A Delicious, Social, Fun Experience!
As one who was a tad anxious (because I do not do so well in the kitchen ) this hands-on class was designed for all skill levels. It was a yummy and social learning experience! We can’t wait to try our recipes .., planning a Tuscan dinner for friends back home. 🩷

Fun time!!
This was a nice experience with my daughter. Very fun people that were there as well. Staff was great!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re delighted that you and your daughter enjoyed the experience together. For us, cooking has always been about connection and sharing, and since 2013 we’ve loved seeing people of different ages and from all over the world meet in our kitchens, cook together, have fun and then gather around the same table. Grazie for your kind words about our team, and we hope you and your daughter took home some wonderful Florence memories! ❤️

Fun Florence cooking class!
We had a wonderful time at Mama Florence and the Tuscan Cooking class. Chef Giacomo and assistants Milo and Aksel made it so fun. We had four courses: Apple Pecorino & Cabbage Salad, Tagliatelle Pasta, Meatballs & Beans, and Panna Cotta with Berries. We chopped fresh vegetables, rolled meatballs and created pasta. We ate our delicious meal while enjoying fine Italian wine. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’ll make sure Giacomo, Milo and Aksel see your kind words. We’re especially happy you enjoyed the full Tuscan cooking experience. At Mama Florence, cooking is about much more than simply making fresh pasta. Since 2013, we’ve wanted our guests to work with carefully selected, high-quality local and seasonal ingredients and learn how they come together across an entire Italian meal—from preparing fresh vegetables and traditional sauces to meat dishes, pasta and dessert. And of course, the experience isn’t complete until everyone sits down together to enjoy what they’ve cooked, accompanied by quality Italian wines. Grazie for sharing our kitchen and table with us!

Fantastic!
The cooling class was wonderful! The host was great and the chef's were very attentive and helpful. A fantastic meal in the end along with great wine.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed the class, the attention from our chefs, and of course the meal you all created together. At Mama Florence, the experience doesn’t end at the stove. We love bringing everyone around the table to enjoy the food accompanied by **carefully selected, quality Italian wines** that complement the dishes and introduce another part of our local food and wine culture. Grazie for cooking, dining and raising a glass with us! 🍷

MaMa Florence- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does MaMa Florence- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $193 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- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence 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- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 83 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- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence?
+
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- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence 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- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence?
+
Around 29 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- Tuscan Cooking Class in Florence 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.
