Hands-On Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Florence at Cantinone | Cooking Class | Workshop

On a narrow lane in Florence’s historic center, Pasta Class in Florence @Cantinone invites travelers to roll up their sleeves and learn the rhythms of Italian cooking in a single, lively afternoon. Located at Via Santo Spirito, 6r, 50125 Firenze FI, Italy, this three-hour workshop mixes practical instruction, local wine and a communal meal inside a cozy Florentine restaurant steps from the heart of the city. The class follows a clear, hands-on itinerary: tiramisu first, then making pasta dough, shaping ravioli and cutting fettuccine, and finally sitting down with a glass of wine to enjoy what you’ve made. Hosts speak English and guide groups of up to 15, so the experience balances personal attention with the social energy of meeting fellow travelers. Highlights include a glass of Prosecco on arrival and recipes you can replicate at home—authentic formats for pasta and tiramisu rather than experimental variations. What makes this offering special is its urban setting and practical focus. Unlike an impersonal demonstration, here you get flour on your hands and instructor feedback while you press, fold and fill. The lesson folds into the neighborhood: Via Santo Spirito’s narrow streets and the nearby piazza give the evening a distinctly Florentine flavor, linking food to place. The class is family-friendly (children four and up must be accompanied) and accessible for cooks of all levels; no advanced skills are required. Practical details matter: arrive ten minutes early and check in inside the restaurant; if you get lost the team can be reached at +39 377 341 8113. Inform the organizers of dietary restrictions ahead of time—the class accommodates substitutes at the meal but does not offer alternative recipes during hands-on time. Cancellation policy allows changes up to 24 hours in advance. This workshop is a standout option for visitors who want a compact cultural immersion—a practical souvenir you can take home in the form of kitchen skills and a recipe memory. It’s ideal as a leisurely afternoon activity before exploring Florence’s museums and riverfront, or as a convivial evening that turns strangers into cooking partners. Expect laughter, a few sticky fingers and, at the end, a relaxed sit-down where the lesson turns into dinner. Pasta Class in Florence @Cantinone is not just a class; it’s a small apprenticeship in everyday Italian food, anchored in one of Florence’s most characterful streets. Participants leave with the authentic Italian recipes provided during the class and a clearer understanding of simple techniques - kneading, resting, rolling and filling - that transform a handful of ingredients into real pasta. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or as a couple, the social pace and practical focus make this an efficient, memory-rich way to connect with Florence’s food culture in just one afternoon today.
