Join the owners of the restaurant to create an authentic Tuscan lunch. Along the way discuss the history of cuisine in Tuscany, which traditions have persisted and why, and complete the experience with a selection of local wines matched to each course.
Our (restaurant’s) philosophy focuses on tradition and getting back to the roots of authentic Florentine cuisine. As such, we will share some of the recipes passed down through generations of our family. Furthermore, we will give you insights into the cooking techniques that with respect to tradition enhance and highlight the quality and flavors inherent in the ingredients.
Together we will prepare a four course meal; appetizer, handmade pasta, main course and dessert. The menu will be based on seasonal traditions and the availability of fresh produce.
After all of your ‘hard’ work, sit down, relax and savor the fruits of your labor. Enjoy your four course lunch with a selection of traditional Tuscan wines.

Excellent Day Cooking with Friends

5.00We had a wonderful time cooking with Monica and Anna. They were both so warm and welcoming that we felt we made two new friends that day. There food was delicious and tailored to our taste preferences. The day flew by so quickly because we were having so much fun. We cannot wait to go back and see them again!
Immersive experience and a must do in Florence

5.00Immersive is really the adjective to describe this. You arrive at the restaurant for 9 am to find Anna and Monica waiting for you with a smile. Take a 15 minute walk to Sant'Ambrogio market and let the experts take your through their favorite vegetable stalls to select the best ingredients for the upcoming meal. The first part of the experience isn't just a quick stop at the market but a thorough experience with non-stop background information on what we're buying, why, and how it will be used. The fun really starts back in the kitchen. Spend a couple of hours preparing the courses with Monica and Simone. This part is involved and will satisfy those who want to get their hands dirty in the kitchen. Monica walks you through every step and patiently guides you through the preparation process. She doesn't skip over critical elements and wants you to be involved in her passion. The fireworks come when you sit down to eat the dishes you prepared. They will taste delicious but you may be biased since you'll be so proud of your day's work. Could not think of a better way to spend a half day in Florence. A true 5 star experience.
A+++ -- this experience was the highlight of our trip
