Pasta making in a Tuscan farmhouse! - Francy made us feel so welcome, it was like visiting and cooking with family! She was a gracious host, we actually learned how to make gnocchi, ravioli, spaghetti and a delicious red sauce as well as a sage butter sauce. We had a delicious drink and bruschetta to start with amazing views. Francy was entertaining and helpful! Our driver Andrea was wonderful and even stopped for gelato on our way back to our hotel. Book this you’ll enjoy it!

This is a MUST DO experience - This pasta class was easily my favorite experience of the entire trip. The views from the home are STUNNING. Luisa and Matteo were the absolute best hosts and instructors. It was so much fun with strangers from around the world. We shared stories, drinks, food, and laughs. The class was so informative, I can't wait to make the pastas and bruschetta at home.

Such an amazing evening... - Such an amazing evening and experience. Francy welcomed us into her beautiful home. Those Views! Luisa expertly guided us through the pasta making process. They both made this one of the highlights of our trip. The atmosphere was wonderful, and so much better than just a cooking class in a store. It felt like you were having dinner with friends.

Pasta-riffic!! - The best thing we did in Florence! Luisa and Gaya made the evening super fun! set the tone for seven strangers to become friendly and comfortable and joy filled while actually learning to make great pasta dishes. The setting on the hill put the experience over the moon!! Recommending this to everyone I know and some strangers, too!
