Megan_L

Such a fun cooking class! Great for big groups! Spoke in both Italian and English and made sure everyone was engaged

Richard_R

Charming instruction. Engaging and informative format but manageable, without pressure. Astounding value in that either the class or the distinguished dinner cuisine and service was worth the full price of participation. What a wonderful way to spend a late afternoon and early evening in Siena. Simply could not be more welcoming and satisfying.

Delicious dinner with handmade pici pasta and pork chop! 10 out of 10! However, the only disappointing point is you may be seated away from the cooking table as not enough seats available, but eventually we are still very happy and had a lot of fun!

This experience is not to be missed! If you have the time while in Siena please do it. We all made pasta and learnt how to prepare and cook 3 other local dishes with volunteers helping the chef. It was all very professionally organised but fun and multinational. The four course meal was delicious and excellent value overall with plenty of red wine as well. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great experience! Chef Francesco and his interpreter kept the evening lively and informative. Recipes were way to follow and we look forward to trying them at home. Best part was enjoying the fruits of our labor with friendly people

What a wonderful experience! Great instruction, great like-minded students and a fantastico meal, and at the end, wonderful wine to accompany our meal. Much thanks to our instructive team for a fabulous evening!! We look forward to trying to reproduce the meal after our trip! And much thanks to our group … you know who you are … for enjoying, crushing, stirring, laughing and sharing … salut!! 😊

This was an amazing experience. The instructing team was very skilled, kind, and effective. The class went very smoothly. Everyone who wanted to do hands-on work had a chance to do it and the final result was an excellent meal. I would do it again anytime.

Everything about our experience was wonderful, from the moment we walked in the door and we greeted. We had a amazing time. Everything was understandable and the food we prepared delicious. Chef Francisco was amazing as well as his assistant interpreter.

Mark_B

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed learning how to make each item on the menu although most of the experience is watching and helping occasionally. We did make the pasta from scratch. The other items would have been impossible to cook individually but we were given instructions and were able to take notes so we can give everything a try once we get home. Everyone seemed to have a great time and the meal was excellent. The chef and facilitator were awesome and fun Be aware that you have to find parking and walk about a 1/4 mile to the facility if you are driving. Even if you take a taxi you still have to walk a ways to get to the class. Allow extra time especially if driving. Some reviews complained that the chef spoke in Italian with an interpreter. That is true but he also spoke very clear English as well.
