Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Florence Food Studio - During our family vacation in Florence, we attended a cooking class at the Florence Food Studio, led by the talented Chef Meri. This experience proved to be an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we entered the kitchen, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by Chef Meri and the team. The atmosphere was inviting and made us feel right at home. The class covered a variety of traditional dishes, including homemade pasta, Panzanella salad, lightly breaded chicken, and Tiramisu. Chef Mair guided us through each recipe, providing valuable tips and techniques that made us feel confident in recreating these dishes at home. Chef Meri shared fascinating anecdotes about Florentine culinary traditions, ingredients, and the significance of each dish in Italian culture. This enriched our understanding and appreciation of the food we were preparing. The hands-on nature of the class allowed us to actively participate in every step, from kneading the pasta dough to assembling the Tiramisu. The Florence Food Studio, under Chef Mair's expert guidance, provided an authentic and unforgettable culinary experience that we will value for years to come. I highly recommend the Florence Food Studio to anyone seeking a unique and engaging way to immerse themselves in Italian culture. The combination of Chef Meri’s teaching, the intimate setting and the focus on storytelling make this cooking class an unforgettable experience!

Better than food in a restaurant! - Unforgettable Pasta Masterclass Experience! We had the most amazing time at this pasta masterclass! We learned how to make pasta, ravioli, and dessert — and everything turned out incredibly delicious. The highlight for me was the pear and ricotta ravioli – such a unique and flavorful recipe! The tiramisu was absolutely divine; honestly, I can’t enjoy the one in restaurants anymore after tasting this one. The chef was fantastic — he shared so many secrets and special tips about authentic Italian cuisine. Making pasta from scratch was surprisingly easy and so much fun. I’ll never go back to store-bought pasta again! The pesto sauce we made was also bursting with flavor. This experience was unforgettable, and we’re definitely coming back for another class! Highly recommended!
