Florence, Italy's storied city at the heart of Tuscany, is where this hands-on pasta class takes place at Corte dei Pazzi. Located in the historic Borgo degli Albizi neighborhood, the workshop puts you inside a cozy Florentine restaurant on Borgo degli Albizi, 54R, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy, a short walk from the Duomo and the city's lively central streets. Over three hours you'll learn to make tiramisu from scratch, knead and roll fresh pasta dough, and shape ravioli and fettuccine while sipping Prosecco and, later, a glass of Tuscan wine. The session suits small groups—up to 15 people—led by an English-speaking host who walks through authentic regional recipes and techniques.

The rhythm of the class is practical and convivial. You start with tiramisu, move through dough mixing and kneading, and finish by filling ravioli and cutting fettuccine; then everyone sits to taste the fruits of their labor. This setup reflects Florence's culinary culture: food is craft, conversation, and community. Corte dei Pazzi's compact dining room and working kitchen make instruction intimate; workstations are close enough to learn from others but roomy enough to get your hands properly floured.

What makes this experience distinctive in Firenze is its emphasis on technique and social dining rather than theater. It's not a stage cooking show—it's a small restaurant environment where recipes are traditional, ingredients are local, and guests get real, repeatable skills to bring home. Children as young as four are welcome with a guardian, and the host will accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice. Check-in is in the Florence centre ten minutes before start; if you get lost you can call +39 377 341 8113.

Beyond the kitchen, the location offers quick access to Renaissance landmarks, neighborhood bakeries, and artisans' workshops—perfect for turning a class into an afternoon of wandering. Bring curiosity, comfortable clothes, and an appetite: you'll leave with recipes, a fuller understanding of Tuscan technique, and a convivial memory that reads as much like a local supper as a lesson. The hands-on approach, the use of Prosecco and regional wine, and the shared meal make this more than a cooking demo—it's a compact, authentic encounter with Florence's food culture.

Recipes taught are explicitly regional: you'll be handed clear, tested instructions for both pasta and tiramisu so the techniques travel home with you. The class includes lunch or dinner with wine and the social pace encourages questions and tasting as you go. Note the operator cannot offer practice on alternative recipes during the session, so if you have specific needs discuss substitutes in advance via [email protected]. The experience is ideal for travelers who want a compact culinary lesson—small group size keeps attention focused, and a 24-hour cancellation policy applies. Book early.
