First of all we were the only students in the class - Gustavo, was a fabulous teacher, with a bit of humour, lots of knowledge and helped us with our technique, making sure we were executing the recipe as professionally as possible. On each course we learned something new ( if we had previously made the recipe.). We enjoyed making the recipes he had chosen for us and the food was delicious! Very clean, high end equipment, and a professional cooking class. If you want to learn how to cook Italian I highly recommend “In Taovla Cooking Academy in Florence! “

This cooking class was really engaging and Jackamo was entertaining and a patient teacher that made it so fun!! Our family of 8 had a varying level of cooking skills, and all of us were an integral part in making the 4 course meal. We learned how to make gnocchi from scratch, which was really cool!! I would absolutely recommend this class!! What a fun way to create memories in Italy!

The cooking instruction was informative and entertaining. The food amounts were generous but we wondered where all the leftovers ended up. ( Hopefully not in the trash). Three bottles of wine for 15 guests fell short of the promised all you can drink.
