5.00Highly recommend this activity for a large group. There were 10 of us traveling together (6 adults, 4 kids) and we had our own kitchen and chef. Matteo was not only a wonderful and patient teacher, he also provided a lot of history about the food and Florence and also provided a list of gelaterias and restuarants to try. Towns of Italy Cooking School was where the class took place and it was right near Il Mercato Centrale which is worth a visit. The school was clean and air conditioned. We made delicious pizza and gelato. There was also unlimited wine, water, and soft drinks. Kids and adults had a wonderful time. Matteo also took group pics, helped us get cabs, and shared all the recipes with us. We loved this experience!
