Best Experience in Florence, and Best Food in All of Italy!!
Victoria_M
, May 2022
This cooking class was by far the best part of our time in Florence. Our chef John (Giovanni) was incredible, so fun and knowledgeable! We had a small group of 7 which was I think just luck, but it made the class so intimate and special and we became friends with the people we spent the morning with! But the best part, the FOOD!!! Everything was so easy to make, but also completely brand new to us. We made 2 pastas and 2 sauces and it was the best meal we had the entire 2 weeks in Italy. I could not believe it, it was incredible. We cannot wait to make it again at home so soon!! I would do any class with this company, the kitchen was clean and easy to get to, and the experience was worth every penny. I cannot wait to come back!!!

Tomasso was wonderful! Very personable and knowledgeable. Vendors in the market knew him well and were welcoming which added to the experience. The cooking instructions were well planned and full of take away techniques like different things to do with a whisk and how to cut an onion with the least amount of tears. Pasta making was fun and and the outcome was delicious! This was the highlight of my Florence experience.

Great way to spend half a day in Florence. Our chef, David, was a great leader and helped us through preparing a wonderful lunch. The market tour was nice as well, learning about how Italians typically buy their food. Making Tiramisu was much easier than I expected.

Lovely start to our Honeymoon

Catarina and Tomasa were wonderful teachers for our cooking class! We were able to experience purchasing our ingredients from the Centrale Market and were able to try some wonderful cheeses from one of their favorite vendors. Once we got back, Tomasa showed us how to cook the ragu and make the pumpkin filling for our ravioli. After that, we worked with Catarina on the tiramisu which I normally don't like, but this one was fantastic! Next up we worked on making our pasta and learning the techniques to make tagliatelle and ravioli. After putting everything all together, we were able to sit down with the rest our class for a family style meal and wine. Had a wonderful time and also heard they do a pizza class!
