Description
I'm Francesca, passionate about cooking and gastronomy. I learned the art of fresh pasta from my grandmother in her pasta shop, where we started to host this experience. Then I moved it at my house, a true pasta workshop in a beautiful villa on top of the hills, with a stunning view of Florence. I founded “Francyspasta” in 2017, that won several Airbnb Experiences awards, and changed completely my life in better.Time after time I created a group of passionate hosts like me, and now we are a crew of pasta makers, Gaia, Luisa, Tommaso, all very special people who will make our time together unique, in the magical atmosphere of our workshop-house, full of love, light and art in the heart of our splendid Tuscany.

This was one of the biggest highlights of our vacation. We had a blast making pasta, drinking tons of wine, and just hanging out with a few people in a beautiful house with a great view. Luisa was an incredible host and chef for us. Would gladly do it again (and someone in our group actually did it with them before).

Cooking with a fun chef and amazing views
Alessandro hosted such an entertaining cooking class and he was patient with our small group. He offered a lot of information and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Also, the views from the house were hard to beat out of everywhere we went in Tuscany.

Informative, delicious and great with kids
Class was perfection. House and gardens are beautiful, learned to make 2 different pastas and gnocchi, great wine + dessert. Chef was great with the kids, patient and helpful speaking in ways they could understand. Food was delicious, we ate too much but couldn't stop! Thank you for an amazing tour!

Highlight of my trip!
This whole experience was wonderful! I happened to come across a reel on instagram of this very class and decided to check it out. All the reviews raved. Alessandro was amazing! The small class size made everything personalized. The setting was like a movie. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian cooking experience this is it!

A Movie Perfect Tuscan Experience
If I could leave 10 stars I would, When in Florence, do yourself a favor and book this. 🇮🇹🤍 A dreamy drive through the Tuscan hills, incredible food, endless wine, and the warmest welcome from Alessandro—what more could you ask for? Every ingredient, instruction, and little detail was thoughtfully done, but the real magic was the atmosphere. Between the music, laughter, breathtaking views, and Alessandro’s genuine warmth, we went from guests to feeling like part of the Francy family. We came to cook, but left with a memory we’ll never forget. From our California hearts, grazie!

Favorite memory of our trip!
AMAZING!!! We went in April 2025 and it was a highlight of our trip! Somehow realizing I never submitted my review until now. So amazing and they are the most fun and welcoming hosts!
