A truly wonderful experience. My wife and I took the pasta making class and learned techniques that we use all the time now. Giacomo and Cristiana were very knowledgeable, personable, and kind. Giacomo is passionate about food and emphasized using only the highest quality ingredients. Really a great experience and we will absolutely book another class here during our next visit.

Giacomo & Cristiana were fantastic hosts. We enjoyed learning how to make two types of pasta and tiramisu. Giacomo was a great instructor! He explained how to properly make the pasta, but also how to make delicious food with simple ingredients. After we completed making the pasta, Giacomo cooked for us and paired beautiful wines with our meal. His knowledge of food and wine is extensive, and I love that he shared it with all of us.

What a GREAT experience! I can’t cook biscuits, but left class after making pappardelle and pici pasta along with my favorite dessert of tiramisu. Giacomo and Cristiana were a delight.

What a great experience! Giocomo and Christiana were gracious and patient teachers! We made two types of pasta (pappardelle & pici) and tiramisu. We then enjoyed a fabulous meal of our fresh pastas with two of Giacomo’s fabulous sauces, each paired with wine. The great meal was topped off by the best tiramisu I’ve ever had! Thanks for a wonderful lesson and a great memory!

We absolutely loved our morning with Giacomo and Cristiana. We enjoyed hearing about the history of their family, and the explanation of the methods of traditional Italian cooking, as well as being able to be fully hands on. Then to cap it all off with a lunch comprising all the fruits of our labours (along with some Giacomo flair to make it all totally delicious) accompanied by beautiful local Tuscan wine. We were there with our grown up daughter and her partner and we all had the best time, and lots of fun. Would totally and highly recommend.

This was a tremendous day with Chef Giacomo. You can feel his love for the traditions passed down from his grandmother. He is not just instructing, he is teaching and coaching with great passion. Every ingredient is organic and the skills are easy to bring home. As he says, great food does not have to be complex, just done with “Great Ingredients and Great Passion”

This class was absolutely wonderful! Giacomo and Cristiana were lovely (and entertaining) hosts and Giacomo is a great teacher! His knowledge and passion come through in everything he shares and teaches. Not only did we learn to make incredible pasta and tiramisu, but we had fun with the other 6 people in this small class and we learned so much about the ingredients, the techniques and the background behind why Giacomo cooks the way he does and why Tuscans cook the way they do. After making the pasta and tiramisu, we sat down to a delicious lunch, eating the pasta we made with sauces Giacomo made to go specially with each pasta, paired with wines chosen by Giacomo. He explained how he made the sauces and why he paired certain wines with each course. I was excited to take this class and it exceeded my expectations! I HIGHLY recommend it!!

Giacomo is very knowledgeable, but do keep in mind you will barely get to cook in the cooking class. You will knead pasta and peel potatoes, also will probably roll gnocchi. You will not be cutting or chopping, you will not use the stove or the oven. You will watch the chef cook for a long time while he speaks about ingredients. The atmosphere is quiet and unwelcoming, even awkward. you are not allowed to have your phone with you and take photos. Jokes and laughed are frowned upon. If you imagined having a good time cooking with your friends and family - this is not the cooking class for you. We take cooking classes on every trip. This is the first time we left after 2 hours out of 5, i guess the food and while at the 5th hour were great.

Giacomo is a professional chef and instructor. We learned about Tuscan traditions and best way to prepare local dishes. His wife Cristiana was encouraging and cheerful. They made a great pair. Enjoyed the wine pairing when we ate what we cooked together

Giacomo was a very professional teacher. He taught us not only how to make the recipes but why the ingredients are so important. His knowledge as a sommelier added to the dining experience as we enjoyed the meal together as a class at the end. His wife Cristiana was friendly and complimentary. They make a good team.
