Amazing evening of making pasta and new friends
What an amazing evening! The experience of learing to make pasta in Italy with other people from all over was truely a one of a kind evening. The staff was friendly, engaging and encouraging to those of us who were non-cooks. After we made the pasta, we all sat down at a big long table to enjoy our meal with the new friends we had made while preparing the food. One of the best things we did on our 2 week trip.

Great way to spend a morning in Florence.
We did the gelato and pizza making class with Luca. He was fantastic as was the pizza and gelato. We was a great teacher. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’ll make sure Luca sees your lovely words—he’ll be delighted. Pizza and gelato may look simple, but both have deep roots in Italian food culture, and learning the right ingredients, techniques and little details makes all the difference. Since 2013, that’s what we’ve loved sharing at Mama Florence: authentic Italian traditions taught by professional chefs in a way that is hands-on, relaxed and fun. Grazie for cooking with Luca and for recommending us. We hope to have you back in the kitchen one day!

Solo highly recommended recommendation
This was a fabulous experience from the moment you arrived through cooking through waiting for the dinner to be finished to gathering at the table with all the people and sharing a wonderful meal of what we all cooked together. It was amazing. It was so good. I highly recommend it!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a wonderful description of the Mama Florence experience! You captured exactly what we’ve wanted to create since 2013: not simply a cooking class, but the whole journey—from preparing authentic dishes together with quality ingredients to finally gathering around one table, sharing the food you’ve made with people you may only have met a few hours earlier. As we say Better meals. Better moments! We’re so happy you were part of it!

We did a hands on cooking dinner experience! We made all of our dishes and enjoyed them when we were finished.
What a wonderful experience! Very hands on and so much fun!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! Hands-on, authentic and fun is exactly what we’ve been aiming for at Mama Florence since 2013. Great ingredients, professional chefs, plenty of cooking together and, of course, a delicious meal around the table at the end. We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience!

Great experience in Florence!
Excellent hands on experience. Gorgeous facility. Francesco, our Chef, was so friendly and helpful. We made and ate one of our best meals in Italy.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Since 2013, we’ve believed that exceptional Italian cooking starts with outstanding ingredients—seasonal produce from local farms, carefully selected artisan products and fine Italian wines. Combine those with our professional chefs and beautiful kitchens, and the result is exactly what we hope for: a hands-on experience and a meal worth remembering. We’re thrilled it was one of your best meals in Italy. Grazie from all of us at Mama Florence! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class cost?
+
Prices start at €139 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 MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class?
+
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 MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class?
+
Around 8 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does MaMa Florence: The Art of Corzetti - Hands-On Pasta Class 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.
