Semi-Private Gluten-Free Cooking Class in Florence with wine

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted that you enjoyed the class, the recipes, and the relaxed atmosphere created by your personal chef! We especially appreciate your comment about being only three participants. For us, a small class is never a problem—quite the opposite. We are genuinely happy to welcome even just a few guests, as this allows us to offer an even more personal, hands-on, and enjoyable experience. We are also very pleased that you noticed how clean the facility was. In a gluten-free cooking class, cleanliness is not simply about appearance: safety is essential. Our gluten-free classes take place in a dedicated, completely separate kitchen, with its own equipment and utensils. This means that our guests can actively prepare every recipe themselves in a safe environment, rather than simply watching or cooking in a shared traditional kitchen. It was a pleasure making ravioli with leek sauce, homemade spaghetti, and focaccia with caramelized onions together. A few fresh, simple ingredients and good company are often the secret to the best Italian food!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly grateful that your evening with us became such a special memory for your family. I will be sure to pass your compliments on to Chef Giulio—he will be delighted to hear them. It was especially rewarding to see your children enjoy the experience without having to worry about gluten. At our school, we take great care in preparing everything from scratch, and having separate kitchens allows us to welcome families with different dietary needs comfortably and safely. Thank you again for choosing to spend part of your Florence trip with us. We wish your family many more wonderful culinary adventures together! Varinia (chef Vary)

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! Reading reviews like this truly means the world to us because our goal is not only to teach recipes, but to create real memories around Italian food, wine, laughter, and people coming together around the table. We are so happy you enjoyed the atmosphere, our kitchens, and especially the experience of making everything completely from scratch alongside our chefs. Here in Florence we deeply believe authentic Italian cooking should be hands-on, welcoming, fun, and full of personality — just like a real Italian family gathering. And honestly… one of the most magical parts of our classes is exactly what you described: strangers arriving as guests and leaving as friends. Thank you again for trusting us during your time in Florence. We hope to cook together again someday! Warm hugs from Florence, Chef Vary & Team

hahaha Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are truly happy you enjoyed your gluten-free cooking adventure with us! Yes… we really do cook EVERYTHING from scratch here — no pre-made doughs, no ready-made sauces, no shortcuts hiding in the kitchen! Just fresh ingredients, flour everywhere, happy hands, and a little bit of Italian kitchen chaos in the best possible way. From kneading the pasta dough to preparing the sauces together, we want our guests to experience what real Italian home cooking actually feels like (which is also why comfy shoes become part of the experience ). It was a pleasure cooking, laughing, and sharing dinner with you. Grazie again for spending your time with us in Florence, and we hope you will recreate your pasta feast back home!

For our gluten-free classes, we go even further, with a maximum of 8 participants to ensure an even more attentive and tailored experience.
