Guidekin's take

Fresh pasta and gnocchi made in a private villa on the hills above Florence, with the city view from the workshop and a host who learned the craft in her grandmother's pasta shop.

Everything you make becomes the meal, with wine, water and coffee included; transport up to the villa is not. Rated 4.95 by 515 travellers at €125 per person.

In our comparison: #9 of 15 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

    Praised

    • Welcoming hosts make the class feel like cooking with friends
    • Patient instruction teaches pasta and gnocchi techniques to use at home
    • A hillside home with views over Florence
    • The freshly prepared pasta dishes and generous wine servings
    • Small groups allow individual attention and easy conversation

    Complaints

    • No recurring complaint; isolated lower ratings cite lesson depth and scheduling or pickup problems
