A cooking class in Tuscany with Jacopo was just an amazing and delicious experience. He is a very experienced chef that is very used to teaching. He was patient and explained everything thoroughly. He also communicated the history and science behind the recipes. The whole experience was even more wonderful that our lesson was held in the beautiful apartment in Florence where Jacopo was raised and his mother still lives. It made the experience even more authentic. While we enjoyed making the food, we enjoyed eating it even more. Everything was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go home and make this good again. Thank you, Jacopo!

We had a wonderful experience cooking with Jacopo. Our kids were a little young for it (ages 6, 3 and baby) but still were great helpers in the kitchen. Chef Jacopo did a great job tailoring our experience for our family. We prepared a salad, 3 pastas and Tiramisu. We worked together beforehand to determine the menu. We learned so much and can’t wait to make these dishes when we go back home!!! We highly recommend this experience.

A wonderful cooking class for our extended family. Jacopo was accommodating of our food preferences/allergies and customized a wonderful experience. We cooked at the Florence location inside his mother’s beautiful apartment after visiting the local market together. The highlight of our trip to Italy (and perhaps the best meal we ate).

Had an amazing time cooking with Jacopo! Easily the best part of our trip. Two adults, two young kids (6 yo, 9yo), four course meal with two pasta creations. Everything was prepped, well coordinated, clearly taught and absolutely delicious. Do not miss this opportunity!

This was the best experience we had on our family vacation in Italy. Our family of five (three young kids) all had an amazing time, starting with the market visit with Jacopo and ending with our four course meal with him! Jacopo was a kind, patient, funny, welcoming, and incredibly informative teacher. He stepped in when any steps were too tricky or tiresome, and guided us through preparing some of the best Italian food we had on our trip-thin and delicate ravioli, moist pork roast, potato gnocchi with fresh pomodoro sauce, panzanella, and tiramisu. We walked away with personalized recipes and were excited and confident to try them out now that we’re back at home. This was many times better than a large group experience—we loved working with Chef Jacopo in such an intimate setting in his childhood home, and with a dedicated hands-on experience just for our family. We hope to return and repeat soon!

I cannot recommend Jacopo's class more. We attended the class at his rural home in Trecento. Jacopo's manner is very relaxed, but somehow very controlled. He made all of us feel comfortable to try, my wife and teenaged daughter can get nervous to fail, my nine-year-old does not like being told what to do, but all of us found his instruction easy to follow. He speaks authoritatively on food/cooking history and how it is the foundation of trade and culture, not a moment was wasted or idle, we were either learning, or cooking, or both. He packs in every moment with guidance about how and more importantly why certain tasks are done the way they are (for example, understanding a gluten web greatly reduced the time it took for us to learn effective pasta making.) The entire experience was relaxed, so it took several hours, but there was so much to take away from it in terms of perspectives on cooking, on Italy, or even perspectives on living, that I will certainly sign up for another lesson when next I am in country.

We had a great time at Let’s Cook Tuscany! Jacopo and Anna were very generous with their knowledge and are incredibly talented chefs. We learnt so much about cooking and loved the insights into Italian history and sustainable food preparation. The food was delicious and we were amazed by how much we learnt to create! It was a highlight of our trip.
