One memorable experience making pastas and tiramisu from scratch and eat it with a wonderful selection of wine. Gabriel and Valentino were wonderful hosts, welcoming, accommodating, patient and very friendly. Gabriel as a house sommelier explained and let us taste a few different wines. He was passionate about the wine and I learned a lot. Valentino was very engaging and funny. The class was a bit over 2 hours and we spent about an hour to enjoy the meal we created. They had a few patrons who were seated in the same space where we made the pasta. Quite interesting set up and I loved how they integrated the space. Can’t wait to go back for another meal (prepared by the chef next time :) as we saw a raving review about their food.

I cannot say enough good things about this experience! Everyone in our family, including a 12 year old and a 9 year old, enjoyed learning how to make pasta and other signature Tuscan dishes. And our hosts were very gracious and entertaining. The food is fantastic as well! Highly recommend this experience as part of your visit to Florence!

The cooking class and experience was amazing! They were really great and explained everything in detailed. It was such an awesome experience and a really nice restaurant to have a cooking class. The end result of eating the food we made was great too!

Gabriele and Valentino were outstanding instructors/guides. Come hungry--we made 3 different pasta dishes and a tiramisu. The wine pairings are very good and the restaurant is so cute. We were a group of 2 paired with another group of 2 in a small group, and all got to work at the same work station to make our delicious meal. A must do in Florence!!!

An excellent and original experience. Genuine Italian chefs guided us through the pleasurable creations of pasta, gnocchi and tiramisu. Enjoyed with new friends after our own creation was cooked that same evening.
