We loved our pasta cooking experience with Simone! Simone was a patient teacher, talented chef, and great personality to share an afternoon with. We learned how to make three types of pasta and sauces and are ready to create them at home. Thank you for the confidence and the recipes! The food and wine and experience were all amazing. “Just a touch” of awesome! Highly recommend this experience in Florence.

I booked this event only because I had to cancel another due to the weather. I am so glad I didn’t miss out! Chef Davide did an excellent job! Not only did he explain all of the ingredients and even some of the history behind the ingredients, but he had a great sense of humor. The food was amazing. The wine was amazing. The group was amazing. I later recommended this to a number of people I met during my vacation and I hope they booked this event. You can’t go wrong do it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making class. The chef gave us good instruction, answered our questions, and shared with us some of his personal experiences and background. The facility was nice and centrally located. We enjoyed sipping wine while learning techniques and in the end we all ate several delicious pasta dishes!

Chef Marco was such a great instructor and very funny and entertaining in the process! He made learning so much fun and really taught us a lot. The class is very hands-on and the 3 pastas we made were absolutely delicious when paired with the 3 different sauces we were taught. Honestly, it was the best dinner we had in our week in Florence so far—and that says a lot because the restaurants here are amazing! We loved all the wines served as well and the unexpected gift of being able to take our aprons home. Highly recommend!

We made 3 different pastas and 3 different sauces. All were great and we had an excellent teacher that let us keep our aprons. Oh yeah, they included unlimited wine too.

This was my first cooking class for my husbands birthday making fresh pasta and it was amazing! We learned how to make 3 types of pastas, others in the class were great, a few also had a chance to cook a bit with the chef, had some wine to pair with our meal as well! The chef was funny and very knowledgeable about the techniques and how to created the base sauce for each pasta dish! Highly recommended!!

Mary_H

Such a great way to spend an afternoon. Andrea our host/chef was excellent - casual but attentive, super knowledgeable and accurate but not arrogant. Great wine, chilled vibe, only 8 of us. Seeing these simple recipes prepared properly and in person really gives you the confidence to go home and do it yourself. Sometimes experienced chefs can be a bit intimidating, but not here. He was clearly highly experienced but chilled, patient, entertaining and helpful. The experience/ability across our group was mixed but it worked for everyone - Andrea kept it simple enough for everyone to enjoy and complete the recipes, but if people had more advanced questions he was happy to go into more detail/off-curriculum. Delicious food, a great way to slowly eat a lot of pasta as we made it and learned about it! Authentic recipes and high quality ingredients as you'd expect. Truly exceptional, really pleased. Highly recommend if you are new to pasta, but equally if you are an experienced cook and want to enjoy a casual class atmosphere where you can pick up some inside Italian/Nonna-only tips and hacks over some wine, this is great for you too!
