It was so wonderful for Maria to share her home and family with us for a few hours. We felt so welcomed and Maria’s instruction was outstanding. We would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence! Thank you to Maria and her wonderful children for an experience we will never forget!
Our private cooking class with Carlo was the highlight of our trip! If you enjoy being immersed in the culture of locals then this class is a great choice. We spent the evening in Carlo’s home kitchen making pasta and sharing conversation. You can tell Carlo takes great pride in his work and is an exceptional cook. We have been in Italy for over a week now and this was definitely the best meal! If you wonder if Carlo is the right person to book with, look no further! It doesn’t get better than Carlo!
Our cooking experience with Tamara and Alfredo exceeded all of our expectations! We loved the whole experience! Learning to make homemade pasta was something we definitely wanted to do while in Florence. The recipes were delicious, and by the end of the evening, Tamara and Alfredo felt like family. The tiramisu that they served us was the best that we had during our whole vacation in Italy! We can't wait to recreate the recipes on our own. My husband and I highly recommend this cooking class to everyone! Thank you again to Tamara and Alfredo - hope to see you again some day!
Oh my goodness. This far surpassed the expectations we had. It was my 19 year old son, my husband and I. Cecilia was exactly where she said to meet. She was witty, and had an ease with the locals at the market that was apparent. She drove us in her car to her house, where we fixed several different regional dishes. She was patient, and made cooking fun for all of us. It was just a magical day, and I would highly recommend to anyone to do this tour to enhance your trip to Florence.
This was truly a one of kind experience. My two friends and my husband and I made pasta in a local family’s home as well as tiramisu and they invited us to stay for dinner with their five children. It was an unbelievable experience to truly sit and talk and drink wine with someone so different, yet also similar to us. Gave us a better window into the Italian culture.
This was an unforgettable experience thanks to Francesca Speroni Cardi! She welcomed us with an open heart into her amazing home and shared her skills with us in a fun and engaging way. I'm not a cook, so for me to enjoy being in the kitchen is a Herculean feat and I enjoyed every second. You not only enjoy the meal and dessert you made, but Francesca had amazing appetizers and wine to share which complemented the experience perfectly. This is a MUST DO experience if you have the time while in Florence! Thank you, Francesca!!
We had a superb experience that surpassed all our expectations. Chef Andrea showed us how to make tiramisu, and we made raviolis and tagliatelle from scratch. His English is good and he explained what we should do but did not do it for us. Neither of us had made pasta by hand before but it came out perfectly. Then it all disappeared inside us along with some excellent Tuscan wine! Well worth the price.
Cecilia breaths passion for Italian food; I really enjoyed this workshop and I have learned lot's of things about Italian food (brusschetta, fresh pasta pomodoro and tiramisu). Thanks Cecilia!
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!
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!
