This was a fabulous experience. We not only learned about authentic pasta making, but tried new combinations of food, for instance fennel and olive oil. Camilla and Sanuel were gracious hosts, welcoming us into their home, talking to us about life in Italy, and picking herbs in their herb garden. Our group of 4 agreed this the a highlight of our trip.

Incredible experience! Our hosts were so welcoming and enthusiastic. Amazing to have a more personal experience with a local family as we made 2 pastas, sauces, some spritz. We had a lovely dinner with their family with delicious wine and the food we made! We learned from the family, laughed with the family, and had so much fun cooking and eating with them as well. Highly highly recommend.

This family was amazing. The class was so fun and they were so sweet how they showed us everything and made it simple and fun. We walked through her neighborhood with her before and she showed us her local shops for food. They love talking and teaching about local food. And they wanted to get to know us! They called us friends for life. Such a wonderful experience. If you are in Florence and want to learn from really good cooks and really nice people this is the experience for you!

We had such a wonderful time cooking and getting to know the family! We loved everything from shopping at the outdoor market, stopping to do cheese and wine tasting, and really getting to know Camilla and Samuel and learn about their life in Florence. Not to mention the food and wine were absolutely delicious!!!!! An A+ and a highlight of our trip to Florence

The most memorable part of this experience was sitting down with the family and having dinner together! Sharing stories, laughing and having great conversation. The whole experience was so beautiful to me. It felt like I knew them for years! I am so thankful I made new friends!

We couldn’t have imagined a better “cooking” lesson/dining experience! From the moment we walked into their beautiful, warm and inviting home we didn’t feel like guests we felt like long time friends. Such genuine hospitality and generosity. Both Samuel and Camila were so patient in teaching us how to make ravioli and homemade pasta. They were so generous in teaching us how to taste delicious olive oil and trying wines, bread and vegetables- so fresh and delicious! We will remember this always!

My family and I traveled to Italy from the US. This is the first thing we did when we landed and we absolutely loved it. Learning how to make pasta in a traditional Italian home was an amazing experience. I can’t wait to take the techniques I learned home and make pasta from scratch. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home and helping us make life long memories!

We spent an amazing afternoon with Camilla and Sam in their home!! We are travellers from Canada on our first trip to Italy. Instantly from walking into the door we were welcomed like family! My girlfriend and I made memories that we will cherish forever in the short hours we spent cooking, sharing stories, laughing and enjoying some amazing homemade dishes! We cooked Tagliatelle al Ragù di Pesce & Ravioli all while sipping local Tuscan vino… after preparing the dishes, we enjoyed the fruits of our labour which made it all the better. Everything tasted amazing! After eating we sat and shared stories, enjoyed some homemade cookies & liqueur and laughed some more. We would suggest this experience to anyone traveling through Florence! Thank you Camilla & Sam, Tony & Ceara

We had such a nice time with Camilla, Samuel and their family! My parents, husband and I joined them for their in-home cooking class and they truly made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed plenty of food together including the pasta we got to make ourselves, which was delicious but not too challenging to make. Overall, although we came for the food and it was DELICIOUS, the company and conversation was the best part!

If I could rate this experience a 6 stars I would!! Had no idea that we would actually be physically walking into a locals home and making all kinds of homemade stuff, including ravioli and several types of pasta right from their kitchen. They let us try three different methods on making the pasta noodles (one that dated back to hundreds of years ago). Great conversation, great wine, and even had the opportunity to meet both of their kids. An extremely generous and very caring and friendly family. This experience was completely private. We ate at their table all together but if it wasn’t cold outside, we would’ve eaten in there spectacular garden and been able to pick fruits and vegetables right from their garden. They shared and showed us their secrets to great pasta and sauces and had us try and taste her grandfathers olive oil. Wish we could have bought some to take home. So much better of an experience than with a large group in a factory like setting!! Highly recommend!
