Better than food in a restaurant! - Unforgettable Pasta Masterclass Experience! We had the most amazing time at this pasta masterclass! We learned how to make pasta, ravioli, and dessert — and everything turned out incredibly delicious. The highlight for me was the pear and ricotta ravioli – such a unique and flavorful recipe! The tiramisu was absolutely divine; honestly, I can’t enjoy the one in restaurants anymore after tasting this one. The chef was fantastic — he shared so many secrets and special tips about authentic Italian cuisine. Making pasta from scratch was surprisingly easy and so much fun. I’ll never go back to store-bought pasta again! The pesto sauce we made was also bursting with flavor. This experience was unforgettable, and we’re definitely coming back for another class! Highly recommended!

Warm host and recipes to we'll be cooking at home - Elena was such a welcoming host from the moment we arrived. Shopping for fresh food in the market was a delight as she explained what was in season, and how to prepare some of the local fruits and veggies. Once we arrived to the studio Elena and the entire staff were so attentive. They made all the recipes easy to follow, and fun to follow along. Eating at the end was one of the best meals we've had during our entire trip to Italy! My wife and I give this the highest possible recommendation, and cannot wait to try some of these recipes at home!

Florence Food Studio - Culinary Experience - This cooking class was an excellent addition to our family Italy vacation. Giorgio proved to be an engaging and entertaining host and provided a welcoming environment to our family. The Florence Food Studio was a beautiful setting, and our family thoroughly enjoyed making our own pasta, sauce and desert. Giorgio rules!
