More than just a cooking class! - Antonella was amazing. Her home is beautiful with a spectacular view. She was so welcoming, it felt like we were with family. She taught us how to make some very classic dishes. She gave us so much advice for our time in Florence. We had wonderful conversation with her about so many things. This really was our favorite experience in Florence.

Cristina makes the class a cherished experience - The class with Cristina was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. She was gracious and charming and the setting was like a postcard. We enjoyed every aspect and modestly believe the meal we prepared was one of the best during our Italian visit.

Wonderful dining experience! - Our evening with Antonella was fantastic! She was so kind and welcoming to our family of four that we instantly felt right at home. It is easy to see her passion and genius for fresh Italian cooking. We made the most delicious recipes which included ingredients picked from her lovely Tuscan garden. Our teenage boys loved making their own pasta from scratch. Dining al fresco on Antonella’s patio, we all wished that we could have stayed longer, chatting with Antonella and her husband Cosimo in their beautifully artistic home.

Pasta making class in a lemon grove - It was a magical experience. Our hosts, Christina and Paulo were lovely, warm, and welcoming ; and the view was perfect. We made pasta and the ate our work. The Grandkids, the big kids, and the grandparents all made a specially memory. I recommend this experience 100%

Exactly what I never knew I wanted or even existed. - Christine and Paulo were the most charming hosts. The food we, and they, cooked was delicious. And, they made our experience together so easy and wonderful. Kids and adults alike loved every minute. It was the highlight of Florence. The setting “in a lemon grove” was breathtaking. It was a rare treat to visit and eat in a calm, serene setting overlooking Florence.

Antonella’s class was a highlight of the trip! - Our class with Antonella was a highlight of our trip. She was warm and inviting, opening her home to us. We had a great time making tagliatelle and tiramisu. She passed on her knowledge and expertise of pasta making. We had a wonderful lunch on the patio overlooking the hills outside of Florence, beautiful!

Pasta making during sunset - Cecilia was a wonderful host and teacher. She taught us how simple and fun making pasta can be, and delicious as well (obviously). She also has a great home with amazing views of Florence during the sunset. We highly recommend!
