Wanna Be Italiano - The original Cooking Class & Market Tour in Florence

Had a truly Awesome experience with David - market tour was great and got to try some yummy cheese and salumi then back for our cooking class and lunch. Highly recommend for families with kids who want to cook!

Great way to spend half a day in Florence. Our chef, David, was a great leader and helped us through preparing a wonderful lunch. The market tour was nice as well, learning about how Italians typically buy their food. Making Tiramisu was much easier than I expected.

Have a class on my one, but Tommaso not get stressed…. Enjoy the food and the tiramisu, this is my favorite

Catarina and Tomasa were wonderful teachers for our cooking class! We were able to experience purchasing our ingredients from the Centrale Market and were able to try some wonderful cheeses from one of their favorite vendors. Once we got back, Tomasa showed us how to cook the ragu and make the pumpkin filling for our ravioli. After that, we worked with Catarina on the tiramisu which I normally don't like, but this one was fantastic! Next up we worked on making our pasta and learning the techniques to make tagliatelle and ravioli. After putting everything all together, we were able to sit down with the rest our class for a family style meal and wine. Had a wonderful time and also heard they do a pizza class!

Caterina our chef, was really nice and teaches in a very simple, didactic and easy way the technique for making your own pasta, ragu bolognese sauce and tiramisu. You might be spoiled after this, since eating at the end of the class the pasta you just made has no comparison. It is the best !!! Highly recommend the experience.

Really great workshop. Really Nice to go to the food market first. Learned a lot of things en had great tips. We made or own ravioli, tagliatelle en 3 kinds of sauce. Also tiramisu, i van really recommend this experience.

We throughly enjoyed our cooking class with Thommas. He was very knowledgeable and patient. We all laughed and worked well together. I have already referred some people we were on a wine tasting tour with today. This was a highlight of our visit in Florence.

I really enjoyed this! I am traveling solo and it was a great way to meet people, and make amazing food and to top it off the chef was awesome and cute ;)! 10/10 recommend!

Fresh is best, keep at it, share! Take your time. Find reliable sources and get the real deal, no substitutes

This was an excellent experience and we highly recommend it to anyone wanting to find excursions out of the norm and additional local experiences. We had fun, learned a lot, and came away with recipes that we will be excited to try once we’re back home! Wanted to give this five stars because it was truly such a fun experience and we loved both Tomasso and David, they were excellent, but there were a couple things that we felt could have made this a five. First, the menu and details noted that we would also make an appetizer course of fresh bruschetta, this was not actually included. When the wine was served we did receive cheese and balsamic, but did not get to make or enjoy the bruschetta that was listed. Second, we had a mother and daughter at our table who were very nice, but the daughter was young (I think 11-12), and was immature the entire class. Playing with the food and ingredients, not following direction, making an absolute mess - it was honestly distracting and disappointing after paying what we did for the class. I don’t blame this on the instructors or cooking class at all, but maybe feedback to have an age limit of a little higher would be excellent. Last, we were traveling and celebrating for our first wedding anniversary and wanted to purchase one of the terracotta wine bottles as a keepsake to commemorate the experience and our trip, as well as some balsamic. We were told that they weren’t selling any of their product at this time, either in person or online, even though they had plenty of stock. This was very disappointing - typically if someone partakes in your class or experience, they get the perk of being able to spend money at your business and sadly we couldn’t. Still would come back and do another class, and would recommend to anyone staying in Florence!
