My family and I had the best time making our own pasta from scratch! Ilenia and Sara were awesome instructors. They were kind, patient, and so much fun! After making the pasta, we were taken to a beautiful restaurant, where a chef cooked the pasta and added three different sauces. Unfortunately, we had car trouble which caused us to be late arriving. The owners of the Agriturismo helped us with our car and they accommodated our delay!! The staff turned a bad event into a vacation highlight! Thanks Corsi di Pasta Fresca!

Very interesting to make and eat our own pasta. It was really fun and our teachers Lucia and Rosa were very sweet and did a good job! However it did not take too long, and when they were serving our pasta, it seemed like it had to go very fast. The dishes (3 types of pasta) followed with each time only 10mins in between, and after we immediately had desert. It was as if they wanted us gone. We did not leave though, we just changed tables to have a relaxed drink after our diner, but after an hour or two they still did not come to take our drinks. We had to go get a waiter to actually get our order. The end was a bit less, but the course itself was definitely good.

What a great experience we had with a wonderful teacher, Elenia! Her teaching style and personality was so approachable and fun! We were treated royally by staff and felt a strong sense of accomplishment by the end of the day. In addition we got to spend time with several nice people from other countries. A+++

It was everything we could want in a cooking class. The setting on a family owned organic farm. Lucia made the class fun, easy and understandable with her explanations. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. When we finished, we relaxed on patio with our wine and while the staff cooked and then served our 3 pasta dishes. Afterwards we were served dessert. A relaxed pleasant day in the countryside!

Definitely worth the money! Would recommend this to everyone as part of the whole Tuscan experience!! The view alone was enough, let alone the experience and takeaways included

We had a fabulous time and learned how to make many kinds of pasta. The staff was amazing, as were the views of Tuscany. What amazing place!

We had a wonderful time making pasta & enjoyed the whole experience. The property is beautiful & lunch afterwards where we ate our pasta had an amazing view. I would definitely recommend taking this class. My only suggestion would be for the instructor to explain the process to us as we go along & do it with them. They would show us before ahead what we had to do then we had to remember how to do it. The whole staff was so kind & helpful but we probably wouldn’t have needed so much help if we did it at the same time as the instructor. Just a suggestion.. but overall it was a great time & would do it again!

It was great ! I would highly recommend it, the staff is great, the location breath taking & Ilenia was amazing !

Lovely pasta making class with a beautiful view. Our instructor (Amelia? I can't remember exactly) was lovely and her English was excellent, despite her apologies. We learned how to make fresh pasta dough and to shape it into ravioli, tagliatelle and maltagliati (the "scraps"). Then the chef cooked it, adding difference sauces to each one, and we enjoyed it with wine on a lovely terrace. Only one drawback -- we would have loved to learn to cook, or gotten recipes for the sauces that went with the pastas.

Lucia sharing the story of the agriturismo and also sharing her story in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Dinner was delightful and the wait staff was attentive. We even had musical entertainment that was lovely.
