Unique cooking class in the Tuscan hills.
We randomly met Chef Mario at the office as we walked by his store front. He was very friendly and engaging, but after he explained the tour, we were in. He drove us and 5 other people to the event. We drove into the Tuscan hillside and a villa in the midst of olive trees and vineyards. He has a small cabin near a large pond where he starts a fire on which we cooked and begins opening wine. It was a great evening of making 2 types of pasta by hand. The small group was awesome and the atmosphere better. He topped off the pasta dinner with a shared steak before making tiramisu. When we were done, we were very happy we went and would recommend to anyone who wants a unique cooking and wine experience.

THE highlight of an amazing fortnight in Florence. Fun, great trip, amazing food. Go for it.
This was an amazing evening. We were persuaded by Mario to give it a go (at that point I hadn't properly realised that he was also the chef). I'm so glad we went. Educational - making the pasta was straightforward. Great fun - this was both Mario and the two others who happened to be on our trip. A really good meal. I hadn't properly realised that we would have an amazing steak as well as the pasta. A generous selection of local wine. Finished with grilled apple and cream. All of this in addition to a drive through the beautiful Tuscan countryside, a (short and not cumpulsory) walk between the olive groves and the vinyards to a secluded open air kitchen beside a lake with carp and Dorita (you're not allowed to call her a turtle!). There is an indoor kitchen if the weather is poor. (We had thunder in Florence just before we were picked up - but the weather cleared magnificently before we got out to Bagna a Ripoli) It is good for groups, singles or couples. We went as a couple, there were two singles with us. If all of this sounds unremittingly positive, like the other reviews, that is simply because that is the way it is. It isn't a budget evening, but it is probably the best €150 I've spent in a long time.

A great way to experience Tuscan food!
We had a wonderful and fun morning with Chef Mario learning how to make three different types of fresh pasta. I was especially excited to participate because I have dietary restrictions - I am gluten and dairy free. Mario took extra care to work with my family in two separate spaces so that I could learn how to make gluten free pasta at the same time. He was a gracious host and we also enjoyed wine with our delicious meal. We left completely stuffed! I can’t wait to recreate our dishes at home.

Wonderful morning with Gonzalo!
Fabulous Florence morning class and lunch with Gonzalo. Really a highlight of our stay in Florence. I recommend it to anyone as he is so flexible and made this a really fun adventure. We met him in city center and cooked with him his historic newly remodeled kitchen space. We made three types of pasta and tiramisu! Don't miss out! Was worth every penny.

highly recommended
The shop is located a walking distance from de Academy Museum. We booked a Chianti tour. It was wonderful! We visit a Monastery, where they show us the cellars where the monks made liquors, then we try them. If you go to Florence you absolutely should do it. After we did a wine tasting in a winery where they also produce cheeses so we tasted the cheeses with their respective wines. The tour finished with a great home cooking dinner with "bistecca alla fiorentina " highly recommended"
Response from the operator: thanks so much

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pasta class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Pasta class cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Pasta class take?
+
Plan for about 4.2 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 Pasta class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 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 Pasta class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pasta class?
+
Around 2 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 4.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 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 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.
