    AMAZING!
    Niveita_J, Apr 2024
    Love the experience! Our chef Juliette was amazing, she was welcoming and gave us such a wonderful experience! Will definitely come back!
    Simply the best!!
    Charmaine_L, Oct 2023
    The class was fantastic! The rooftop views were much more breathtaking than expected. The views were only out down by the wonderful cooking lesson we received from Nada. My fellow cookingmates also made this class one of my most memorable moments in Florence!!
    Incredible cooking class!!
    Sarah_S, Oct 2023
    This class was incredible! First you meet in a square where they grab some of the fresh herbs and vegetables, walk around the corner to their apartment/home and walk up about 6 flights of stairs, and go up this narrow staircase and finally you get up to the rooftop kitchen and sitting area surrounded by 360 degree views! It is truly breathtaking up there. We were lucky enough and went on a blue sky sunny day where we could see for miles. It's help yourself wine for hours, while we made tiramisu, bruschetta and homemade pasta! The instructor was really great, he was funny and informative but patient...we learned a lot of great tips and tricks in the kitchen. I can't recommend this class enough, it was one of our favorite days in Italy! We all ate at the table together, shared wine, food and laughs! If you're on the fence of booking and wondering which class to book since there are so many to choose from, do this one - you will not be disappointed!!!
    A great experience....

    A great experience. Delicious meals and recipes provided by a lovely and experienced chef. Would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.
    Amazing food, even better view!
    Hillary_C, Oct 2023
    Forget the Piazzale Michelangelo, THIS is the best view of Florence!! AND you get to enjoy the view while eating DELICIOUS food that you made yourself. Simone led our cooking class on the day we went and was amazing! He was very personable and showed interest in who we were as people too. He divided us into groups to make the bruschetta and also prep the ingredients for the tiramisu. but taught the whole group about everything before we all started our tasks so we could learn multiple techniques. After the appetizer & dessert prep, we had a break to have a glass of prosecco or wine or water and take in the view and the sunshine. We then went into learning how to make & roll pasta by hand. After that, the assistant cooked up our pasta and made sauces for us while we gathered as a group on the rooftop to enjoy our bruschetta. All in all, it was an amazing class and I wish we could go back and do it all over again! We even made friends in this class that we ran into in the Amalfi Coast a few days later and ended up doing the Path of the Gods Hike together! So it was fantastic all around.
    Great experience with great views
    Shannon_R, Oct 2023
    The view was great! The weather in the morning was great (not being used to the heat we enjoyed the 18-20), it heated up early afternoon as we ate which was nice. The cooking class was very hands on, many great tips to take home with us and our instructor you could tell was very passionate. Great experience!
    A must do experience
    CeeCee_C, Oct 2023
    This was the most spectacular experience my fiancé and I had in Florence. The view was spectacular, the food was amazing and we learned so much. We met great people and would highly recommend doing this while in Florence! We took the 7:00pm class and caught the sunset!! Thank you!!
    Such a wonderful experience!
    Jennifer_G, Oct 2023
    We had an incredible time! The view was breathtaking, the class was fun and the instructor was extremely knowledgeable. I feel like we learned so much about Italian cuisine and the culture surrounding it. If you’re thinking of doing a class, LET IT BE THIS ONE! We can’t wait to try remaking pasta and bruschetta back home!
    Lovely luncheon

    Marianna was a fabulous host - fun, friendly, and really facilitated a great experience. The food she taught us to prepare was also delicious! This has been the highlight of our trip to Florence.
    Cooking fun under the Duomo

    The gracious and fun hostess taught us how to make bruschetta, noodles and tiramisu in a great environment.
    Our experience
    Linda_M, Jul 2023
    My husband and I were running 15 minutes late- I hate being late! I tried to get a hold of the tour guide with the number they left on the booking but no answer! I called Viator themselves and asked if they could get in touch with the tour. I went to the location as told and climbed 5-6 flights of stairs with my stroller (not easy) and no body was there! After walking around in the heat for almost 2 hours, and continuously calling Viator and the tour guide, I issued a refund so I can book another one better planned (as this one was pricy) and I have not reserved any response or feedback since then.
    Lovely evening trying out...
    Tina_Y, Jul 2023
    Lovely evening trying out some Italian cooking with beautiful panoramic views. Plenty of wine on hand to enjoy your meal afterwards! A worthwhile experience
    Stunning views and exciting food!
    Heather_G, Jul 2023
    What a view!! Silvia was our host and was informative and patient with so many nice cooks. We had fun interacting with all the other guests and laughing at our skills. Having lunch overlooking the Duomo was one of the highlights of our trip!
    A family favorite
    Sarah_S, Jun 2023
    It offers an amazing view and wonderful food. My family has varying skills and interests when it comes to cooking, but we all enjoyed it and agreed we would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.
    Cooking with Silvia was a wonderful experience & you could not beat the 360 view. Perfecto!!

    Greg_J, Jun 2023
    Not only was the 360 view stunning, but you learn a lot of cooking tips along the way. It's kept light and fun and at the end you get to enjoy delicious food!
    Lunch with a View!
