- I attended Carlo’s pasta making class in order to learn to make pasta from scratch and perhaps a new sauce or 2. I learned very quickly that pasta is an art and an easy one at that. Gnocchi was also included, also made from scratch. Carlo is very passionate about food, and he shares many tips and tricks during the class. This was my second class with Carlo. They are very hands on so be prepared to get your hands sticky! The classes are very small, and the meal we shared was amazing. I shared a previous class with a wonderful family also visiting Florence! I would highly recommend Carlo’s classes; they are very professional and informative. He also shares the recipes when class is finished.
- Carlo was such a great host! He made the class so much fun and he has a beautiful home. He made our trip! The food was incredible and we can’t wait to recreate it all again at home!
- Chef Carlo cooking class was an exceptional experience. I took his class with my daughters and we made traditional italian dishes. We are so grateful we could learn from him today. We got a lot of insights from him and also tips on how to make pasta sauce, fresh pasta and dessert. The food was delicious !
- We had a fantastic morning with Carlo! He met us at our hotel and guided us through the streets of Florence, sharing a personal and insightful history of this beautiful city. We visited a local market to pick up fresh ingredients for our meal, which added an authentic touch to the experience. At his home, we saw firsthand his passion for Italian cuisine and the rich, regional flavors that make it so special. My wife and I were a little intimidated about making pasta by hand, but Carlo made it approachable and fun. We ended up making two different types of pasta and a delicious tiramisu — all from scratch. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. To top it off, his homemade limoncello was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about Carlo. If you enjoy cooking or simply want a memorable cultural experience, his class is an absolute must.
- Carlo’s cooking class was an amazing experience. Not only did my boyfriend and I learn how to make pasta and my favorite dessert (tiramisu), we learned so much about high quality pasta, the history of Italian cuisine and how the most simplest ingredients can make the most delicious dish if you take your time and put your heart into it. When welcomed to Carlo’s home, you can sense his love and dedication to being a chef and instructor. I will definitely book more classes with him when I return to Florence but for now, I can’t wait to practice everything I’ve learned. Grazie mille, Carlo!

Where
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!
