Fabulous time, chefs were great. Went with my granddaughter who doesn’t eat meat and they were so accommodating to her likes. Fun and friendly group we were with. Recommend it highly

Despite the uncontrollable pipe issue in the building prior to the tour which almost had David (chef) forced to cancel our class, he and his team adapted quickly and still was able to not only hold the class but spent the extra time to explain in detail each step of the experience from shopping for ingredients, reasons why certain steps are done in the cooking and preparation process and allowed us to take breaks, enjoy each others company and had some great laughs along the way. This class was really something my wife wanted to do and while I was originally Luke warm with an open mind, I’m so happy we did this. Outstanding job by David, Mohamed and team! Highly recommend!!! Great job guys!

Really fun Day! Going into the market was a great addition to the class. Thought the day would seem very long, however, it flew by. Learned a lot about making pasta and enjoyed talking with the others in the group. Can't wait to try out what we learned. Chefs David and Alice were Great!!!!

What a great experience this was. Exploring the market before cooking added additional information. Our chief lead us through each process of everything we made. So much fun and food! Not just a tasting but lots more.

We loved the opportunity to cook with the pros. We first made the short walk to the market and learned about Olive Oil and also Balsamic Vinegar. A tasting experience and insight into the supply of quality food products for the city of Florence. We were guided into making Bolognese and then a Tiramisu and making Pasta, and the top of it all, was to enjoy our creations. A fun experience with lasting memories that I hope to use soon to enjoy my own Italian cooking!

Overall, we enjoyed this experience. The visit to the market in the morning gave a real authenticity to Italian cooking. The demonstration and class itself was very well structured and enjoyable. However, it must be highlighted to whoever is assisting the chef that they must wash their hands after handling raw meat. This was not the case and we had to point it out to the chef before he intervened. This element was disappointing and unsettling as we both felt very much on edge knowing that the work station was shared and was contaminated as a result.
