- On our recent visit to Tuscany, my daughter and I booked a cooking class with the wonderful Bina. We both agree that it was by far the best experience of our trip! Bina and her wonderful husband Massimo welcomed us into their home and treated us as if we were old friends. Wine was poured, and the fun began. We began with a very detailed explanation of how to prepare a wonderful tiramisu — or as Bina liked to call it — Binamisu! It was fun and, when it came down to later eating it, it was absolutely delicious. We were then shown how to prepare different types of pasta from scratch, from preparing the dough and rolling it by hand (so fun) to creating the different types of pasta. We also got to make a heart-shaped pizza, which was a delightful surprise. When it came down to all of us finally sitting down to eat all the delicious foods we prepared, it couldn’t have been a more warm and welcoming experience. There was more wine, and laughter, and even some singing. It felt as if we could have stayed all night, that’s how warm and welcoming our hosts were. If you want to take away not just how to prepare some dishes, but to have a memorable and delightful experience, with two of the nicest people you could ever want to meet, then book your class with Bina and Massimo. You will be extremely happy (and full!) An absolutely wonderful experience!!
- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Unforgettable Experience! We had the absolute joy of celebrating a “big” birthday with a personal cooking class hosted by the wonderful Binna and her beautiful family. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Binna’s colorful personality, warmth, and infectious energy instantly set the tone for what became an unforgettable day. Together with her husband Massimo—a true artist in every sense—their lovely daughter, Eliza, and charming grandson, we were invited into their home and hearts. We learned the delicate art of pasta making, enjoyed mouthwatering homemade focaccia pizza, and, of course, shared plenty of wine, laughter, singing, and even some dancing! It wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a full immersion into Italian hospitality, family, and joy. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories we’ll cherish forever. Grazie mille, Binna and family, for a truly magical experience!

- My wife and I took Bina’s cooking class during our honeymoon. Her and her husband Massimo were incredibly kind and hospitable. We learned how to make many different pastas, tiramisu, and some Italian appetizers as well. All the food was spectacular so make sure that you come hungry. They both speak fairly good English but at times needed to use google translate. However, this did not take away from the experience or fun at all. Highly recommend!
- We had a one-of-a-kind experience learning to cook with Bina. Learning how to make handmade pasta, tiramisu and focaccia. She made the experience so entertaining, and we were fully engaged the whole time. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a cooking class in the Tuscany region.
