The pasta making and...
The pasta making and Tiramisu was a blast and the chef was so patient and kind! Our first time making pasta from scratch and it was such a breeze! Would definitely recommend to travelers to Firenze!

Amazing 👏
Great experience! The instructor was friendly and explained everything clearly. We made fresh pasta from scratch — tagliatelle and ravioli — and it was easier than I thought. The best part was eating what we made. Fun, tasty, and totally worth it!

Horrific customer service (and no pasta)
Wow, the customer service of this company is absolutely horrific. After booking a 55€ (a person) pasta workshop, we did not get any clear confirmation. We found out a week later that apparently it was booked for the week before (?? We suspect it was a site error, not user error, because there were multiple people there to check while booking). After calling the owner of the pasta restaurant, we thought all was well; he was so nice and willing to think with us. Only thing is, we also had to contact My green tour again; this is were things went wrong. The woman on the phone was a piece of WORK. So rude, not willing to hear anybody out, let alone help out. Even when we told her it was not an issue for the restaurant owner, she would not budge an inch. Then she said she would call us back; that was also not true! When we called her again the next day, the conclusion remained the same. It was not something that could be considered customer service; this was just her way of getting us out of her way as quickly as possible. We would never book with these people again, and do not recommend you do.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Pasta Making Class in Florence with a Local Chef start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
