Customer Reviews
My partner and I had such a fun and engaging experience! Everything was hands-on, with clear instructions and detailed explanations throughout. Amber was incredibly helpful and patient, stepping in right when our pasta-making skills needed a little guidance. All the food turned out absolutely delicious — and, of course, we loved the bottomless wine! Highly recommend this experience!
My family and I took the pasta cooking class with Alberto during our visit to Florence. I could not recommend this experience more! Alberto was an amazing teacher, and the food was delicious. Great value for money, and an unforgettable experience. Very tourist friendly, was taught in perfect English!
This was a wonderfully fun and educational class. Held in the back of a beautiful restaurant, we made tiramisu and 2 types of pasta. Then we ate the raviolis we made with butter and sage and the noodles with a red sauce. So delicious. Prosecco was available throughout the class and our guide, Narghess, made the whole experience. She was exited to teach us and so funny and personable. She truly made it so great!
