The cooking class was definitely one of our favorite memories of our honeymoon to Italy. Our guide Luca was so funny and make the whole day such a fun experience! We learned a lot about cooking and different ways to make cooking more enjoyable than it normally is. I definitely recommend taking this class, it’s in a beautiful location and it’s such a fun activity that you’ll remember forever!The class was more entertainment rather than educational. Too many in the class…23. We expected the class to be about half of that, more intimate and more hands-on.

Bruschetta appetizer, Ragù sauce, roast pork, roasted potatoes AND handmade Tagliatelle pasta with Tiramisù for dessert! A fantastic menu! We made it all. Shopping at the local market for the ingredients was more fun than I thought it would be. Our guide/chef for the day, extravagant Luca, was a kick in the pants and always ready with a joke. We did this cooking class with our group of 17 that were traveling together. Great activity for a large group. A fun memory maker. I would do this cooking class again.Luca and Carmela were by far the best hosts, teachers and chefs. The entire group on the tour participated no one person was excluded. We learned so much in this hands on class. Luca is funny and engaging while Carmela sings and dances her way into your heart even if it’s all in Italian.

My husband and I had such an incredible experience with Luca and Carmela in our cooking class. The lessons began with an entertaining and informational trip to the market. On the way to the kitchen, Luca added “must-sees” through Florence. We arrived at a beautiful indoor/outdoor kitchen and dining location #breathtaking! We me Carmela there. Overall, their knowledge, techniques and compatibility are perfect! This tour was filled with so much laughter! We’ll never forget Luca and Carmela !
