Must Do Cooking Class snd Market Tour
Absolutely amazing experience! This was my favorite thing we did in Florence. Authentic Italian market tour was very cool and felt authentic, and Chef Davide was so fun! Delicious! 1000% recommend!

Amazing class, so fun!
Andrea was incredible! Such a warm, funny, experienced chef. The pasta we made was unbelievable yet very accessible — I can definitely see us making this food again at home. Going to the local market was also really cool!

Best pasta making class!!
We had an unforgettable experience at Pasta Class Florence with the amazing MasterChef Davide! From the moment we met, he made our family feel welcome and excited for the day ahead. He took us on a local market tour to handpick the freshest vegetables and chicken, then introduced us to his friend Stefano—the “Cheese Wizard”—for an incredible tasting experience. Back in the kitchen, Chef Davide guided us through making fresh pasta from scratch. He was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and—most importantly—absolutely hilarious. We were laughing the entire time while learning real techniques we can’t wait to try at home. Chef Davide made the experience personal, fun, and unforgettable. Thank you for the memories—can’t wait to cook with you again!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much to appreciate our class and Davide! He's such a great chef :)

Do not miss this experience!
Simone was a superb teacher! We started across the street at the wonderful fresh market with cheese and salami/prosciutto boards with other treats. (Parmesano Reggiano, need I say more? )Moved onto the finest butcher stalls with meats/poultry. Simone asked me what I liked and was making up recipes as we went from butchers and spice stalls to the outside produce market. Omg. Fresh artichoke, fava beans, basil. At their lovely new kitchen across the street we spent the morning making the 3 most beautiful sauces and fresh pasta by hand. Honestly, the duck ragout was to die for. The artichoke sauce was incredible. The pesto so elevated! Honestly, it was my favorite experience in Italy. I should’ve done this first instead of at the end of the trip because it was so educational. Even if you have a Nonna, do this!
Response from the operator: We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time with us! Thank you for sharing your experience! 💛

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour in Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour in Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour in Florence take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour in Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour 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 Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour in Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour in Florence?
+
Around 1 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Pasta Cooking Class and Market Tour 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 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.
