    The chef was an excellent and patient teacher! The menu was simple and delicious. Event was well attended, organized, great facility (although it was quite a hike for us from our hotel).

    The instructor was great - funny, a great chef and he made the experience fun. The food was also very good.
    Excellent family activity

    Stefano, our chef, was engaging and personable. The 4 course meal was fun to cook together and tasted amazing. No doubt this will be a fond memory of our time in Firenze
    Happy for the recipe however felt rushed through it all even eating what we prepared
    Maryse_P, Jul 2023
    The food we learned how to cook a d then taste/eat was excellent. Felt rushed to eat.. we were done at 7:30 snd out the door
    Not worth it, watch a YouTube instead.
    Luan_D, May 2023
    The class size was a too large to really participate and do any cooking. It was awkward because some people were not good at taking turns. The instructions where given all at one time vs step by step as you go - so there where long periods of just listening. The wine was only served at the end and it wasn’t good. And… we sat at a table were we saw our gnocchi still sitting there, so we did not eat what we supposedly prepared. Overall, it wasn’t a great experience.
    Terrible experience. Not Worth it!
    Ai_N, Apr 2023
    Poor value. Terrible experience. Expensive. One of the chefs appeared stressed out, over-worked. The reason they got 1 star b/c we met some nice people while we were there. Save your money and time for something else.
    Response from Host, Apr 2023
    Dear Ai_N, We are sorry to hear you had such a bad experience in comparison with our previous 5* reviews. We spoke with the Academy and they reported to us that you had fun with Caterina (the chef) during the cooking time. The other guests that were in the same class as you did, enjoyed the class so much that they left 5* reviews as well. Anyhow, we would like to invite you to contact us at info@italyhiddenexperiences.com in order to understand better what happened and help you in sorting out a way to enjoy Florence at its best we'd like to thank you for taking part in our Deluxe Cooking class. Best regards, Italy Hidden Experiences Staff
    Delicious
    Helena_E, Nov 2022
    Nice to meet new people and do something you all love. It’s even better when the meal you prepared together is so delicious! Thanks for all the explanations and recipes.
    Fun experience!

    This is at a cooking school. A 20 minute walk from the main Florence plaza. The staff was sweet and helpful. You are grouped with people.
    Very good cooking learning - but too much noysy lokality.
    FinnEgil_S, Oct 2019
    Learn a lot with a good master for learning. A sosial meeting with frends - and the food was exelent made of ourself. Clean . But the locality was very very noysy. Desibel too high.
    Divertente e interessante
    Alessia_T, Dec 2022
    Ho regalato questa esperienza al mio ragazzo. È stato molto divertente imparare a cucinare piatti nuovi, in particolar modo a fare la pasta fresca anche se siamo italiani. È stata anche una bella occasione per conoscere e condividere alcuni momenti con persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Lo consiglio per una serata diversa e interessante!
    Une très belle expérience
    Christel_D, Dec 2021
    Les recettes sont top et l’animation est excellente!on a adoré apprendre des choses tout en passant un bon moment
    Lezione di cucina presso scuola di cucina professionale
    Ilaria, May 2021
    Corso di cucina adatto a tutti, a prescindere dall'esperienza. Francesco si è dimostrato non soltanto estremamente professionale ed esperto nel suo campo, ma anche di ottima compagnia. Abbiamo imparato tecniche di taglio di cui non eravamo a conoscenza e ci siamo segnati i suoi consigli di cucina. Persona amabile e professionale allo stesso tempo. Viator al telefono mi aveva detto che "la lezione si teneva a casa dello chef", ma l'informazione non è corretta: trattasi infatti di una vera e propria scuola di cucina con tutto il materiale idoneo allo scopo e spazi ad hoc. Quindi non c'è da aspettarsi una lezione di cucina "da nonna Pina". Lo consiglieremmo a tutti. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo e sicuramente ci torneremmo nel caso in cui dovessimo ripassare da Firenze.
