    Fun and delicious
    Mary_P, Mar 2024
    Learning to make our own pasta was extremely fun, even for those with limited cooking experience. Our teacher, Lucrezia, was engaging, funny, and so informative. We had a wonderful evening because of her, and our food was delicious.
    Great Experience
    Stacey_K, Mar 2024
    The instructor was great and she made it really fun. We learned how to make 3 shapes of pasta and were served wine, Prosecco and lemoncella with dessert. The kids were offered soda. We had a great time!
    Great Family Experience
    Scott_W, Mar 2024
    A great, engaging experience! Hands on fun learning to make multiple types of pasta! Eloise, our instructor, was terrific and wanted to ensure the knowledge stuck with us and that we were inspired to want to continue to make pasta well beyond the class. Excellent experience for a family with 2 teens.
    Must do!

    Our instructor, Guicamo, was fantastic. He was full of energy and walked around and included everyone in our class. I was there with my husband and sons aged 11 and 14 and they were the only children in the class. My 11 year old had intended on only watching the cooking but Guicamo made him feel very comfortable and he fully participated and we all had a great time while learning how to make three types of pasta. My older son enjoys cooking and is already planning to recreate the pastas when we get home. Definitely a highlight of our time in Florence, thanks to Guicamo.
    Feel like a real chef!

    My favorite thing I have done in Italy so far! Cant wait to make my own pasta when I get home! I’m a solo traveler and this was the perfect activity
    Pastamania Worth Every Penny
    Amy_M, Mar 2024
    Had a great time with the Pastamania staff and the food was delicious. Our chef was fun and had lots of energy...but most importantly patient with those of us who are impatient with such a patient process. Worth every penny.
    Great! Exceeded expectations! So fun!
    Elizabeth_F, Mar 2024
    We had a great time making pasta! It was fun, informative, interactive and delicious! We all loved it! Grazie!
    Amazing, Hands On Experience
    Kelly_V, Mar 2024
    We loved this experience and will be looking for cooking classes on all our future international travels. It’s a hands on cultural experience that you won’t forget. We made 3 different fresh pastas: ravioli, capellaci and linguine. Our guide, Asia, was fun, personable and gave many tips throughout- like her favorite way to make pesto. There were a few breaks throughout the process, which was nice to drink wine, socialize or snap photos. You DON’T make the sauces. They are already prepared for the meal (pomp dork sauce and butter sage sauce), but you do get recipes at the end! Also as a bonus, there was a (free) optional wine tasting afterwards.
    Great time, chef and...
    Susan_V, Mar 2024
    Great time, chef and assistant were great instructors and so much fun! Space was great and immaculate. Great experience.
    This was a wonderful...
    Anna_S, Mar 2024
    This was a wonderful experience. Our instructor was Francesca was great. She was very helpful and answered all of questions about pasta making. The meal we made was one of my favorite meals we had while in Italy.
    So much fun…do not miss this!
    Meaghan_J, Mar 2024
    This was the best thing we did in Italy! Francesca was so much fun, we laughed, drank wine, ate pasta and learned how to make our own. What could be better?
    Fun Class - Can’t wait to try at home!
    Casey_F, Mar 2024
    From the time we booked our trip to Italy, my wife had wanted to do a pasta making class, but a couple we were with was not initially as excited about it. We talked them into joining it with us and everyone had a great time. Nicola was a great instructor. We learned a lot, the food was good, and overall, we had a great time. My only critique is that the wine was terrible.
    Fun, tasty and unforgettable
    Derek_K, Mar 2024
    What a fantastic experience. Before we had even left we were planning a pasta making party with friends back home.
    Fly to Florence just for this course!
    Joanna_V, Mar 2024
    The courses in London are £200pp so we came to Florence for the weekend instead! Learnt loads, the pasta was really tasty. Course includes 2 course meal, wine and limoncello! Excellent quality and value.
    Pasta making class not worth it
    Katherine_G, Mar 2024
    This was very underwhelming. You don’t really cook anything. They don’t teach you how to make sauces…they just show you how to make the pasta and cut it. You don’t really even learn what’s in the filling for the ravioli. It’s pre-made. Super lame…I wouldn’t recommend
    Delicious pasta and company
    Claire_W, Mar 2024
    This was amazing! Delicious pasta, 3 different kinds, with great company and a good amount of time. Not too long, and we got all the recipes, and got to eat and drink. It was a great evening with a fun activity.
    One of the best experiences!
    Karen_D, Mar 2024
    We loved the very relaxed atmosphere and joyful instructor! The technique was a GREAT experience and so grateful for the recipes so I can do this at home <3
    Highly recommended
    Kell_M, Mar 2024
    We had a wonderful experience. Very fun but we also learned basic pasta making skills that we can bring home. Alessandra was a fantastic teacher. Her passion for pasta made the experience even better.
    Fun experience

    Chef Maria was fantastic and everything was delicious. The only negative was the plug at the end to buy the owners’ wines.
    Make Delicious Pasta & Enjoy Your Creations
    Jill_F, Mar 2024
    My daughter (13) and I had a great time. Our instructor, Asia, clearly explained all the steps and helped us make delicious pasta. She cooked up our creations, added sauces that were prepared before the class, and served up an excellent dinner of our pasta and wine.
