Cooking Classes With Giada

The best part was being invited into Giada’s home and learning about her family. She was well organized and hospitable. She was very hands on and answered all my questions. The food was delicious and easy to replicate.

Our cooking experience with Giada in her home in Cortona was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.

We had such a wonderful experience with Giada in her pasta, panzanella, and tiramisu cooking class! It was the perfect balance of instruction and hands-on cooking, so everyone had a chance to learn while staying actively involved. We picked up a variety of practical kitchen techniques that we’ll definitely use again. The class was also very kid-friendly. Giada kept things moving at a great pace, making it engaging for both adults and children without ever feeling rushed. The setting was absolutely beautiful. We lucked out with our summer timing and were surrounded by thousands of blooming sunflowers, which made it a picturesque place to cook. Afterward, we loved gathering in the charming dining space downstairs to enjoy the meal we had prepared together. Everything we made was delicious. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’re excited to recreate these dishes at home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable Tuscan experience!

Giada is a fantastic cook and was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Very Hands-On and we learned the skills to go home and make it again. The extra treat of the fried calzone dessert just topped off the day. We would most highly recommend you try this and the location is beautiful

Giada is a fantastic cook and a wonderful person to spend time with. We not only learn how to make the focaccia and pizza, but we learned a lot of other things about Italian cooking and recipes that she shared. One of the best experiences we've had on this trip and when we would do again

A lovely afternoon and lunch making pasta and two simple sauces. Enjoyed the thoughtful instruction and also provided great local shop provisioner tips to create some of our dishes for friends and eat fabulously, in an unfamiliar kitchen.

We had a wonderful time cooking with Giada. She welcomed us into her home and shared her family’s recipes. The instructions were step-by-step, hands-on, and fun. Would recommend to all.

I went with my husband and we had such a wonderful time. Giada was warm, patient, and explained everything clearly, even showing us variations of the same recipe to change flavors and ingredients. We had fun and learned so much about Italian cooking. We loved the experience and highly recommend it!

We did the pasta cooking class with our family (girls ages 19, 13, and 6) and everyone loved it. So much fun and we’d love to do it again if we ever go back. It was the highlight of our trip. And she was so helpful on the area in general.

My fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Giada. We had many memorable experiences during our time in Italy; our cooking class/dinner with Giada was at the top of the list. We highly recommend!"

The location and house were beautiful with beautiful views. Giada and her husband could not have been nicer or more welcoming. We loved everything we made. We had 5 of us girls and she included all of us and made sure we each got turns helping and preparing the meal. The food turned out phenomenal. We had gorgeous views, endless laughs and fantastic and delicious food. What more could you ask for? "

During our holiday we took a cooking course with Giada. What a wonderful experience! We received a very hospitable welcome at Giada and her family's home. Very special to cook and eat together at someone's home. We have created delicious dishes with fresh ingredients. Giada was clear in her instructions and very helpful. We enjoyed the food together with Giada and Jacopo. Nice wine was served with dinner, and Jacobo made delicious coffee after dinner. We regularly make the recipes we learned from Giada at home. After the cooking course I had some questions about the flour that was used, Giada was very friendly and helpful. In short: a great experience, learning to cook delicious recipes and enjoying a delicious meal with an incredibly sweet, warm Italian family. Highly recommended!"

This class was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany! Giada welcomed us with warmth and made us feel right at home in her beautiful countryside kitchen. We learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch—kneading, rolling, and shaping it ourselves—and the Tiramisu was out of this world! Everything was hands-on, informative, and so much fun. The ingredients were fresh, the instructions were easy to follow, and the final meal was better than any restaurant. Highly recommend this experience for anyone who loves Italian food and wants a genuine taste of Tuscan hospitality!

Our evening with Giada was a pleasure. The meal was fabulous and so was the visit to Giada’s home!

It was an incredible experience! Our whole family loved it! Giada was patient and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!!!

My friends and I had a wonderful time learning how to make bruschetta, pasta and tiramisu with Giada and her father. Their home was so warm and comfortable and the meal was delicious. We all agreed this was one of the best things to do while in Italy and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants a true Italian experience.

Unbelievable experience. Such a wonderful host and we had the opportunity to learn how to make bread and pizza. Returned to the US and last night we baked focaccia for the whole family with much success. Such a great experience and so friendly. We will be back again for sure. Next time Pasta. Huge thanks for our best afternoon in Italy.

We had a wonderful time! Giada is a great teacher! Thank you for a memorable experience!
