Exclusive Private Pasta Tasting & Cooking Class in Florence

Such a great experience! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time and Pinzochere Lab gave exactly what they promised in the description. In a city like Florence, with so many over crowded tourist attractions, this was SUCH a lovely break from the crowds. We had the whole place to ourselves, it was private but so much fun. The location is right in the heart of Florence but also felt hidden and secret which added to the feeling of exclusivity. Ben speaks great English, is so welcoming and really passionate which comes across and makes it that much more special of an experience. It really gave me a new insight into food and why Italian's love it so much. As someone who does mostly microwave meals in London to get by, the fact we got to eat what we made also meant I left with a new skill, the fact it was delicious as well was the cherry on top! At first when I saw the price I was a bit nervous as I'm normally not a fan of cooking, but my girlfriend was keen and I'm so glad she convinced me to go for it. We spent 3 days in Florence and I definitely think this experience was probably in the top 3 of the most memorable things we did. I'd recommend this for couples, families or a group of friends who want to laugh, take a break from the crowds, and experience what food really means to Italians.

We had a fantastic afternoon here! The workshop is well-kept, and the lesson was very fun and interactive. The chef is super helpful and teaches you tricks that you would not find anywhere else. In the end we ate what we prepared and I can say it was absolutely delicious. A true local experience worth every minute!

We had an amazing time during this cooking class. The location is a remote, very charming old bakery lab, so the authenticity is peak. There was only the 2 of us during the class, which was amazing because we really wanted something private. Benjamin, the chef, was an amazing teacher and very friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are looking for a pasta cooking class in an authentic, simple and chill mood, that is the place to choose !

As residents of Florence, we’re always on the lookout for authentic experiences to share with visiting family, and Pinzochere Lab has become one of our absolute favorites for both their hands-on cooking classes and incredible pastries. We recently booked a private cooking class for a group of 6 (5 adults and our 10-year-old niece visiting from abroad). It was outstanding: fresh, high-quality ingredients—many home-grown on their own countryside farm—combined with clear, patient explanations that made it engaging and fun for everyone, including the kids. The whole experience felt genuinely Tuscan, like stepping into a real home kitchen, and we left with new skills and wonderful memories. On top of that, their artisanal panettone is hands-down one of the best we’ve ever had in the city. I bought one on a whim to try at home—so soft, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor from top-notch ingredients, clearly made in small batches with real care and love. It was so exceptional that I immediately went back and bought 10 more to gift to family and friends over the holidays. Everyone raved about them! Pinzochere Lab is a hidden treasure—authentic, passionate, and far above the usual tourist spots. Whether you’re a local or visitor, don’t miss their classes or seasonal treats. We’ll be back again and again!

I attended a lesson given by Benji in February to a couple of tourists visiting Florence. The lesson is exciting, Benji is a very good teacher who calmly and patiently teaches secrets and tricks of fresh pasta. We made, spaghetti alla chitarra that we seasoned with made ragù and ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach... everything fantastic, from the atmosphere to the things made together...
