This is a great experience of learning about pasta, make pasta and eat what you made along with others. Enjoyed the entire experience. Our pasta teacher was amazing in her instruction and interaction. Wine was excellent at the table and juice for kids. Couple wine tasting at the end was also nice. It’s a great location near the famous bridges. Worth the money spent. I would highly recommend this experience.

If you’re looking for a fun, unique cooking experience in Florence, THIS IS THE ONE! Camilla was our chef and after watching a five minute movie on pasta, we jumped right in to making three types of pasta. We enjoyed dinner as a group of ten with different red wines and a fabulous dessert. It was one of the highlights of our four days in Florence!!

Fresh Pasta Lesson

We chose this experience for a friend's bachelorette party, and we had a lot of fun. Our instructor was very skilled and paid close attention to everyone, not leaving anyone behind. The best part was eating the pasta we had prepared together. Only drawback: Viator did not communicate the request for a lesson in Italian to the people organizing the course. We only discovered upon arrival that the lesson would be held in English, but the situation was managed optimally by our instructor, who patiently repeated the steps we were struggling to understand. I highly recommend this experience; the venue where the lesson was held was also very beautiful!
Amazing Experience!
