lucia were fantastic and so easy going. They really made you feel like family cooking in their kitchen. From the market tour to the 4 courses of cooking, they had us laughing and enjoying every minute! Would absolutely recommend this experience.

Great Food Experience - Our family was traveling on a cruise, and I booked this experience for our family while our friends did the Pisa / Florence tour which we have already done. I did not realize that our ship was actually docked over an hour from Florence and had not pre planned travel so we hopped on the train, and I reached out to Viator who worked with Luca to get the address of the Farmhouse so we could just meet the group at the location. Once we arrived Luca and Lucia made for a great experience. At the end of our class Luca contacted a taxi to pick us up and return us to the train in time to make our ship departure. The food was delicious, and they provided the recipes by email once we were home. We have since cooked them for our friends several times. The location was beautiful and the set up was perfect for a cooking class. I would definitely recommend trying this experience if you are traveling in Florence.

Luca and Carmella are the best! - Luca gave us an experience of a lifetime! He has such a funny, lighthearted character and heavily emphasized during the entire experience that cooking should be fun or else you’re not doing it right — he ensured so much fun and laughter! His sous chef, Carmella, is also amazing. Though we were a big group of 20ish people, they do a great job working together to ensure everyone gets involved with the cooking process. The food we ended up making was SO good. Also the estate is just so beautiful! Thank you Luca and Carmella for an experience of a lifetime!

The most authentic Italian cooking experience in the perfect setting ! - OMG! This was the most fantastic experience! My wife Laurie had done this several years back with a friend and enjoyed it so much that it was worth the taxi ride for our family of 5 from Livorno. Luca was a hoot, starting with our walk through at the Mercato with lots of humor, tastings and explanation of local food and ingredient. Later a bus ride to the perfect family farm located just outside Florence in picturesque setting with vineyards, gardens and olive trees. Thats where we met Lucia, the sweetest lady sharing her cooking skills with us. We wined and dined on what we made from scratch, Tagliatelle pasta with ragu :-) , Bruschetta, Pork loin and tiramisu. This is a do not miss experience
