The Chef and her assistant were both funny, personable, joyful, and all around kind. They included us in every step of the process even as far as giving group options as to what to cook. They genuinely wanted you to enjoy your meal.

A must activity in Florence

Maura_K, Apr 2024

Outstanding class. They go shopping right before class for all fresh vegetables and meats. We made three pastas and all were delicious. A small group setting allows for hands on and learning and the kitchen is adorable. The chef was so nice, explained things well and you could tell loved her job.

Delicious

Tal_J, Apr 2024

Irene was friendly, engaging, and helpful throughout. Made 3 pastas in several colors and with multiple flours. A delicious way to finish a trip to Florence.

Great class for eating and learning!

Samantha_R, Apr 2024

We enjoyed this class! We had never made pasta from scratch before and it was very easy for us to keep up in the class. Really enjoyed all the knowledge from the teacher and eating the pasta at the end of course!

Our favorite experience in Florence!!

Dustin_B, Mar 2024

We had so much fun making everything from scratch! From chopping the herbs to kneading the dough for the noodles it was a fun and entertaining experience. We had three older teens in our group and they all said it was 10/10. The food was delicious too and we look forward to trying it at home!

Loved it! Great teachers, great food, beautiful big kitchen to work in.

Charise_H, Mar 2024

Loved the hands on aspect, we got to actually make the food. Sitting down and eating the food we all prepared was so much fun too.

Great experience!

paul_c, Mar 2024

This was a great experience! From the second we walked in the door it was fun, warm and entertaining. Instructors were educational and helpful. What else can I say, if you want to take a cooking class in Florence, this is the one!!

Fun and Delicious Day!

John_H, Feb 2024

My wife knows her way around the kitchen very well. I do not know how to make toast. Chef Vary made the day enjoyable and educational for both of us. She knows how to teach to the most experienced as well as the beginners. Plus, she makes the class a lot of fun. If you want an enjoyable day with an opportunity to learn how to make authentic Italian food sign up for Chef Vary's class.

Wonderful experience

Patricia_F, Feb 2024

We loved our cooking class with Roberto. He was entertaining as well as educational. The food we made was delicious….who knew we could make homemade pasta!

An absolute MUST!

Jacqueline_O, Feb 2024

We had the most incredible experience with Irene! Chef Vary was also wonderful. Because no one else booked class aside from our group, Irene let us make some customizations to our pastas, which we loved. She was so funny, we learned so much, and most importantly, it was truly the best meal we had during our time in Florence— which says a lot because every meal we had was incredible. Thank you, Irene!!!

Fun, educational, and delicious!

Daniel_G, Feb 2024

Such a sweet and entertaining host! We were so tired heading into town, but came to life once we started this class. We got to pick out ingredients, had hands on help preparing the dishes, and learned so many helpful cooking tips!

Fun experience to do!

Julie_S, Feb 2024

We had such a wonderful time with Chef Irene. We opted for the market tour and shopping, then the cooking class option. Irene was so fun and upbeat and had such a great attitude that our morning shopping and area tour went by super fast. She had some great ideas for the pastas and sauces that came to mind when we saw the fresh produce. Nice back at the kitchen, we were amazed at the table and kitchen set up. One other couple joined us for cooking class, so we were a small group of 4. We had so much fun making the pasta and sauces. You didn’t need to be experienced in anything as there were different tasks for different people. Our group was pretty good in the kitchen so we made good time with everything. Irene explained techniques, tips and tricks and she was good at making us feel at ease and having fun. I really really loved her attitude! We completed 3 different pastas with 3 different sauces. Everything was delicious, fresh, and soooo enjoyable. They had a bottle of wine for the 4 of us too. So so so fun!! Highly recommend it.

Pasta fun

Kayla_L, Jan 2024

My boyfriend and I did this class on our last night in Florence. It was so fun. The hosts were so nice and our food came out delicious and fresh. My boyfriend who does not cook at all even had a good time. Highly recommend.

Must do!

Vanessa_B, Jan 2024

This class was easy to find! We made three different pastas, that were all delicious! Loved this experience!

Richard_S, Dec 2023

The two hours spent in the cooking class has been a highlight of our trip to Italy. Chef Vary was excellent. We learned a lot about pasta and italian cooking with the hands on class. She is also entertaining and fun. We recommend this class to everyone interested.

Take this class!

Rachel_P, Nov 2023

This class was amazing! Very small and intimate and you choose the sauce you want to make with your pasta! The chef is knowledgeable and friendly! We are excited to use our new skills. Love that we get a ton of recipes after the class as well!

Chef Vary is an excellent teacher and chef

Lisa_M, Nov 2023

Chef Vary is an exceptional host and teacher. She truly loves sharing her knowledge of food and Italy with visitors her beautiful city. We had a group of 7 adult family members and she created one of our favorite memories from Florence. We learned to make 3 different kinds of pasta and sauces. Be prepared to work and learn. This is an extremely hands on class which is exactly what we were looking for on a rainy day.

Great!

Michele_S, Nov 2023

Fun and delicious. Enjoyed the chef and the pasta. We learned about local foods and it was hands on.

Amazing Class and Dinner

Cristian_S, Nov 2023
