    The best experience we had in Italy by far. First of all, Paola and Mario are very kind, polite, and fun. You feel you are at a very close friends house. The place is amazing with beautiful garden and a wonderful view of the valley. For the cooking we learned so much from Paola in terms of choosing the right ingredients to preparation to cooking, and finally tasting. I can’t recommend this experience enough. Don’t hesitate.

    Bellissima esperienza. Paola e Mario hanno contribuito a rendere unico il nostro soggiorno in Toscana grazie alla loro professionalità, organizzazione e soprattutto grazie alla loro passione. Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza per trascorrere una serata diversa, all'insegna della cucina tipica toscana accompagnata da chiacchiere e risate. Consgilio anche per passare, come nel nostro caso, un compleanno diverso Un abbraccio, e un grazie, da Roberta e Luca

    Paola’s cooking class was one of the highlights on our recent trip to Italy! I could not recommend this class/experience enough. Paola is an incredible chef/person & was so welcoming of all of us in her home for an authentic cooking experience. You won’t be disappointed!

    My husband and I, along with our two adult sons, spent a fabulous afternoon and evening cooking with Paola; we were joined by Paola's husband for a delicious and engaging dinner where we feasted on what we had prepared. Paola's home and garden are beautiful. She cooks Tuscan dishes with simplicity and precision and is a great teacher -- calm, organized, knowledgeable and encouraging. Even though we made five dishes together, her prep work made it all flow. Before the lesson, Paola and I worked on a menu that accommodated the vegetarians among us, and she was so gracious throughout that process. All of us learned so much from the lesson, and we could not have had a better time! All of us wholeheartedly recommend cooking with Paola!!

    We enjoyed an absolutely wonderful cooking class hosted by Paola and Mario. Everything was very well prepared and seemed very easy due to the great supervision by Paola. We learned a lot about Tuscan cuisine and enjoyed the wonderful dinner together afterwards in the lovely garden. Best cooking class near Florence, Tuscany. 100% recommended!

    This was one of the highlights of our trip to Florence. Paola taught us how to prepare a menu with a few tomato dishes, a pasta and meat stew. Paola and Mario are excellent hosts and love to share their passion of great food and wine with visitors. Would highly recommend to spend an evening of cooking and dining at their home.
