It was awesome.. a drive through the countryside and then to an intimate kitchen and dining setting in a beautiful place. We had so much fun making bruschetta, focaccia and pizza. And eating it was the best!

BEST experience, we absolutely love it , when I started looking for cooking experience class, it was hard & a little overwhelming, how to choose from so many options… and we always look for reviews/ ratings etc, there was something about this one ..that even tho it didn’t had many reviews or stars I just went ahead and book it … little that we knew it was the best one we ever been to , Mario from the beginning made us feel welcoming & his personality is awesome & when we arrive the place , wow breath taking and the food … I cannot even put into words
I definitely recommend this experience and I will definitely do it again

Mario was a fun and informative host. The venue was wonderful and the food was fabulous. He sent us the recipes and now we can bring a little bit of Florence home with us. Grazie, Mario!

Cooking with fire was an amazing experience! Mario picked us up and was an excellent host - his English is impeccable; he's funny; on the van ride over he turned into a tour guide and told us all about the city as we were driving through.
When we arrived, there was a short walk to the cooking area and on the way we gathered herbs and fruit from alongside the path for cooking. 🤯 So cool!
The outdoor kitchen was envy inducing - I can't get it out of my mind! It was a lakeside porch with a wood fire stove and a beautiful view of the countryside. We made two types of pasta, sauce from scratch, steak Florentine and a delicious dessert with the fruit we picked on the way up. Along with the great food, we tasted delicious wine and met some new vacation friends. It was one of the highlights of our trip! We would absolutely book this experience again.

The most amazing experience! Mario was the best host, both really attentive but also funny and insightful. 100% recommend and great value for money.
We were picked up and driven 20 mins outside of Florence. We stopped on the way to take pictures by the vineyards and olive farms. We then arrived at the most picturesque location by a lake with a dining area and kitchen. We proceeded to make 2 pastas, stopping to eat after each. As we are vegetarian, Mario kindly asked us what we would like instead and we chose aubergine parmigiana. It was amazing. We were constantly topped up on wine throughout the night. And made good friends with another couple there too.

The trip leader and chef, Mario, drove our van from downtown Florence to a beautiful farm growing olives and grapes outside of the city. The class took place in an outdoor kitchen beside a large farm pond stocked with carp-like fish that swam over when they saw us, clearly expecting some snacks! We prepared two kinds of pasta and sauce, while Mario grilled us a steak, then ate it along with two varieties of Chianti. A very fun experience in a spectacular setting.

This was an amazing experience that I recommend for anyone,any age. As a family we really enjoy this day. Out of all the places we went, this one without a dought was the most memorable. Gonzalo is an excellent host and cook. Food was delicious, the ambience was excellent and service was 5 starts. Without a dought everyone should visit and do this tour. It will not be forgotten.

Such a memorable evening with Mario. We stumbled upon Home Cooking walking down a street in Florence. Our teenage son is very interested in cooking so it caught our eye. After speaking with Mario and reading the reviews, we decided to go. The trip to the Villa was a beautiful drive. We stopped along the way to walk and take in the countryside. The pasta lessons were easy and hands on. The food we made from the fresh ingredients was delicious. The wine paring was perfect. We also met other travelers who were interesting to talk to. 1000% the best thing we have done in Italy.

We took the course on conventional pasta, gluten-free pasta and the famous Fiorentina bisteca. Mario, the chef, is an exceptional host. Excellent teacher and wonderful place. I recommend and would do it again. Ask for Randy!
