Must do - Luca and lady we cooked with were the best. Must do. Luca made the day. He has a one of a kind personality. The views were spectacular. Food we cooked was amazing and my girl can’t cook.

Mother/Daughter Tuscany Trip - On our trip to Italy, my daughter and I knew that a cooking experience in Tuscany was a must. I found this particular one via a Google search and it did not disappoint!! Luca and Lucia were so gracious and fun, and the setting was spectacular. I had always been intimidated by the thought of making pasta, but the difference in having fresh pasta vs the dried, store-bought pasta is totally worth me trying it at home now. EVERYTHING we made and ate was so delicious, and I will be trying all of the recipes again soon. I HIGHLY recommend this tour! (for Luca - "We love you, Luca!") :)

Cooking class and tour - Absolutely worth it!! Luca was so fun and knowledgeable. Loved visiting a local market, selecting our ingredients, and cooking at a beautiful estate just outside of Florence. Lucella and Luca were the best!!

Luca & Lucia created a magical day for our group and we had the best day. - This cooking class experience far exceeded our expectations. Starting the day with shopping for our meal ingredients at the Mercado was a great adventure. Luca and Lucia were excellent and well skilled at their craft. We give this 5+ stars!

Just Book It :) - Definitely book this tour! Starts with a tour of the central market where we bought our ingredients, then we were shuttled up to a beautiful Tuscan farmhouse where we hands on learned how to make several dishes. Very informative while also very entertaining! Luca and Lucia were the kindest and most fun-loving people. And after we made the food we all sat down and ate it together with the most amazing backdrop of the Tuscan hills. We have no regrets and would 100% do this all over again. And besides the delicious food, you will also make new friends :)

Flavor of Florence - Starts out with a guided tour through the market. We then moved to the the location for the instruction, which was a beautiful indoor/outdoor location. The lady and gentleman instructors were marvelous and the gentleman was a comedian. This was a dream of my wife's for many years and the hosts and staff did not disappoint. We made several dishes, Including making pasta, bolognese and tiramisu from scratch. All the recipes for the dishes made were emailed to us. One note, but not a complaint. You are dropped off at a different point than the pickup point. We used that as a way to explore Florence before our train trip back to Rome. Highly recommended!

Entertaining, educational, excellent! - My dad and I had a great time learning some Italian recipes and cooking techniques from Luca and Lucia. We learned a lot and were also thoroughly entertained. I think the price was a good value, especially because transportation was included. It was special to get out of the tourist area for a little while to enjoy the countryside.
