Wonderful cooking class - My sister and I took the cooking class during our time in Italy and it was a wonderful experience. Katia is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Not only is she an excellent chef, but she creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, feels like you are spending the afternoon cooking with an old friend. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Tuscan cooking class - Easy pace. Everyone gets to prep and cook and eat family style. Food was delicious and hosts were great! Beautiful views ! Unless you know the roads I don’t recommend driving!!!!! Get a driver to take you and find the way.

A MUST DO: True Italian Home Cooking Experience - My friends and I went for a cooking class and had an amazing time! Located in the Tuscan hills with incredible views, the house and property are relaxing and inviting. Fulvio was a joy as he taught us traditional italian recipes and answered any questions about how to make our favorite italian dishes. The class was just our group, creating a comfortable and intimate environment. We loved Fulvio and his niece so much we stayed after class to chat and drink wine. I enjoyed myself so much, I barely took pictures. If you’re looking for a cooking class with a true at home italian experience, this is a MUST!!

Favorite experience of our 2 weeks in Italy - My husband, who does not enjoy cooking and truthfully only went because I wanted to take the class, said this was his ABSOLUTE favorite experience out of our entire 2 weeks traveling all over Italy. If that does not say how incredible Katia and her hospitality are then I don't know what does! She made us feel like her family from the second we got to her home. She got to know us and created an intimate experience where we could learn, make mistakes, and have fun. My husband and I, together, have been making her recipes ever since we got home. I cannot recommend this experience enough, do not miss out!

A memorable experience with lessons you can do at home! - This was our second time at Il Vicario in 10 years. The first class was with Fulvio and the second with Katia. Both were outstanding! We learned so much that we have continued to practice at home. It was a very memorable and enjoyable afternoon.
