The experience was the highlight of our trip! The venue brought a home style vibe, the staff was like family, and the food was delicious! As a multi-generational family, the cooking experience was exceptional for all of us. Anna was an amazing chef and teacher. We will book another experience when we visit again!
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We're especially touched that the experience worked so well for your whole multi-generational family. A warm, home-family-like atmosphere, while still enjoying a truly hands-on cooking experience, has always been at the heart of the original Mama Florence experience. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Anna. We're also delighted that you enjoyed the food—we care deeply about quality local products, seasonal vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and authentic Tuscan flavors. As we say "Better meals, better moments". We would be thrilled to welcome you back for another Mama Florence experience on your next visit to Florence! Warmly, Laura & the Mama Florence Team
Five start cooking experience. The instructions and hands on demonstration was excellent.
Thank you so much! We're delighted you enjoyed the hands-on nature of the class and the instruction from our team. Since 2013, the original Mama Florence experience has been built around three simple ingredients: great food, great fun, and genuine participation. We believe the best way to learn Italian cooking is by rolling up your sleeves, working with quality local ingredients, and enjoying the results together around the table. Thank you for cooking with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mama someday! Warmly, The Mama Florence Team

Since 2013, the Original Mama Florence experience has been built around authentic Italian cooking, quality local ingredients, and plenty of participation from every guest. We're especially happy you enjoyed the food. Great Italian cuisine starts with great local ingredients—from seasonal vegetables and artisanal cheeses to extra virgin olive oils and local products sourced with care. Thank you for cooking with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mama Florence one day! Warmly, The Mama Florence Team
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Florence! We learned how to make traditional Tuscan panzanella along with two different types of fresh pasta, all from scratch. The class was hands-on, informative, and a lot of fun. Our instructor did an excellent job explaining each step and sharing the history and traditions behind the dishes. The small group setting made it easy to ask questions and get involved throughout the experience. Everything was fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Sitting down to enjoy the meal we had prepared ourselves, paired with great conversation and a beautiful Florentine setting, made for a truly memorable experience. If you're visiting Florence and want an authentic taste of Tuscan cuisine, this class is a must-do.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that your class was one of the highlights of your time in Florence. Panzanella and fresh pasta are true Tuscan classics, and we're glad you enjoyed learning not only the recipes but also the stories and traditions behind them. Since 2013, we've welcomed travelers from around the world to enjoy the Original Mama Florence Experience: authentic cooking, genuine hospitality, and meaningful moments shared around the table. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed our dedicated Florentine setting and the small-group atmosphere that makes every class personal and engaging. Thank you for cooking with us. We hope to welcome you back for another culinary adventure soon!
