The academy is much more than a cooking school where you can learn traditional dishes, it is an authentic experience that blends tradition, local flavors and Tuscan hospitality. We stand out for the careful selection of ingredients of the territory, many of which are zero km.
Position is the very framework of experience.
Immersed in the medieval streets a few steps from Piazza del Campo, it gives our guests a unique and suggestive atmosphere where every experience is accompanied by the beauty of Siena.

A good start with a glass of prosecco. Mixed and rolled out 3 different shapes of pasta. Constructed our own tiramisus. We went next door for lunch and ate the pastas that we made, including our individual tiramisu and had a good wine tasting. More than enough food and drink. Our instructor Dennis and the staff at the restaurant were great! Ended up sitting at lunch for quite a while and having conversation with the other participants, about 10 people. Would definitely recommend.

Abbie from Morocco was so fun! we thought we had booked a group, but it ended up just being the two of us which is just fine. Three types of pasta and tiramisu. Learned a lot.

Great value, great experience! We thought we were going to make peposo, but didn’t. However we did get to eat some and it was delicious, as was the pasta, each with a different sauce. Tiramisu was to die for! They happily substituted white wine for the reds that were provided, as I only like white. Considering how much we got to eat, this was also a great deal!

This was our most amazing Viator experience ever. The cooking class was so much fun. The chefs were amazing. We learned to make three different pastas and Tiarmisu. We then went to the restaurant and had the best meal using the pastas we made that we have had in all of Italy. Not to mention the fun we had with the others in the class. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Much more than we expected. Lots of food and wine. You won’t need dinner after this, you’ll need a nap.

We enjoyed our first cooking class with Dennis so much we decided to take a second class. What better way to get out of the 95 degree heat while learning some new Tuscan dishes in the cool AC! This class was a little longer cause we made several additional dishes to complete a traditional Tuscan four course meal. Our meal was delicious and the four wine spearing was excellent. Dennis was gracious enough to accommodate my wifes diet. This is a great cooking school for both beginners and advanced cooking enthusiast. These two cooking classes were the absolute highlights of time to Siena to witness the Palio!

Such a fun family experience! My teens love to cook & so I reserved this for our family - my husband said it was his favorite part of our activities! Made ravioli, gnocchi & other noodles - then we got to eat it all for dinner after they were cooked for us! So fun! Highly reco
