    Private cooking class in amazing setting

    What a magical evening with Chef Mario! Fun pasta making and the bistecca!!!! An evening we will never forget.

    An unforgettable experience

    Cooking outdoors in Tuscany with Mario was pure magic. As we walked the path to his quaint cabin kitchen, we picked fresh rosemary and sage growing wild along the way—already, it felt like a dream. Mario, a warm and generous host, welcomed us with local wine (which kept flowing!) and guided us through making fresh pasta, sauce and grilled Florentine steak over an open fire. We ended the evening dining under twinkling lights, with full plates and even fuller hearts!

    Fantastic Cooking Class!

    We booked the cooking course with transportation to Countryside. The booking went smoothly and the payment method could be customized to our wishes. The communication with Chef Mario was very good. The cooking class was wonderful, it was so much fun. We cooked two types of pasta, a Florentine-style steak and a dessert. All the courses were incredibly tasty and we were allowed to participate as much as possible. Chef Mario is a funny and super nice instructor. The location could not have been better chosen. We felt completely at home there. We can recommend this cooking course to everyone (!). Many thanks to Mario and to Home Cooking Tours Michel and Denise

    I’d give 6 stars if I could!

    A van picked us up near our apartment. During the drive Mario gave us a fascinating history lesson. Mario was also the chef. We helped him prepare a delicious 4-course meal, including pici pasta with tomato sauce, potato ravioli with sage butter sauce, Florentine ribeye steak with potatoes and grilled apples with custard. We had 2 different wines both of which were delicious. Mario was charming, funny and highly skilled. This was one of the highlights of our vacation.

    Fabulous Florence Cooking Tour

    We spent a fabulous afternoon with Chef Mario. He picked us up near our flat in Florence and took us to a farm in the countryside. We learned how to make 2 kinds of pasta and had a wonderful meal. Chef Mario was funny and very informative. We then had steak Firenze on an open fire. Great day, highly recommend this excursion.

    Cooking Class with Fire: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Cooking Class with Fire cost?

    +

    Prices start at €130 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 Cooking Class with Fire take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Cooking Class with Fire worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 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 Cooking Class with Fire?

    +

    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 Cooking Class with Fire suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cooking Class with Fire?

    +

    Around 14 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cooking Class with Fire 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.

    What is included in Cooking Class with Fire?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Cooking Class with Fire offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cooking Class with Fire?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Cooking Class with Fire wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Cooking Class with Fire if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
