This was the highlight of our trip. Chef Julio was amazing and the class was so much fun. We learned a lot. With 2 kids having celiac - this was the perfect outing . Our family will remember this night for a long time.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly grateful that your evening with us became such a special memory for your family. I will be sure to pass your compliments on to Chef Giulio—he will be delighted to hear them. It was especially rewarding to see your children enjoy the experience without having to worry about gluten. At our school, we take great care in preparing everything from scratch, and having separate kitchens allows us to welcome families with different dietary needs comfortably and safely. Thank you again for choosing to spend part of your Florence trip with us. We wish your family many more wonderful culinary adventures together! Varinia (chef Vary)
Such a FUN experience!!! Both Chef’s were friendly, humorous, knowledgeable, and great instructors. The atmosphere was beautifully charming, welcoming, with an impressive kitchen! We had the best time and met the loveliest people!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking this class!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! Reading reviews like this truly means the world to us because our goal is not only to teach recipes, but to create real memories around Italian food, wine, laughter, and people coming together around the table. We are so happy you enjoyed the atmosphere, our kitchens, and especially the experience of making everything completely from scratch alongside our chefs. Here in Florence we deeply believe authentic Italian cooking should be hands-on, welcoming, fun, and full of personality — just like a real Italian family gathering. And honestly… one of the most magical parts of our classes is exactly what you described: strangers arriving as guests and leaving as friends. Thank you again for trusting us during your time in Florence. We hope to cook together again someday! Warm hugs from Florence, Chef Vary & Team
This was a fun, active and delicious cooking lesson & dinner. Wear comfy shoes as you'll be standing for 2 hours while cooking.
hahaha Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are truly happy you enjoyed your gluten-free cooking adventure with us! Yes… we really do cook EVERYTHING from scratch here — no pre-made doughs, no ready-made sauces, no shortcuts hiding in the kitchen! Just fresh ingredients, flour everywhere, happy hands, and a little bit of Italian kitchen chaos in the best possible way. From kneading the pasta dough to preparing the sauces together, we want our guests to experience what real Italian home cooking actually feels like (which is also why comfy shoes become part of the experience ). It was a pleasure cooking, laughing, and sharing dinner with you. Grazie again for spending your time with us in Florence, and we hope you will recreate your pasta feast back home!
You will be cooking. They walk thru all the steps and offer great cooking advice. Highly recommend-small group of 12.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed the experience One of our main goals is exactly this: guiding our guests step by step, so you don’t just watch… you will be cookingand truly learning techniques you can recreate at home. We’re also glad you appreciated the small group atmosphere—keeping things personal makes a big difference. For our gluten-free classes, we go even further, with a maximum of 8 participants to ensure an even more attentive and tailored experience. We hope to welcome you again soon for another delicious adventure!
Outstanding gluten-free cooking class with Chef Vary! She was fun and engaging and the food we made was exceptional!
How do we go about getting the recipes? They were fantastic and told the recipies could be sent to the booking agent.
Thank you for your review! Regarding the recipes, we gave you our business card and asked you to send us an email, as we’re not able to send a booklet through Viator. Do you still have it? Thank you!
Chef Vary made our experience very enjoyable. We made gluten free, dairy free foccacia, ravioli, gnocchi, and tagliatelle all in less than 2.5 hours. It was fun and very informative.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our time with Chef Vary. Not only did we consider this one of the best things we did on our trip to Italy, the finished meal was also among the best we had. Chef Vary is unmatched in her culinary expertise as well as her warm and inviting demeanor. Anyone who is fortunate enough to take a class with Chef Vary will leave utterly delighted, incredibly full, and with a memory to last a lifetime.
Yes its a little pricey but sooooo worth it!!!! My teen has celiac and it was awesome to be able to show her how easy it is (with the right ingredients) to make fresh gluten free pasta and simple delicious sauces. We made ravioli, potato gnocchi and spaghetti with another family with a young adult with celiac so it was nice to also share info about GF restaurants we've both been to in Italy to add to our plans. Irene is a doll and partnered with our daughter to make the pasta. Her tips and humor made the class perfection! Afterwards Chef Vary shares all of the recipes and more so you can try it at home!
Our Gluten Free pasta class with Chef Vary was phenomenal!!! Our son is GF so we wanted him to be able to experience all of the delicious pasta here! The entire group loved every bite! If you have a GF person in your group I definitely recommend reaching out to Chef Vary!!! It was delicious, fun and we even left with the recipes!!!
