We book from Viator & this cooking experience clearly did not disappoint us. We met our guide Lavinia at the train station. We proceeded to central market to purchase the key ingredients for our cooking experiences. Along the way Lavinia introduced the key highlights of this market After the market visit, we proceeded by bus to the home of the main chef Camellia. It is located up the hills past Piazzale Michelangelo It was an amazing place with magnificent views of Florence Camellia spoke only Italian but she clearly wowed us with her warm personality. Lavinia helped to translate in English to us We truly enjoyed the session & feasting on the four course lunch A certificate was presented to us at the end of the session Strongly recommended !

My friend and I had the best time cooking with Luca and Carmela! The villa was absolutely breathtaking and the meal was amazing. Thank you for making this one of our favorite experiences in Florence!

Luca and Carmella are amazing! They kept us all engaged with helping. They had fun stories and great energy. Recommend this class 10 out of 10! Can’t wait to go home and make pasta and ragu!

My friends and I really enjoyed our cooking lesson and market tour. Chefs Lucca and Carmela were both entertaining and informative. They both kept us laughing while we learned about Italian cooking. The lunch we had was first class. I highly recommend this tour!

My family and I absolutely had a fantastic time with Chef Luca and Chef Carmela at the beautiful property in the hills of Florence! Starting with the market tour and picking up all the groceries we needed for our class was fun.. loved the samples we tasted! The ride up to the farmhouse was fun and the class itself was fun, we all had a chance to help with the prep and then making the pasta. Making the tiramisu was pretty easy and delicious. Dining on what we helped cook while having a beautiful view was the best. We highly recommend this experience and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Thank you, Luca and Carmela

Fantastic experience! Luca was amazing…..not only a wonderful chef, but very funny and personable! This tour was a highlight of our trip! We would highly recommend!

Wonderful views while we prepared pasta at this Tuscan retreat in the hills. Luca and Carmella are wonderful fun hosts. We couldn’t have picked a better tour to start our Italian trip.

This surpassed my expectations! Luca was amazing in every aspect of the experience!! Carmela was the perfect addition to a perfect day! I will always remember this day ❤️

Great excursion. Learning to cook Italian was a lot of fun. The market tour was fabulous. Luca and Carmela were great hosts. Highly recommended. Nancy S.

Gloria and Camella were awesome! Cant wait to go home and cook these recipes! So much fun! This is for the beginner as well as the experience chef.

My parents had come to this cooking class years ago and told us how much they enjoyed it and it did not disappoint! Gloria and Carmela provided a perfect taste of shopping at the market and getting your hands dirty with a little Italian cooking. The views for the class are spectacular and make for a great ambiance.

Perfecto.. A beautiful farmhouse with a marvelous high end kitchen that makes you want to cook! Carmella and Gloria were excellent in explaining recipes, and presentation of food and table was excellent.. the views from the dining area are spectacular! You can’t go wrong with this one.. very enjoyable experience!

Absolutely unforgettable experience with Gloria and Carmen. Perfectly paced, gorgeous setting and lively class. I learned a lot from the market tour and class. Highly recommend for people with varying cooking level / skills. I had my 17 year old god daughter with me and she said it was her favorite day on our vacation.

We did the pizza and gelato class one day ... and the market tour bruschetta, pork loin, spaghetti and meat sauce and tiramisu class the next day. Both classes has amazing teachers- Max, Tiziana and her brother for pizza and gelato...and Luca and another lady who were wonderful for the full meal. The setting is soo gorgeous and my daughter said it was her favorite part of our Italy trip! Will definitely recommend to friends! We had walked past the window of a pasta class held in downtown Florence one evening ...and I can promise you that just the views from Tuscany make the extra cost of these classes worthwhile. This is a must do.

Lucca and the team were beyond exceptional. The cooking class was outstanding and lucca's colorful personally made the experience worth every penny! Me and my wife travel often. This is the best tour we've ever experienced...hands down!

We had the best time cooking with Luca. He was amazing & lots of laughs. My husband was hesitant of taking a cooking class. He doesn’t not cook. He thought it was a great experience. Luca really was fantastic. The food was fabulous. My sister actually took Luca’s class.. She strongly suggested we take the class .

My wife really wanted to do a cooking class during our time in Florence. This was not something on our trip that I was really looking forward to but at the end I had to thank my wife for suggesting this tour. From the start, Luca was very personable and funny! The market tour to buy our food for cooking was very informative, complete with some tasty samples. From the meeting time at the station to the end of the market tour was about an hour. The cooking class itself is in the country about a 15 minute ride from the market. The ride is very pretty and Luca shares great tips and info along the way about restaurants and viewing areas of the city. The class is very engaging and a lot of fun. Luca is hilarious and someone you will not forget. Carmela is the main chef and she is wonderful! It is also a great chance to eat and chat with fellow travelers. For someone who didn’t really want to do this tour, I am now so very glad I didn’t miss this experience! Thank you to Luca and Carmela

This was the very best experience we had on this travel adventure through Italy! Luca and Carmela were very entertaining which added to the experience. They helped each of us with our food prep and - in some cases - saved us from a food disaster! The views from this estate are magnificent as well. I can't say enough good things about this Cooking Class. The lunch was delicious.

Such a fun class and cooking with a wonderful group of people.Luka added to the fun and his wonderful tips for cooking were greatly appreciated. This class was a highlight of our vacation

Luca and Carmela created such an amazing atmosphere! We had so much fun making the pasta and this cooking class was a highlight of our trip. A must do when in Florence!
