Best Pasta Cooking Class in Florence!
Chan7303, October 2026
Fabio was an amazing chef and teacher. He provided great instruction with humor, and was very interactive. We had a small class of three people and I enjoyed every minute of it. I learned so much about making and cooking pasta, ravioli, and tiramisu. I highly recommend this cookie class and even more highly recommend Fabio.

Fabio was a great host and teacher. I had a lovely morning visiting the market and then learning how to make a really good ragu as well as pasta and tiramisu. I highly recommend the morning session as the market visit was really interesting and informative. Just don’t eat breakfast before you go! There was plenty of food 😊 I went alone and everyone was friendly
