Description

Good to Know

If you don't want to find yourself at a crowded table with 20 people, fighting for a rolling pin or some flour, you've come to the right place. We offer private lessons or for small groups: for us making pasta is a memory of those Sundays together with family and friends, sharing laughter and special moments. You will learn in the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of an authentic 1900s workshop. You will receive hands-on training from a local professional chef who will guide you in creating your own fresh pasta, discovering techniques that are easy to replicate at home by transforming your kitchen into a flavor laboratory. We will explore Tuscan culinary traditions, with stories about recipes that have stood the test of time. We will choose fresh and seasonal ingredients, for dishes rich in authentic Tuscan flavors. We have vegetarian options and ask you to notify us of any food restrictions in advance. All tools and ingredients are provided for a stress-free experience!

All materials, tools and ingredients needed for the courses will be provided by the laboratory and are included in the cost.

Allergies? Are you pregnant? Vegetarians? Vegans? Let us know in advance!

Tip

During our culinary experience, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of fresh pasta! Here's what you'll do: 1. Introduction to Fresh Pasta: We will start with a brief introduction on the various types of pasta and their history, to understand the culinary traditions that accompany them. 2. Preparation of the Dough: You will learn to mix and knead the dough with fresh ingredients, discovering the secrets to get a perfect dough. 3. Preparation of Sauces : You will discover how to prepare delicious sauces that will accompany your pasta. You will have the opportunity to choose your favorites and learn how to make them. 4. Formation of pasta : You will move on to the creation phase, cutting and shaping the pasta into classic shapes such as tagliatelle, farfalle or ravioli, depending on your preference. 5. Cooking and Tasting: After creating your pasta, we will cook it together and you will have the opportunity to taste the dishes you have prepared. We will share a convivial moment to enjoy together the fruit of your work according to the Italian traditions that make our cuisine a UNESCO heritage site.

One of our most memorable experiences from Florence

Such a great experience! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time and Pinzochere Lab gave exactly what they promised in the description. In a city like Florence, with so many over crowded tourist attractions, this was SUCH a lovely break from the crowds. We had the whole place to ourselves, it was private but so much fun. The location is right in the heart of Florence but also felt hidden and secret which added to the feeling of exclusivity. Ben speaks great English, is so welcoming and really...read more

SPECTACULAR!!!

We had a fantastic afternoon here! The workshop is well-kept, and the lesson was very fun and interactive. The chef is super helpful and teaches you tricks that you would not find anywhere else. In the end we ate what we prepared and I can say it was absolutely delicious. A true local experience worth every minute!

Amazing experience and delicious food !

We had an amazing time during this cooking class. The location is a remote, very charming old bakery lab, so the authenticity is peak. There was only the 2 of us during the class, which was amazing because we really wanted something private. Benjamin, the chef, was an amazing teacher and very friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are looking for a pasta cooking class in an authentic, simple and chill mood, that is the place to choose !

Exceptional Cooking Classes and the Best Artisanal Panettone in Florence – A True Local Gem!

As residents of Florence, we’re always on the lookout for authentic experiences to share with visiting family, and Pinzochere Lab has become one of our absolute favorites for both their hands-on cooking classes and incredible pastries. We recently booked a private cooking class for a group of 6 (5 adults and our 10-year-old niece visiting from abroad). It was outstanding: fresh, high-quality ingredients—many home-grown on their own countryside farm—combined with clear, patient explanations that ...read more
