Luigi was awesome - it was a little hard to find the house but the experience was fantastic. Luigi was extremely knowledgeable about Italian culture, cooking and why some items go together and others actually counteract each other, taste wise. His personality was awesome as he was very funny and entertaining through the class. the food was fantastic to eat and i learned so much from him about how to cook Italian and things i have been doing wrong all my life. Thanks, Luigi, for a great time.

Classic Italian dinner - Katia welcomed us into her historic farmhouse where she talked about the farm and local culture. She was warm and welcoming and made an enjoyable experience. We prepared traditional Italian recipes and enjoyed every bit of it. Throughly enjoyed the evening. Would recommend it. (Katia, looking forward to receiving the recipes..) Katia

Perfect Pasta! - We loved working with a small group and Katya was the perfect instructor! I have struggled with pasta making in the past but she showed us a way that was so simple it was incredible. She also showed us easy but incredibly tasty sauces. Very recommended for a complete Tuscan experience.

Cooking with olive oil - Wonderful experience! Eight of us made pasta from scratch, also bruschetta, several sauces, and several other dishes. We learned so much our heads were spinning! Oh, maybe that was from the lovely wines we drank with our meal!! A fantastic day!!

Can't say enough good things about this cooking class!!!!! - If you're looking for a cooking class I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a fun, educational, yet relaxing experience. Out of the 2 weeks we spent in Italy and all the different activities and sites we visited I can honestly say this was among the top 2 activities we we did. The food was great, the chief was funny, knowledgeable, and super gracious. After this class I was excited to get back home and put what I learned to use.

Fun and delicious cooking class - From the moment we arrived at Katia’s beautiful location outside San Gimignano, we were treated like family. Katia greeted us with a smile and seemed genuinely excited to spend the afternoon with us. She accommodated our dietary restrictions with ease and walked us through several delicious Tuscan dishes. She clearly possesses a deep knowledge of and passion for Tuscan cuisine. We loved spending time with her and would definitely do it again if we are ever in Tuscany. This was truly a memorable highlight of our trip.
