Cortona Cooking Classes

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

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.

This was a fantastic cooking class with Chef and his family. It was the highly of our trip and a core memory for my family. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

A wonderful evening learning and preparing a delicious meal and, most of all, enjoying the amazing hospitality. Everyone made us feel like part of the family and we had a truly marvelous experience. Highly recommended.

Chef Dandy and his family were so beautiful and informative in this cooking class. It takes place in their home which makes the experience even more authentic. We truly enjoyed the experience and we felt so at home.

Had a fun evening with “Chef Dandy” Dedalo. He was well prepared, explained why things are done a certain way in a very entertaining manner. We got to meet his Mom, and the class actually took place in his own home, or in his own kitchen, to be precise, which added a lot of “authenticity” to the evening. We had a lot of fun, laughed a lot and needless to say, the meal we created tasted “eccelente”.

We participated in a class of 7 to improve our skills at making ragu, pasta and tiramisu. It was a fantastic way to spend an evening. Lots of homemade wine and olive oil, beautiful home setting and Chef Dandy was a very patient and skilled teacher. A very social evening and it was fun to meet interesting people from different places. I feel a lot more confident tackling homemade pasta and tiramisu in the future. Thanks to Chef Dandy and his mother for a wonderful experience! Highly recommended.

I could write three pages about our positive experience today but I’ll respect your time and simply say that it’s a must stop in your Tuscany/Cortona trip. Claudia, our host, kindly shared her experience and insights to prepare a entire meal. We were fortunate enough to share time w/her husband, her very attentive staff and her world experienced father (a famed Italian chef and cookbook author). Be sure to take the time for a tour of the farm that support the company’s use of pork, milk, wine olive oil. It dates back to the 16th century.

We wanted to plan an “experience vacation” to Italy. Our visit to Fattoria Bistecca was the perfect addition. Ilaria was the perfect host. Her kitchen was very beautiful and inviting. She is a very talented chef, very personable and fun! The meal we prepared was fantastic! It was just the four of us, so it was a very intimate gathering....perfect in every way!

I joined a cooking class at I Gustasapori Tuscan. Although I came alone, I was really enjoyed because there are many people in the class. We had a chance to participate in every dishes since the ingredients preparation until the end. This is an authentic Tuscan meal that everyone should try.

Claudia guided us with great skills and sweetness through the creation of homemade Tuscan pasta, porkloin with a wonderful cream sauce and the most delicious Tiramisu. We can highly recommend this cooking class.
