Because we needed to do the Gluten Free class, my family of five received essentially a private cooking class from our wonderful chef. The space was dedicated gluten free with labeled gluten free mixers and dedicated cooking utensils. We also learned a lot about how to compensate for the lack of gluten in pasta.

Wonderful and entertaining host! We had a great time and made some of the best pasta ever! We enjoyed it and would recommend!

We had a great time with Roberto. He was patient and funny, despite some annoying “classmates.” We learned a lot and the food (and wine) was so good! We will definitely be trying these recipes at home 🫶🏽

The chef leading our class was a lot of fun and all the food was delicious! The business also has a great wine bar with lots of local wines and beers.

Chef Vary let us decide what type of pasta we would like to make, and pick out fresh ingredients and flavours we like. She taught us valuable techniques and tips for being in the kitchen and making gluten free pasta. She was knowledgeable and made us feel at home and comfortable. My mom is a Celiac and felt comfortable because it was a designated gluten free kitchen. It was a memorable experience for both of us. Grazie!

We really enjoyed the pasta class. We chose the vegan and vegetarian class because of allergies. The class was small and so interesting. We will definitely make pasta when we get home

Our pasta making class with Julio was amazing! We had never made pasta before and Julio made it so easy and fun. We would highly recommend and it was a highlight of our trip!

We had a very entertaining evening with Giulio learning to make great food and enjoying a fantastic meal with the new friends we had made. Super fun!

We had one of the best pasta cooking lessons in beautiful Florence Chef Julio was simply amazing ! Our group learnt how to make 3 kinds of pasta all in one lesson. Simple , organized , on time and delicious. I highly recommend Buon appetito!

We had the absolute best evening with Roberto! He taught us how to make three pastas and just made every step in the process a blast.

Fantastic class and much better than I expected. Chef was great and it was a fun time with great food and wine. Would highly recommend

The class is in a nice kitchen attached to a wine shop. The owners of the wine shop are great, as is the selection of beer and wine. The class fell a little flat for us. The instruction was ok, but the end result was just “meh”. I’ve made better pasta at home and without the top notch semolina flour they use. Giulio was super friendly and helpful. Would have really liked some meat in the sauce or maybe some sausage in the ravioli. Everything we made was vegan and if I’d sat down in a restaurant and they had served me what I made, I’d never order it again. We also felt a little rushed and the teaching was somewhat unorganized - we weren’t allowed to drink wine during the class and at the end we barely finished our pasta and didn’t have enough time to even finish 2 bottles of wine between 8 people before we were rushed out the door. We’ve done several cooking classes and for the $$, we’ve had much better experiences.

My sister and I did this class on a Sunday morning and had a great time! And it wasn’t just the wine starting at 10:30 am! Julio was fabulous, entertaining and obviously loves to cook and share food! We would highly recommend this pasta making class. It was one of the best ones I’ve done.

Excellent way to enjoy another side of Florence and Tuscan culture! Fun activity, great for couples and friend groups. Learned about nuances of traditional cooking. The food was delicious. Chef Vary was a warm and funny host. Highly recommended.

Chef Vary is an absolutely charming, fun, and skilled chef. We were only 11 in our class which made this experience so much more private. We learned 3 types of pasta and then we got to taste the fruit of our labor. Thank you for a fabulous experience and your patience for a non cook chef Vary. 😋
