    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!

    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!

    "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!
