Absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish this is incredibly well done. Marco was an outstanding chef and teacher. It was a very hands on and informative lesson followed by tasting amazing food and perfectly paired wine. We learned so much during the tour and had an amazing time!

My son and I loved the class. It was instructive without pandering and full of helpful tips while remaining fundamentally lighthearted. The wine flowed, the food was delicious, our fellow guests were super nice, and we left with a list of all the best insider spots to dine, drink, and shop in Florence. We also asked Filipo, the sommelier, for a private vineyard tour and dinner, which I took with my husband the following week and which was equally terrific!

This experience was worth every penny. I had so much fun. I went solo because my fellow travelers didn't want to do it, but I was welcomed by everyone and made friends quickly. The food was great. The chef was entertaining and fun. We got the cookbook emailed to us after so we can duplicate the recipes. I loved this experience!

So much fun with Chef Michele - he was patient, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Format of the class was great, you get in, introduce yourself to others in the class, grab some sparkling wine and then get to making pasta. Then when you're done with the noodles, you segue to the stove area, where more wine education and drinking continues while Chef makes a bunch of amazing sauces, talking you through them as he goes. The only difficulty of the whole evening was figuring out the address (it's a tad confusing), but otherwise it was a highlight for our time in Florence.

A wonderful experience. We learnt lots and had fun at the same time. Got to make 3 different types of pasta and then enjoyed some wonderful dishes with the superb sauces including Gorgonzola and leek which was a revelation! The icing on the cake was the wine pairing with a sommelier who shared 3 Tuscan wines that made a perfect accompaniment to the delicious food. Such a great evening and I’m now inspired to try making pasta at home.

Pasta Class was amazing experience! The chef was nice and fun plus an expert teacher for the pasta we made was the best pasta we had on our family trip to Italy! I would recommend this as a must for anyone traveling to Florence!
