Fantastic experience cooking with Stefano and team. Stefano was an absolute pro - making everyone feel included and smart in the kitchen. He took special care to practice Spanish with my girls (he’s from Argentina if I recall correctly). So much fun learning to make pasta - really memorable experience in Firenze!
Memorable experience with granddaughters.

We had such a wonderful time. It was fun to share a Tuscan cooking experience with our granddaughters. Instructors were fantastic (and patient) and participation was encouraged and fun. Plus, the resulting 4 course meal was incredible. Thank you MaMa Florence's entire staff for a memorable evening.

I attended a cooking class (fresh pasta) for a corporate event. I had a lot of fun, the guys are super helpful as well as prepared and I must say that the final result was even higher than expected :) I definitely recommend to spend a different day and, why not, learn something new

Absolutely loved our 4 course cooking class! Chef Matteo was so easy to work with and taught us so many things that we’ll be able to do at home. The food was amazing and one of our favorite meals that we had while touring Italy. Thanks again Chef for an experience we’ll always remember!
