A magical and delicious evening! - My family of four were hosted by Lucrezia and Christina for a private pasta-making class and the experience was magical. The setting, an old farmhouse nestled into the Tuscan vineyards that provided our wine for the evening, was breathtaking. Lucrezia was warm and welcoming, and both she and Christina were excellent instructors. We gathered our ingredients from the property’s garden and then made two types of bruschetta, a zucchini salad, two types of pasta, and tiramisu for dessert. Lucrezia and Christina kept all of us engaged, laughing and learning the whole way through. Highly recommend this experience!

Amazing Cooking Class with Francesca - Francesca is one of a kind!! We did a private class with four and felt like members of her family in her home. She was a thorough and helpful teacher but also very kind and just delightful. A true hostess.
If we come back to Florence, we will cook with Francesca again!

A one of a kind cooking and eating experience! - Francesca was a tremendous teacher and host! The pasta and tiramisu we made and ate were the best we had in Florence. We highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in immersing themselves in the local culture. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy another meal with her, combined with the truffle hunting experience!

Florence cooking class - Wow our cooking class was nothing short of amazing !! Cecilia our host, welcomed us into her home so warmly. We had a small group which was perfect as we could all engage in the experience. Learning to make pasta and desert Cecilia explained everything as we went and was so knowledgeable, her recipe was unique , with freshest of ingredients. We had fun as we learned and chatted. Sitting down to indulge in ravioli , tiramisu and local wine all with the most stunning view over the City of Florence . Getting there was also easy with a short walk from the train. We left with beautiful memories a wonderful experience and hands down the best pasta we had in all our travels of Italy . Thankyou so much 🙌🥰

Best Experience During our Florence Visit - We had an utterly wonderful evening with our fantastic host & cook, Cristina. She picked us up in Florence (by Santa Croce) and drove us to her home in northern Florence. The home was gorgeous and she took the time to teach us how to make two excellent pasta dishes and tiramisu. She was friendly and a wonderful teacher. This was truly a treasured memory for the rest of our lives. I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to cook & make a great memory!

What a wonderful experience! - Our host was Donatella. She was welcoming and wonderful. Myself and my daughters enjoyed the lesson and absolutely enjoyed the food! The home cooking lesson not only provided a lesson on making homemade past and tiramisu but also having dinner with a family in Florence.

So disappointing! Chef did not show - Don’t trust this company! My family showed up and no one was there. I had the phone number to the Chef, Maria and she told me that she had canceled the session. She told me that I should’ve been notified. I checked my emails even junk mail and nothing was sent to me. To make matters worse I called my credit card immediately and they credited the entire amount however, just a few days ago Viator recharged my account! Now I am again notifying my credit card. Viator keeps saying that they informed me of a change in chefs yet I have no email stating this at all, my credit card company tells me that Viator is claiming that they sent me an email on July 10 yet I have no email on July 10 Telling me of any switch or any new Chef. My family traveled from New Jersey to Florence Italy… We flew we traveled by train and then we walked to the designated location as told. I will never be booking with Viator again as they are not committed to customer relationships. They made a mistake and they are denying it. It’s unbelievable that I have to deal with this right now .
