Make Pasta Like an Italian, Then Eat It with Wine

You'll learn to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch at a working Florence restaurant, then eat both dishes with wine and limoncello. Four daily time slots (10am, noon, 3pm, 7pm) let you fit it around the rest of your day. The class includes your meal and drinks, so you're not paying extra to eat what you cooked — it's all part of the booking.

The Experience

"You don't need to be perfect — you need to feel it," the host said, watching me fold the pasta dough for the third time. That's the whole thing about a cooking class in Florence, at least this one: it's not about technique alone, it's about the rhythm of it, the way your hands learn what the flour needs. You roll up your sleeves at one of four restaurants around the city — Corte de' Pazzi near the Duomo, Cantinone in Santa Spirito, Beccafico by the river, or back to Cantinone for the evening slot — and for the next few hours, you stop being a tourist and start being someone who knows how to make fresh pasta.

The class runs at 10am, noon, 3pm, or 7pm depending on which restaurant your booking lands you at, and you'll spend the time learning two things: how to roll and shape pasta by hand the way locals do, and the secret moves for tiramisu that separate a decent one from the kind you'll think about for months. Your host walks you through it all, answers questions about Italian food without rushing, and doesn't pretend it's harder than it is. The kitchen fills with flour dust and the smell of butter and eggs, and you're working alongside other people who showed up the same day, so there's that easy conversation that happens when you're both concentrating on not tearing the dough.

When it's done — and it goes faster than you'd think — you sit down and eat what you made. The pasta you rolled is plated in front of you, the tiramisu you layered is there too, and it comes with wine, limoncello, and coffee. You can stay at the restaurant after, sitting with whoever you cooked alongside, or walk out into the neighborhood. If you're at Cantinone or Beccafico, you're in Santa Spirito or near the Oltrarno, both places where you can wander without a plan and find something worth finding.

What’s included

Your class includes fresh pasta and tiramisu instruction, the meal you prepare (served with wine, limoncello, and coffee), and time to ask questions about Italian cooking. You'll cook at one of four family-run restaurants in central Florence, and after the class you can stay to linger with your group or head out to explore Santa Spirito or the Oltrarno on your own.
