品味佛罗伦萨：市集之旅、手工意面和美酒

The instructor/chef was friendly and welcoming when we arrived. We learned all ways to make different kinds of pasta. The stuffed one was my favorite. Enjoyed wine during the experience. Everything tasted great; made it look so easy to do.

Simone was our chef and we had a blast! Learning to make the different pastas was so fun, as was tasting the various sauces. Can't wait to make these again at home!

My mother and I had an absolute blast at the pasta class! Simone was an excellent teacher and he was so fun! Your choice of red or white wine. We got to make 3 different shaped pastas. Simone then showed us how to make 3 sauces to go with each of the pastas we just made. Then he cooked us lunch with our homemade pasta. Highly recommend!

This was so much fun. Definitely worth it. Great food and a fun instructor. Would highly recommend.

All three of us are in our mid-seventies and we booked this class printing off all of the instructions and directions to the class location while at home. We arrived at the location listed on our reservation 15 minutes ahead of class as requested. Five minutes before the actual class time the chef teaching at that location started taking roll. We were not in his class at this location! He called the other location and told us this was a 10 minute walk across the Arno and set our Google maps to the location. It took us 22 minutes to get there and we discovered that there were four classrooms at this location of about 20 people each. We were surely twice the age of any of the other attendees. The chef and the class was fun and as were all of the other students. We discovered later when we checked our email that a message was sent at around 11:50 PM about the change of our class location the night before.

My family had the best time taking this cooking class and was a highlight of our vacation, including one of our favorite meals. Andrea was such an amazing chef, a great teacher and very generous with my children - ages 11 and 8. We learned some great ways to cook different pastas and the sauces that he taught were delicious. My kids had a blast and the class really kept their attention. It was a great activity during the day and I am sure it would be fun in the evening as well. We highly recommend taking this class.

Chef Simone was awesome and very knowledgeable. I have taken several cooking classes in Italy, and this is the one I recommend. You are involved in the process from start to finish. We made tortellini, spaghetti, and pappardelle pasta. At the end of the class our chef also offered lists of the best restaurants, gelato, and coffee in Florence. Even though the class is about 3 hours it doesn't feel like it because Simone brings a great attitude towards teaching.

An outstanding experience. The chef Andrea, was very professional and an excellent teacher. We learnt so much, and the cooking tips were a bonus. Wine and food was superb under Andrea's guidance. If you are in Florence and want a cookery course, this is the one.

Marco (co founder and chef) was an amazing, fun, animated and talented teacher. The three pasta dishes we made were fun and absolutely delicious! We were stuffed at the end! The class size was perfect with everyone participating in the making of the pasta and opportunity for a few others to be assistant chefs during the sauce making and final preparation. Highly recommend this wonderful class!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Pasta Class Florence. Our chef/teacher Andreas was skilled, friendly, and funny, with a talent for drawing the whole group together as well as personalized attention to each student. The class size of 13 was great for getting a variety of students from all over the world but still giving us a chance to chat with our neighbors and teacher. We made three types of pasta (knife-cut pappardelle, wire-cut spaghetti, and filled mezzalune which Andreas then showed us how to turn into cappelletti). Andreas also demonstrated making three sauces (beef shank ragu, olive oil with garlic and chili pepper, and browned butter flavoured with sage and garlic), but also made a special tomato and herb sauce for the vegetarian in our group. We learned how to make pasta using just a rolling pin and knife, a pasta rolling machine, and a wire pasta guitar. We also received a PDF of recipes after the class as well as Andreas' personal recommendations for places to eat and shop. One of the highlights of our week in Florence, and I would 100% recommend for foodie friends!

Andrea was incredible! Such a warm, funny, experienced chef. The pasta we made was unbelievable yet very accessible — I can definitely see us making this food again at home. Going to the local market was also really cool!

We had an unforgettable experience at Pasta Class Florence with the amazing MasterChef Davide! From the moment we met, he made our family feel welcome and excited for the day ahead. He took us on a local market tour to handpick the freshest vegetables and chicken, then introduced us to his friend Stefano — the Cheese Wizard — for an incredible tasting experience. Back in the kitchen, Chef Davide guided us through making fresh pasta from scratch. He was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and absolutely hilarious. We were laughing the entire time while learning real techniques we can't wait to try at home. Chef Davide made the experience personal, fun, and unforgettable. Thank you for the memories — can't wait to cook with you again!

Having made pasta before, I was also skeptical as well when we first booked. By far the best experience of our entire 10 days throughout all of Italy (for all four family members)! I especially enjoyed our chef's detailed explanations of our three sauce preparations and his thorough answering of questions. Our only challenge was finding the place. We walked around for 20 min in the area, ended up at their second location, and eventually arrived 15 min late. They were awesome, recognized we were stressed, and made us feel immediately at ease upon arrival, greeting us on the street.

I don't drink or like wine and don't eat pasta, but agreed to try as a new experience. I am so glad I did! Turns out, I don't like bad wine, but I do like good wine and it doesn't have to be expensive one. Out of 3 wines we tried, white, rose and red, I liked two, white and rose. But that wasn't even the best part. Pasta making was so much fun! And it was delicious to eat and great to pair with wine. And the points on making sauces were right on the money. I am so much better at it now than before the class. This was one of the 4 best things in Florence: David, Uffizi gallery, Pitti palace and Pasta Class. Both the sommelier and the pasta chef were entertaining and funny and informative and made it a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

I love to cook but had no idea this class would be so much fun. Perhaps it was the wine or simply because our charming chef made it relaxing and enjoyable while teaching us the skills needed to make fresh pasta. We made several kinds of pasta, including ravioli, and he, with some group participation, prepared the accompanying sauces. An amazing meal was the culmination of a really fantastic lesson. Recipes were emailed after the class so you won't have to rely on memory. I highly recommend this as a part of your trip to Florence.

Simone was a superb teacher! We started across the street at the wonderful fresh market with cheese and salami/prosciutto boards with other treats. Moved onto the finest butcher stalls with meats/poultry. Simone asked me what I liked and was making up recipes as we went from butchers and spice stalls to the outside produce market. Fresh artichoke, fava beans, basil. At their lovely new kitchen across the street we spent the morning making the 3 most beautiful sauces and fresh pasta by hand. The duck ragout was to die for. The artichoke sauce was incredible. The pesto so elevated! Honestly, it was my favorite experience in Italy. I should've done this first instead of at the end of the trip because it was so educational.

COOKED THE BEST PASTA IN FLORENCE. Pasta Class Florence in Florence — cooking classes are definitely worth it. Good experience — they made you the best pasta in this class. Emilia was an amazing chef who would become an expert teacher of fresh pasta preparing and creating the most delicious pasta. No matter what, experiencing the most authentic and vibrant quality of pasta. It is great.

We took a class with Marco on August 1st and had the absolute best time. He did such a fantastic job interacting with all 11 in our group. We laughed, we cooked, and it was so much fun spending 3 hours learning how to cook pasta. I could not recommend this class enough. Absolutely the best!!!!

Andre was the most spectacular chef and host. We had the best time. This was the highlight of our time in Florence! We would 100% recommend this experience. Hope to see you again in NY!

Wonderful time with a great host who encouraged a good group experience. Couldn't recommend more for those looking to learn and enjoy their time in Florence!

Awesome and fun class. Highlight of the trip. Teens also loved the class. Food was delicious and chef was entertaining and knowledgeable.

We walked past the kitchen on our way back from a restaurant in the same neighbourhood and met one of the chefs and the sommelier outside after a class that evening. The school looked very stylish and the guys were great fun, so we signed up for a class the next evening. The small class size (10 in total) meant that this was a very personal and interactive experience, with plenty of attention from our brilliant chef and sommelier. The food was absolutely exquisite and the very high end wines perfectly matched to each of the three different recipes. We learnt a huge amount about wine pairings and also how to make incredibly good egg pasta by hand. The class was over 3 hours long and this along with the quality of the teaching and the food/wine makes this incredibly good value. Probably my favourite few hours in Florence and a new skill brought home, which we have already put to good use in a lasagne. I can't recommend this highly enough.

The instructor, Marco, was amazing! He makes you feel so comfortable and will not hesitate to assist you! And of course, his cooking is AMAZING. Best pasta I had in Florence — and I made it myself (with Marco's help)! The wine tasting with wine enthusiast Georgia was also very insightful. She is always open to answering questions about wine pairings. I would definitely recommend this pasta class to visitors. It is a great experience for friends and family!

Our travelling party, as a group of 5, cannot compliment or recommend this cooking class any higher. Everything about it is 5 star. To begin, Marco, our chef — who from the initial introductions, was welcoming, and full of knowledge. His enthusiasm for authentic traditional cooking was contagious and inspiring. We also loved the venue, arriving in this perfectly presented open kitchen, with everything awaiting and organised for us to begin our class. Plenty of space, whilst feeling like you are in someone's home kitchen. If considering doing a cooking class in Italy, do not hesitate to choose this one. Our group attended other cooking classes whilst travelling throughout Italy, and this surpassed them all without coming close.
