Sant’Ambrogio market is the second food market in Florence and the one where locals still go shopping.
It’s an authentic and interesting market where King Charles spent a whole morning when he was still a Prince. Stuffed with local vegetables, meat, and also fish it’s a great place to start our class by buying some fresh ingredients and exploring the most interesting stalls.
After the market, we will walk to my home and start the cooking class. We will prepare a bruschetta with fresh seasonal ingredients, homemade ravioli, and a dessert.

- Wow! We had the most amazing experience with Carlo. From two very inexperienced chefs, he was so patient with us and made sure we understood every step of the process. He answered all of our questions, and is so kind and genuine. He is so welcoming and made us feel right at home! We left and immediately began sourcing the materials to bring our newfound knowledge back home to share and cook for our friends!
- We had a lovely afternoon with Carlo learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. He was warm and inviting to his home and it was just what we needed as we’d been doing a lot of sightseeing! Although I am of Italian descent I learned a lot about making pasta, cooking and life in florence. Grazie Mille Carlo! Great teacher!
- Carlo hosted my family for a wonderful evening. He instructed us on cooking homemade pasta and tiramisu! We learned a lot about Italian cuisine throughout the evening and enjoyed every moment. I’d highly recommend Carlo for a class - great food, great host!
- We learned how to cook two types of pasta and tiramisu during the class. Carlo was very patient answering all those questions out of our curiosity. It was an interesting and unforgettable experience, especially for us since we had no experience making pasta ourselves. Making authentic handmade pasta may take more efforts than you thought :P Also had great casual talk with Carlo from cuisines to local lifestyle. Have to say the food we made together tasted very well. My wife and I would strongly recommend everyone to join Carlo's class during your Florence stay!
- Our cooking class with Carlo was terrific. Carlo is a terrific host and teacher and the food was spectacular. a real highlight of our time in Firenze

Carlo
Cesarina from 2021Location: Florence Languages: English and Italian"I love good food and I have been cooking for a lifetime! For years, I have also been dedicated to the search for cuisine that is not only delicious but also health-conscious: low-cholesterol and low-sugar desserts, and homemade pasta made with stone-ground flours from small mills... In many cases, it is possible to cook great dishes with local ingredients, without compromising on health." However, this should not be an excuse for creating mediocre dishes: if they are not good, it's pointless for them to be healthy!
