Experience Details

Cooking in a Local's Home with Seasonal Ingredients, in a Typical Italian Neighborhood in The Heart of Florence


We will tour the farmer’s market where you will learn about seasonality, Italian butchery, salumi & cheese. We will create a personalized menu choosing what’s in season that day to create two fresh pastas and two sauces. After, designing our seasonal menu we will go back to my place, a classic Florentine apartment, in the heart of Sant’Ambrogio for a taste of local life. During this hands on experience you will make two pastas, two sauces, tiramisu for dessert and taste some Tuscan bites on some Tuscan bites along with prosecco/spritz while we cook so we don't get angry. This class is vegetarian friendly.


Once we’re done cooking, we’ll enjoy the dreamy pasta we’ve created with wine pairing, followed by our tiramisu for our lunch.

What You’ll Experience

We'll meet in Sant'Ambrogio, a district in the center of Florence, which will give you a taste for local lifestyle and culture. Not only is it a hub for Florentine life, but it is foodie central. I'll take you to the market and show you the most AMAZING, vibrant, seasonal produce, and introduce you to my friends at the market. They only let me get the freshest of zucchini, tomatoes, stone fruits, citrus, aromatic herbs, cheeses and salumis. Then I will show you the inside of the market with the local butchers, cheese and salumi guy. You'll get to try some local artisanal salumi & cheese before we move on to the bakery which makes biscotti you'll be dreaming about even after you return home, as well as the very best Tuscan bread you'll ever have. After we will return to my typical Florentine apartment in Sant'Ambrogio to cook our lunch while hearing the local hustle and bustle of the neighborhood while we cook for the most authentic experience. I'll help you get a genuine taste that is off the beaten path and not the typical fresh pasta experience. Once we are ready to cook we'll enjoy our fresh pasta with some wine selected by me to complement the seasonal pastas we have created
