Traveler Tips

She tailors her class to dietary restrictions and what products are in season at the time, which means every class is unique and well planned for that particular day.
I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to make pasta.
In fact will probably try the pumpkin ravioli for an upcoming dinner party.

Fun class, great food
Karen_F, Mar 2023
My husband and I enjoyed this class a lot. The class was relatively small (about 5 couples in total). Our chefs - Irena and Vary - were very friendly. Irena was lead chef in this particular class, and she did a great job. We made 3 different kinds of pasta with different sauces, using basic but fresh ingredients - all were very tasty. We are motivated to make these at home!
Great experience

Amazing Class
Caitlin_D, Mar 2023
This was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Florence! The couple that runs the class is clearly passionate about their work and we truly enjoyed learning from them. The food and wine were amazing and the company was great as well. I definitely recommend this class!

Bucket List
Victor_R, Feb 2023
What a wonder experience. The class was small. The food was delicious. Our chef was warm, embracing & a great teacher. If learning to make pasta in Florence, Italy isn’t on your bucket list, then get a new bucket. Highly recommended. It’ll change your life.
Fun and tasty
Sloane_H, Jan 2023
This was a great experience. We had a slight mixup with the scheduling so make sure you message to confirm the day before you go. Chef Vary was a great time. She knows how to make terrific dishes that cater to different tastes and how to run a fun and engaging class. The class is held in the back of a wine tasting bar so if you have time after make sure to stay and taste some of the terrific wines they have on tap.
Fun and delightful cooking class!
Lori_H, Dec 2022
Absolute highlight of our visit to Florence! Chef Vary was a delightful host and instructor! Hands on instruction and custom ingredients for the participants made this cooking class enjoyable and healthy! Plenty of food and wine and great conversations with everyone in private room back behind a lively wine bar. We received timely replies from the Chef to our questions via Viator. Highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again.
So fun and informative....
Patti_T, Dec 2022
So fun and informative. Great way to meet and learn local culture and make three new pasta dishes. Can’t wait for the recipes!
Great date night!
Kyle_K, Dec 2022
We had a wonderful time making delicious pasta dishes! Our host was extremely friendly and hospitable and extreme knowledgeable about the food we were cooking. Highly recommend! Some of the best food on our whole trip!
The best activity to do in Venice!
Patricia_G, Dec 2022
My family and I had a wonderful time learning how to make three different types of pasta from scratch. Everything was so delicious. Chef Vary and her colleagues were so warm and welcoming. It truly was a memorable activity that made visiting Venice even more special!
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thank you so much for your review but we're in Florence not Venice. I want to clarify it so as not to create confusion for those wishing to make a reservation. We are in Florence THANKS again
Fun experience and delicious food
Suzanne_N, Nov 2022
Chef Vary’s class was a highlight of our trip. We prepared three delicious pasta dishes. Chef Vary took into account the tastes of all the guests in setting the menu and made the preparation easy and fun. I would highly recommend this class.
A fun, lively class
Lynn_L, Oct 2022
We had a great time at Chef Vary's pasta making class! It was a small lunch class, just three couples, so we had a great chance to talk to her and hear about life and especially food in Florence and Tuscany. We made three kinds of pasta and had a lovely lunch (with wine, of course!) afterward. I only hope we can remember enough of what we learned to recreate some of these dishes at home! Chef Vary will email you the recipes after the class, but it was quite a bit to take in, especially with Vacation Brain. (Our fault, not hers!) We enjoyed this experience a lot and will return when we are back in Florence.
Engaging & Entertaining Pasta course
Rose_P, Oct 2022
Chef was engaging and entertaining. Learned a lot and had a lot of laughs! Pasta was fantastic! A must do!
Highly Recommend
ycrb2rspfj, Oct 2022
Definitely recommend! Chef Vary was very fun and informative. The recipes we made were simplistic in terms of ingredients (a good thing!) and delicious. Our group was maybe about 9ppl so it was nice and intimate. At the end of the class we all sat down for a meal and enjoyed a great selection of some local wines.
Fun
Gwen_R, Oct 2022
Quaint kitchen area, informative cooking information, never used pasta tools before made it seem so simple and easy. Best part of course was eating and drinking wine afterwards
Superb experience!!!
Nathan_S, Sep 2022
Booked for a bit of fun but it was so much more! Such a wonderful experience and great fun making pasta with chef Vary in her beautiful shop. Hands down one of the best meals we ate in all of Italy. Highly recommended this tour even if you know how to make pasta, it was a fun night with great company and amazing food!!!
