Wonderful cooking experience - What a great outing! From buying the food we prepared for our meal to the chefs who worked with us. Luca and Lucia were so fun! The Villa we cooked in had the most picturesque setting. Met so many lovely travelers. Would absolutely do again!

Wonderful experience in Florence - This class was one of the best things we did on our trip to Florence! Lavi and Carmela were so welcoming and engaging. It was so much fun learning and participating with everyone. The food was also amazing! We can’t wait to try and recreate the recipes at home. Definitely recommend this class!

A must do tour! - Easy to find pickup location. We loved Luca and Carmela! It was a great time to go to the market- not too busy. The farm was sensational. We learnt heaps and the food was amazing. Plentiful and delicious. We will definitely be making our own pasta back home. A must do tour! Highly recommended.

An absolute MUST if in Florence!!! - What a fantastic time!! I couldn’t recommend this experience more whether it be with family or as a couple. Lavi, Carmela & Lucia are incredible and very welcoming. Their vibrant energy is contagious! The place itself is gorgeous and very picturesque. The tour of the Mercado was beautiful and we learned so much! The cooking itself made me feel like a chef and I will be making all these dishes once I return home thanks to the guidance of these fabulous women! If you’re hoping to learn and drink some delicious Chianti Classico, look no further!

Great day trip in Florence! - The experience was fantastic with Lucca and team! Going through the market was great to see how all the vendors knew Lucca and explained their history and products, and how they’d be used later and in other dishes. The estate of where the actual class was held was impressive with amazing views. Lastly, the food was so incredible! Highly reccomend!

What a duo - hilarious - This cooking class experience was actually amazing and Luca & Lucia were fantastic. Luca was absolutely hilarious and he just made the day amazing. I would’ve normally given a 5 star rating which is what they would deserve however for me when we made the desserts (I don’t eat coffee) was given another option, which would’ve been great however they were no more ingredients left to make a dessert and wasn’t given the opportunity to make it so didn’t have dessert - which was actually fine. My star rating would be 4.5/5. Highly recommend this class and you have to have Luca as your guide/cook and Lucia was absolutely gorgeous, such a wonderful chef too - great duo team
