Cooking in Florence - What a brilliant thing to learn while on holiday in Florence! Arturo, our chef, was excellent at explaining and demonstrating everything. We learnt to make three types of pasta and three sauces and then sampled each. It was delicious! Great experience

Don't walk, RUN to this class! - This was one of the best things we did in Florence, and we did a lot! We learned how to make three different kinds of pasta by hand and drank as much wine as we wanted along the way. The final meal was delicious! The class was more than just fun - it helped me see that I can make (and eat) better Italian food back in the US, which I plan to do. The recipes were easy enough to repeat at home, but still very tasty. Our instructor made time to help everyone and ensured that we all had a wonderful experience. Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing this.

Learning to make pasta in Florence - so fun! - We learned to make tortellini, ravioli and pappardelle by hand on one of our first nights in Florence. It was a small group (8-10 people) of very fun folks from all over (Ireland, US, other). The chef was awesome - fun, funny, patient and of course, made amazing sauces to accompany our pastas. There was also lots of great wine for during the food preparation and the meal. We were able to bring home the recipes and are looking forward to trying to replicate the great meal we had there. We highly recommend the class!

Disappointment - I was very excited to share in this experience with my husband, however when I got to the restaurant I was a little shocked. I did not realize that there would be 24 people in our class and that there would be 4 classrooms with roughly the same amount of people in each class. I was expecting a more personalized experience. The chef was fun and engaging, the making of pasta was interesting and watching him make the sauces was wonderful, however we were directed to a QR code to scan for the recipes and unfortunately it is just their Instagram account and I cannot find the recipe for the pasta or the sauces. I have sent emails asking for the recipes, but I have heard nothing.
