Romantic Tuscan Cooking Class - This homemade pasta cooking class was pure magic. My wife and i were one our honeymoon and this class was so special, romantic, and full of joy. Annamaria and Valentina were amazing hosts. We had a lot of fun cooking, learning from them and laughing with the translation from English to Italian. We spent 10 days in Italy and this cooking class was one of our favorite experiences. Our lifestyle in the U.S. is very fast pace and it’s rare for us to cook and sit and enjoy every aspect of making and having dinner together. This is a class i’d recommend to anyone going to Italy, because you learn to make pasta from scratch but also about their culture and what making food represents to them as well as making food with love to those you love. This cooking class, and this experience was so full of joy, laughter, love, and of course, delicious food. Annamaria and Valentina were so sweet and special to us, played music for us and they even helped us catch the bus from Chianti back to Florence. I’d love to have this experience again and again. My wife and I would even love moving to the countryside of Tuscany and just change our lifestyle. Thanks so much to Annamaria and Valentina!!

Beautiful experience in Tuscany - My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The women who led the class were warm and so kind. We also enjoyed the individual attention. The appetizer spread was beyond gorgeous and so delicious, and we loved learning how to make three kinds of pasta and a fun zucchini dessert. The outside space where we ate our lunch was so pretty as well. It was fun eating the pasta we prepared. I can’t really critique much since we enjoyed all of it but maybe I would suggest to have working wifi so our language could be translated effectively to the women. We would love to come back and make more food with them !!

Cousins Cooking Class - Annamaria & Valentina were very hospitable & instructive in our Tuscan Pasta making class. We learned how to make 3 different fresh pastas, then cooked 2 of them to eat, plus a dessert we prepared and ate. Additionally, they had prepared a typical Tuscan charcuterie board for us to enjoy as the first course. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we all spent with them & would do it again.

Delicious and authentic Tuscan cooking with wonderful hosts. - An incredible home cooking experience with friendly and generous hosts. We had such a wonderful time in the beautiful kitchen and enjoyed eating what we prepared in the garden. The hosts were so welcoming and did a great job teaching us how two make two types of pasta and a very interesting local dessert.

A highlight of our trip - This was a highlight of our time in Tuscany. Anna and Valentina were the most welcoming hosts! They were kind, patient and wonderful teachers. The food we made was light, fresh, and simple to prepare so it’s a great class for all skill levels. Lunch outside in Valentina’s yard was perfect. Highly recommend this class!

Perfect daybin Chianti - This is the pasta class everyone dreams of. Annamaria and Valentina are the most beautiful, kind and patient teachers. Always smiling and laughing, we were made to feel very welcome. We learnt three different pasta shapes, a couple of sauces then a dessert. All the while there was antipasto under a beautiful mulberry tree. I was planning on proposing to my partner on the way home but given the class the ladies put on this made for the perfect experience to do so. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Tranquilo!
