“Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.”
A core memory experience. The host is amazing and the whole experience was magical. The cooking went very smooth and I actually learned a lot and I’m ready to show off my skills back home. I can’t recommend this experience enough. I like how they are respectful to your diet and they made sure they separate my food from the others to accommodate my request.

his class was an absolute highlight of our trip. Everything was fantastic: the food, the wine, the atmosphere (the view!), the instruction—it was all amazing. Stefano (and his mom!) were gracious and knowledgeable, and he even gave us detailed instructions to make the pasta again at home + a list of favorite spots in Florence. What an amazing experience. If you’re looking for something authentic, this quite literally cannot be beaten

I don't normally do reviews but as someone who likes to read other people's recommendations and reviews. I thought I'd help a few fellow planners. Highly recommend! Stefano & Mamma Daniela made the experience very enjoyable and were very welcoming. an Authentic experience which you would struggle to find else where. Would do it all over again. Thank you Stefani and Mamma Daniela for such a great experience.
