Definitely worth it - My husband and I booked this tour last minute and no regrets there. Wish we had done it sooner! Gloria was amazing! She remembers everyone’s names and funny. Gloria and Carmella made this an unforgettable experience. We definitely want to try a different tour with Gloria when we come back. The farmhouse by the countryside looked like something out of a cooking show. We had a blast learning the recipes!

10/10 would reccomend - This was the most fun way I could’ve spent the afternoon. Our instructors Luca and Lucia were wonderful! Luca couldn’t have been more entertaining and both of them were patient kind teachers taking time to help each one of us. The property was simply gorgeous with lovely views. Would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Luca we love you!

Amazing and definitely recommend! - This was so fun! The tour of the central market was great, our guide Luca gave us lots of recommendations and we went back the next day for shopping. Luca was super entertaining and we had lots of laughs. The food we cooked was fantastic, and the location of the class was beautiful. The only thing I didn’t love was that we all shared the cooking and eating, so you weren’t eating the exact pasta you made, but otherwise it was perfect.

Italian Masterchefs!! - What an amazing experience. Gloria was an incredible guide and was very informative and entertaining throughout the whole day. It felt like an authentic Italian experience, starting the day at the central market gathering the ingredients and then preparing the ingredients with an Italian Nonna as your chef. Carmella was full of energy and guided us through making different Italian dishes (with Gloria translating). The end product was bellisimo and I will be trying to recreate these dishes at home. Mangia! Mangia!

An amazing experience! - From the moment we met Lucca in Florence we knew we were going to have a fantastic day! He was funny, very entertaining and extremely engaging. He taught us so much about traditional Italian cooking. Carmella was wonderful and funny too. It’s that’s to choose our favourite part of the day!!

A Highlight Of Our Trip!! - This cooking class was the highlight of our trip! Luca and Carmela were charming, entertaining and knowledgeable chefs who taught us to make a variety of dishes. It is all very hands on, from the purchase of ingredients at the Mercato Centrale to the class itself and included tasty treats, wine and a gorgeous setting. This is the second time I have taken the class and I will do it again next time I am in Florence. It is a day well spent!
