This experience will be the highlight of your trip - I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this cooking class in Tuscany! From the moment we arrived Luca was amazing and made the whole experience that much better. The setting was stunning — surrounded by olive groves and vineyards — and the kitchen was the perfect mix of rustic and elegant. We learned to make traditional Tuscan dishes from scratch, including fresh pasta, bruschetta, and a delicious tiramisu. Everything was hands-on, and I loved that we used fresh, local ingredients. After cooking, we sat down together to enjoy the meal with local wine, laughter, and new friends. It was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Italy — an authentic, warm, and delicious experience. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Tuscany who wants to connect with Italian culture through its food! Can’t say enough about Luca and his team at the villa it was a flawless experience from start to finish. Going shopping at the market was a great experience too, meeting all the locals.

The highlight of our Italy trip! - Best Tour! - What an incredible value for a truly fun experience in a stunning setting! I highly recommend booking this cooking tour with Luca & Erika. Both animated and very entertaining cooks. They made the experience very enjoyable and memorable. The cooking lesson was fun and easy to learn. The food was delicious and abundant. We made/had bruschetta bread w/ red wine to start, followed by Bolognese w/ pasta we made from scratch, pork loin w/ potatoes, ending w/ tiramisu dessert we individually made as well. The property was STUNNING that overlooks the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany - something out of a ROM COM as my friends back home described it. The tour included a shuttle bus ride from the train station downtown to the farm house and back. You leave the tour with a full belly and heart, a diploma, apron, recipes, and wonderful memories & pics. This was definitely the highlight of mine & my sister's trip to Italy overall. Thank you!

A wonderful experience in Florence - It was my very favorite experience during my time in Italy. I throughly enjoyed both Luca and Erica, very professional and talented in their presentation. The atmosphere they created for learning and the sense of friendship between all the participants made it a wonderful time together! I would do this again! Grazie!

A Great Day of Cooking, Drinking and Laughing - On our 2+ weeks traveling through Italy this is one of the most fun and informative excursions we did. I never knew making pasta was this easy! Lucia and Luca were great fun and the food we made was delicious. They were engaging, stopped and explained the what’s and why’s all the while making you laugh. If you are in Florence and want to experience a cooking class in a great setting this is it! We highly recommend it! And if you are lucky you could be on Luca’s TV show.

Amazing cooking experience in Italy! - This was a fun and entertaining experience, one of the highlights of our trip. Initially I wasn’t sure about such a large group class, in the end it is what made it so much fun…meeting and cooking with new friends. We met Luca for our shopping tour of the market, he is so so funny! We loved the entire cooking experience with Luca and Erika. I highly recommend this experience while in Florence.

Best thing to do in Florence! - This class was amazing! It had a bit of everything…great food, lots of laughs, a trip to the local market and lots of wonderful memories. But Luca, our teacher, stole the show! He is hysterical, engaging, and knowledgeable. If I could give this class 10 stars, I would.
