トスカーナ料理教室 - 伝統的なパスタ メニュー

We had a fantastic time and learned a lot! Giacomo shared family recipes and his vast cooking and wine knowledge. Very detailed class including instructions on how to choose proper ingredients, how to prepare them, how to cook them and present a finished dish. Also a great discussion on wine and how to pair selections with each dish. This is a working farm so Giacomo’s knowledge of foods and wines goes all the way back to the soil that provides them. A beautiful location. The intimate hands on instruction is excellent and everyone is friendly and helpful. Each step is fully explained, then demonstrated, and then each person performs the task with supervision and encouragement to create their own meal that is enjoyed at end of the class in a beautiful setting. Recipes and pictures are included. We are looking forward to using what we have learned at our next family gathering! We highly recommend it as an essential part of a visit to the Tuscany area. It really made our time here complete. As a side note we also recommend a visit to the town of Montepulciano. This was our favorite town in the area with very friendly people and a long rich history.

Excellent experience to share with the family! Giacomo explained each of the cooking steps perfectly, gave us some very good tips, and at the end of the class, he prepared a delicious meal for us and gave us wines that paired perfectly with each dish. 100% recommended!

If you are looking for an authentic Tuscan cooking experience, we cannot recommend Giacomo enough. When searching for a cooking class, we were hoping to find something beyond simply learning a few recipes. We wanted to understand how Tuscan families cook using traditional ingredients, techniques, and generations of knowledge. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that preserving this authenticity is incredibly important to Giacomo. He shared wonderful stories about how he learned many of his techniques from his grandmother, which made the experience feel truly personal and meaningful. Throughout the class, Giacomo did much more than teach us how to prepare each dish. He shared his knowledge about selecting quality ingredients, explained the reasoning behind different cooking methods, and provided insight into the history and traditions behind the recipes. I left feeling that I had gained a much deeper appreciation for Tuscan cuisine rather than just a set of instructions to follow. It was evident how passionate Giacomo is about his craft and how much he values family. His wife assisted with the class, and their children even stopped by to say hello, adding to the genuine and welcoming atmosphere. One of the most special parts of the experience was knowing that we were supporting a family-run business and being welcomed into their home, rather than attending a more commercial cooking experience. Giacomo went above and beyond to make our time memorable. He thoughtfully captured photos of our family throughout the class and promptly shared them with us afterward via WhatsApp. He also emailed us the recipes so we could recreate the dishes at home. After dessert, he kindly invited us to relax and enjoy the beautiful views from their family property while he finished cleaning the kitchen. The food itself was exceptional. We were amazed by the generous amount of food provided, and each dish was thoughtfully paired with a wine that complemented the flavours perfectly. This experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany. Giacomo created something that was not only educational, but also deeply authentic, personal, and memorable. We are incredibly grateful for the time we spent with him and would recommend this experience to anyone. Five stars!

What a fantastic experience! This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip. Our chef was a true professional with high standards and a passion for teaching. He expected everyone to pay close attention and follow along carefully. As the class went on, his warm and funny personality really came through. We laughed together, learned so much about authentic Italian cooking, and had an incredible time. The meal he prepared with the pasta we created was absolutely delicious, and the wines paired with each course made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for a hands-on class with a talented chef who genuinely wants you to learn, not just cook, this is the one. We left with wonderful memories, new skills, and recipes we’ll actually use at home.

My husband and I just took a cooking class with Giacomo at his family farm estate and it was wonderful. Giacomo is very passionate about his culture, family history of cooking, and sharing tips and knowledge with others. It was a thorough class learning about the specificity of ingredients and steps to make delicious and homemade pasta dishes and dessert. We made traditional Tuscan dishes including tagliatelle, pici, and tiramisu. We ate all three as well as a traditional bruschetta assortment prepared by Giacomo. Each dish was paired with a specific wine from the region that Giacomo chose. It was all SO good! Thank you to Giacomo and his wife Cristiana, for opening up your home to teach and share delicious meals with others!

One of the best decisions we made on our honeymoon was this cooking class with the Caggiole family. Giacomo and Cristiana welcomed us into their home and we learned so much about food, their family, and Tuscan culture. They patiently taught us how to make homemade pasta and tiramisu from scratch, and eating the food after we worked so hard made the entire experience feel complete. These are people who love what they do and love sharing it. We're back home now and have already impressed our family and friends with our new recipes and techniques! More than the skills though, we keep thinking about the special afternoon we spent in their kitchen. Thank you very much, Giacomo and Cristiana! We understand more than ever that there's no substitute for quality ingredients and patience.

This cooking class with Giacomo was a day we will never forget! Giacomo is incredibly knowledgeable about his product, both food and the wine he pairs with each dish. We prepared pici, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. Giacomo explained each of the ingredients and gave us some tips for how to know you have the highest quality eggs (very important for tiramisu!). He was patient with his demonstrations and helpful when we needed it. It was an amazing experience to hand roll pici and to prepare tagliatelle. The tasting at the end of the class was incredible. Giacomo paired each dish with a wine and explained the pairing. We look forward to trying these recipes at home and bringing a little taste of Italy back to the US with us. We highly recommend this experience!

If you want a genuine Tuscan experience in a beautiful farm with lovely people, this is what you're looking for. Giacomo and Cristiana (and their thoughtful staff and sweet children) make you feel at home from the moment you arrive and then gently and expertly teach you the secrets of authentic home cooking. I'd always been a bit intimidated by home-made pasta and now I can't imagine NOT making it at home. They demystified it and opened a whole new world to me. Grazie!

This is a wonderful experience with a professional chef who is passionate about authentic food and local organic produce Giacomo was meticulous about ensuring we all developed the specific skills to recreate the dishes when at home We made picci and tagliatelle from scratch and tiramisu to his grandmother recipe At the end of the class Giacomo and his team have cooked the pasta you made and added delicious sauces (the picci with local pecorino cheese was a sensation!). All four courses are paired with delicious local wine, curated by Giacomo who is also a sommelier

An unforgettable Tuscan cooking experience! The cooking class at Le Caggiole was one of the highlights of our trip. The instruction was clear, hands-on, and enjoyable, making it easy for everyone to participate regardless of cooking experience. We learned authentic Tuscan recipes using fresh local ingredients and gained a deeper appreciation for the region’s culinary traditions. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the hosts made us feel like part of the family. Sitting down to enjoy the meal we had prepared together was a wonderful experience. If you’re visiting the area and want a genuine taste of Tuscany, I highly recommend this cooking class. It was fun, educational, and absolutely delicious!
