The two chefs were very helpful, fun, and attentive. We made two types of pasta by hand, and helped the chefs make sauces and gelato. The atmosphere was very friendly as participants got to chat with one another over the course of two or three hours and had a lot of fun!

So much fun!! it's worth the money and time!! Chef Jon was a lot of fun and spoke English very well. He wanted us to have fun, but also wanted us to learn something new. Surprisingly, I've learned several new things (e.g. differences in pasta made in Northern Italy vs southern) We made tagliatelle, and ravioli. we helped the chef make basil pesto, and another tomato based sauce. Chef also demonstrated making gelato. Everything was delicious! It was so much fun spending time with my family but also meeting other travelers and hearing about others experiences.

This class was great. Stephen was very informative about why and how something is done. We definitely plan on making ravioli once we get home. We were on a family vacation and our adult children loved it. It was one of their favorite things!!! Well worth it!

If you are looking for a fun experience while in Florence, this is a great time! Roberta was an exceptional chef and guide with our class who were all new to pasta making. We made two types of pasta and learned the ingredients and techniques for making two different sauces and vanilla gelato. I would highly recommend this activity.
