If you have gluten issues this is for you. We cooked a 4 course dinner. Learned how to make Gluten-free pasta, among many tips from the Chef. We enjoyed the food together after with some spirits. Bon Appetido! Thanks for the fun day.

Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed our gluten-free class and the full four-course experience.
Gluten-free cooking at Mama Florence is not about simply substituting ingredients—it’s about understanding techniques, working with quality ingredients, and learning how to create authentic Italian dishes that are naturally delicious. We’re especially happy that the Chef’s tips gave you something useful to take home with you.
And of course, after all that cooking, sitting down together to enjoy the meal is half the fun! Grazie for spending the day with us!

Wonderful cooking class
Wonderful class that concluded with a wonderful meal! Chef Luca is a great instructor, and both Luca and his assistant Nuana made everyone feel very welcome. Each step of the meal preparation was explained very clearly, and all participated in the process. Highly recommended!

Wonderful GF family experience!
Chef Giacomo gave our family such a wonderful and memorable experience! One of our teenage daughters has celiac so I was excited to find a cooking class that could provide a safe and gluten free experience for all of us. We learned how to make a traditional Tuscan meal, including GF pasta! For whatever reason we ended up being the only family that night, and we were in one of their other catering locations in the Otralno area, and it was magical to eat outdoors beside their beautiful garden where they grow many of their herbs and vegetables. Chef Giacomo was fun, friendly, and helpful, and I know we will make these recipes again!

Thank you so much for your great review!
We're delighted that you and your family enjoyed such a memorable evening with us. At Mama Florence, we're passionate about making authentic Italian cooking accessible to everyone, and we're especially pleased that you appreciated our careful approach to creating a safe and delicious gluten-free experience.
It sounds like you also enjoyed our beautiful Oltrarno venue, enjoying dinner in the garden. Those relaxed moments around the table, surrounded by good food and great company, are exactly what the Original Mama Florence experience has been about since 2013.
We hope you'll enjoy recreating the recipes at home—especially the fresh gluten-free pasta—and that they bring back wonderful memories of your time in Florence.
Grazie mille, and we hope to welcome your family back again one day!

Excellent class—would love option to customize menu.
Instruction and class was fantastic—highly recommend! Would have liked to be able to choose items prepared in order to cater more to guest taste/preferences.
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for your kind review!
We're delighted that you enjoyed the instruction and found the class fantastic and worth recommending. Our goal is to create a fun, hands-on experience while sharing authentic Italian recipes and quality local ingredients.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding menu selection. In our shared classes, we follow a set menu so that all guests can cook together and enjoy a smooth experience.
That said, whenever requests are communicated before hand, reasonable and compatible with the logistics of a shared class setting, we do our best to accommodate individual preferences and dietary needs.
For guests seeking complete flexibility, we also offer private classes where menus can be customized entirely around personal tastes and interests.
Thank you again for cooking with us, and we hope to welcome you back to the original Mama Florence experience in the future!
Warmly,
Laura & the Mama Florence Team

Fantastic, Delicious, and Highly Entertaining Florence Hands-on Cooking Class
My husband James and I enjoyed our MaMa Florence Cooking Class with Giacomo and the preceeding guided tour of il Mercato Centrale Firenze (Central Market) with Yenna Braswell. Exceptional local American guide speaking multiple languages. The cooking class was outstanding!! We felt warmly welcomed and truly entertained by Giacomo with his humor and individual attention to each guest in our group. The flourishing gardens and 300 year old Olive tree orchard made for an ideal setting. We rate this 10/5 and hope to return for a new class on our next visit to most inspiring Firenze! Highly recommend for any newbie to chopping and stirring or foodie alike. Spectacular experience.

We hope one day to welcome you back to Firenze for another exceptional culinary experience. Thank you for highly recommending us!

Highlight of Our Time in Florence!
Our 22-year-old daughter found this online, and since we are a GF family and our daughters love to bake and cook, we were looking for an authentic Tuscan experience while in Florence. THIS WAS IT! The place is so charming. It’s a beautiful old-yet-renovated building nestled into a fun Florence neighborhood. The setting is seriously perfect and makes you feel like you’re in a movie!
Chef Stefano Massoti was wonderful, and we were amazed that the meal we made with him ended up being the best meal we’ve had since arriving in Italy a week ago. Luwana, who helped with everything all evening alongside Chef Stefano, was absolutely delightful! She taught us so much about the culture—things you would only learn from talking to a born-and-raised local. The food, ambience, and entire experience were unforgettable. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Florence, especially families or groups looking for a truly authentic and memorable Tuscan experience.

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review.
We’re particularly happy that you appreciated the atmosphere of our historical kitchen space — creating an environment that feels both special and welcoming, with enough room to truly relax, learn, and enjoy the experience together, is something we care deeply about.
Chef Stefano and Luana will be absolutely delighted by your kind words — authentic food, cultural connection, hands-on learning, and the pleasure of gathering around the table together — is exactly the kind of experience we hope to create every day.
And hearing that the meal you prepared with us was the best of your week in Italy is truly the highest compliment.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for recognising the details and know-how that make boutique culinary experiences so different from more standard tourist activities.
Warmly,
The Mama Florence Team
