What To Expect
In a fascinating historical palace, just steps from Ponte Vecchio, you'll experience Florence's best fresh pasta school—an adventure that combines culture, taste, and conviviality, awarded for three consecutive years by Viator (Experience Award Winner 2023-2025) as one of the world's best tourist experiences. Guided by a professional instructor, you'll master three types of fresh pasta: fettuccine, ravioli, and tortellini, becoming the protagonist, kneading and shaping it with your own hands. This isn't simply a cooking class—it's a transformative journey weaving together theory, tradition, and creativity. Each participant prepares their pasta, then we cook everything together to share like an Italian family. While our tomato sauce simmers in advance, watch as butter and sage sauce is prepared fresh before your eyes. The 3-hour journey culminates around a large convivial table savoring your creations, followed by chocolate salami dessert with limoncello. You'll receive a recipe booklet and enjoy wine tasting from our production—with the option to purchase and ship bottles to your country. Perfect for individuals, couples, groups of friends, families, students, and corporate teams.
