What an amazing evening! The experience of learing to make pasta in Italy with other people from all over was truely a one of a kind evening. The staff was friendly, engaging and encouraging to those of us who were non-cooks. After we made the pasta, we all sat down at a big long table to enjoy our meal with the new friends we had made while preparing the food. One of the best things we did on our 2 week trip.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! Bringing people together around one long table is at the heart of the Mama Florence experience, and we love knowing that you arrived as strangers and finished the evening sharing food and stories as new friends.
Our family-run school is rooted in Florence’s local culinary culture and in a long tradition of genuine hospitality. Mama Florence has welcomed guests since 2013 continuing the story of what was once a neighbourhood gastronomia dating back to 1890. Our friendly, professional team takes great pride in keeping that spirit alive and making everyone feel at home—even complete non-cooks!
We’re truly honoured to have been one of the highlights of your two-week trip to Italy. We hope to welcome you back to the Mama family one day!

Great way to spend a morning in Florence.
We did the gelato and pizza making class with Luca. He was fantastic as was the pizza and gelato. We was a great teacher. Highly recommend.
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much! We’ll make sure Luca sees your lovely words—he’ll be delighted.
Pizza and gelato may look simple, but both have deep roots in Italian food culture, and learning the right ingredients, techniques and little details makes all the difference. Since 2013, that’s what we’ve loved sharing at Mama Florence: authentic Italian traditions taught by professional chefs in a way that is hands-on, relaxed and fun.
Grazie for cooking with Luca and for recommending us. We hope to have you back in the kitchen one day!

Solo highly recommended recommendation
This was a fabulous experience from the moment you arrived through cooking through waiting for the dinner to be finished to gathering at the table with all the people and sharing a wonderful meal of what we all cooked together. It was amazing. It was so good. I highly recommend it!!
事業者からの返答
Thank you for such a wonderful description of the Mama Florence experience! You captured exactly what we’ve wanted to create since 2013: not simply a cooking class, but the whole journey—from preparing authentic dishes together with quality ingredients to finally gathering around one table, sharing the food you’ve made with people you may only have met a few hours earlier. As we say Better meals. Better moments! We’re so happy you were part of it!

We did a hands on cooking dinner experience! We made all of our dishes and enjoyed them when we were finished.
What a wonderful experience! Very hands on and so much fun!

Great experience in Florence!
Excellent hands on experience. Gorgeous facility. Francesco, our Chef, was so friendly and helpful. We made and ate one of our best meals in Italy.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
Since 2013, we’ve believed that exceptional Italian cooking starts with outstanding ingredients—seasonal produce from local farms, carefully selected artisan products and fine Italian wines. Combine those with our professional chefs and beautiful kitchens, and the result is exactly what we hope for: a hands-on experience and a meal worth remembering.
We’re thrilled it was one of your best meals in Italy. Grazie from all of us at Mama Florence! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Intimate, wonderful cooking experience
My husband and I had a wonderful cooking experience with Mama Florence! I bought a pasta maker as soon as we got home! So good,
Hope we can recreate! Thank you!
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for your lovely words!
We’re absolutely delighted that you and your husband had such a wonderful experience with us — and hearing that you bought a pasta machine as soon as you got home is possibly one of the best compliments a cooking school could receive! 😊
At Mama Florence, we work hard to create an experience that goes beyond the typical cooking class — authentic hands-on learning, professional chefs, quality ingredients, and a warm, genuine atmosphere for true food lovers. We also love helping guests discover beautiful artisanal and niche culinary products they can take home to keep the inspiration alive.
We hope your pasta adventures are delicious, and even if the first batch isn’t quite nonna level, the joy of making it together is what matters most.
Thank you again for choosing Mama Florence, and we hope to cook with you again one day!
Warmly,
The Mama Florence Team

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
I attended a fresh pasta course in Florence and it was a simply extraordinary experience! From the first moment we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism, in an authentic and attention to detail, in the heart of the city.
The chef, passionate and well prepared, guided us step by step in the preparation of real fresh Italian pasta explaining techniques, secrets and curiosities about the Tuscan tradition. Each explanation was clear and engaging, perfect for both beginners and those who already have some cooking experience.
The best part? Put literally “hands in the dough” and then taste together the result of our work, accompanied by excellent local wine. A convivial, fun and authentic moment, which made me feel part of Italian culture.
I recommend this course to anyone visiting Florence and wanting to live a real experience, far from the usual

Grazie mille per questa splendida recensione! Siamo davvero felici che la tua esperienza con la pasta fresca sia stata così straordinaria. Condividere le tecniche e i segreti della nostra tradizione è la nostra passione, ed è fantastico sapere che ti sei divertito a mettere 'le mani in pasta' e ad assaporare il risultato insieme a un buon bicchiere di vino. Condivideremo sicuramente le tue bellissime parole con il nostro chef. Grazie di cuore per aver scelto MaMa Florence!

Magnificent and unique experience
Great experience.
Stefano, the chef, very helpful, easygoing and professional.
We spent a fantastic afternoon in company and I think it is very useful for those who have to approach Italian cuisine.
Despite not having much experience in the cooking industry, I enjoyed and learned.
Very useful and nice idea to leave the recipes of what we cook together during the course: I will try to cook everything independently at home.
I recommend this experience to everyone!
