We had a magical time with Simone and the assembled motley crew. Not only does Simone create culinary chemistry but also social chemistry. And the food is so yummy, you're liking the pots afterwards. Oh, and you could say Simone is on a mission! Since an Italian chef dies every time someone uses cream on pasta, by teaching the world on how real pasta is done, he is also trying to save his own hide! ;-)
Great Immersive experience

Thomas, not only a great chef, but a gifted instructor as well! While there were 12 of us, Thomas had a sharp eye for hygiene, making sure there was nothing “special” in the pasta. His instructions were clear and concise, his patience unending - making sure everyone felt comfortable proceeding to the next level. The 12 of us, walking in as strangers, ending as friends, learning the basics of pasta making 101, shared wine, 3 types of pasta dishes and our lives to make an unforgettable evening. Thank you Thomas, the folks from Auckland, Florida, California, Texas and Indiana for making a wonderful experience.

Don't let the location (a storefront in a slightly sketchy area) scare you away. Once inside, this experience was one of the highlights of our Italian trip. Extremely well-run, Tomas was super skilled in engaging with all of us AND in cooking. He was fun, easy-going, and endearing. The meal was AMAZING. Do this class! You will be so glad you did.
An amazing experience with a wonderful chef!

This was hands down our favorite experience in Florence. Chef Marco was very kind and knowledgeable, and made the experience appropriate for people at any skill level of cooking. We got to learn a lot about the art and love that goes into making phenomenal pasta. Learned new recipes and skills to take home.
