Such a lovely evening! My dad and I took Cinzia’s cooking class and it was the highlight of our time in Florence. The patio was beautiful and we learned skills we will definitely use when returning back to the US. Overall, it felt like we were having a fun night in a friend’s home and we can’t wait to make our own pasta at home! Thank you Cinzia!

the host cenzia was great and very informative plus the food was excellent. she was very attentive to our questions and presented in a way that was helpful to understand.
Fun way to spend a night.
Dana_N, Jul 2022
So fun! Cinzia taught us about the traditional Tuscan method of making pasta. First, we prepared a protein pasta dough. Next we let the dough rest while we prepared a potato and spinach gnocchi. Then we prepared tagliatelle with a classic tomato garlic sauce, pecorino stuffed ravioli with pear and shallot sauce and gorgonzola cream sauce for the gnocchi. For dessert, we prepared a coffee mousse. My family had a lot of fun. For planning purposes, I had difficulty getting a taxi to Cinzia's and back to the hotel so I would recommend making arrangements for transportation in advance. Her home is roughly a 15 minute drive from the Piazza del Duomo.
We had a great...

We had a great experience. It was fun, informative, encouraging and most importantly delicious! We purchased gift certificates for our driend to have an online course. Do this, you won't regret it.
Cinzia is a wonderful chef and host!

Cinzia is a delight! I would highly, highly recommend booking this experience with her. Our boys loved making their own pasta, and we had so much fun putting all the ingredients and courses together. Cinzia was a terrific host, and I would love to book her again to come to our flat if we have a full kitchen.
Amazing Tuscan dinner!

Cinzia was very welcoming and helpful. We made a lot of delicious pasta (plus dessert!) and left feeling like we could do it again ourselves!
