A Michelin-trained chef leads up to 13 travellers at Sfoglia Re, Piazza Ghiberti 4 R, for 3 hours. Apron to keep, recipe e-book, wine, soda and lunch or dinner. Reviews mention ravioli, pappardelle and fettuccine.
Inside a restaurant on Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti, a Michelin-trained chef from Pasta Class Florence spends three hours teaching a hands-on pasta workshop. You work through dough from scratch and shape pasta by hand, and pastas named by past participants include ravioli, pappardelle and fettuccine. Then you sit down and eat everything the group has made, with red and white wine poured throughout the session and soft drinks available.
The class caps at 13 travellers, which keeps the table social without feeling anonymous. Reviewers describe solo travellers, couples, and families with children from around 11 to 18, and several say the shared meal was a highlight of their trip. The chefs get consistent praise for patience with beginners and children alike, and for making the session fun rather than intimidating.
Aprons are provided and yours to keep, and an e-book of the recipes goes home with you, so the point is to cook these dishes again yourself. The class suits anyone who wants a break from museums and monuments, a meal they helped build, and practical technique rather than a demonstration.
A few practical things shape how this class goes, from the group size to what you leave with.
Common issues. Hotel pickup is not included and the venue is not wheelchair accessible, so anyone with mobility needs should weigh that before booking. One reviewer found the surrounding street slightly rough in appearance and advised not being put off by the storefront. The class is capped at 13 travellers, so it is a group setting rather than private instruction, and the chef leading it will vary. Cancellations inside 24 hours of the start time receive no refund, and changes made that late are not accepted.
The class meets at Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti, 4 R, 50122 Firenze. The R stands for the red numbering system used on Florentine addresses, and the listing spells this out: Piazza Ghiberti 4r means red numbers. The meeting point is inside the operator's restaurant, Sfoglia Re, and the experience ends back at the same spot.
There is no pickup included. Arrive a few minutes early so the group can get aprons on and start together, and if the exact start time or any directions are unclear, check the booking page for the details tied to your date.
The listing does not state seasonal closures, and as an indoor cooking class it does not depend on weather the way outdoor tours do. One reviewer mentions the air conditioning as a plus on a hot day, which suggests summer sessions are comfortable inside.
Departure times matter more than the time of year here. Lunch and dinner sessions are both offered according to the included list, so travellers can pick the slot that fits their day, and the class runs in the evening too, which one solo traveller described as a fun social way to spend a few hours.
This class lists from $109.50 per person. That fee covers a lot: aprons to keep, a recipe e-book, red and white wine, soda, and a full meal, since lunch or dinner is part of the session depending on the time you book.
Against private options in the city it sits at the accessible end. The same operator's private Michelin-trained class starts from EUR 900 per group of up to six, and 360's private class starts from EUR 150 per person. For travellers who want the chef's attention without that outlay, the group format is the budget route. Nothing else is listed as excluded, though transport to Piazza Ghiberti is not included, so allow for that.
The closest alternatives to this group class are the private options in the city, including Pasta Class Florence's own private Michelin-trained class and the 360 private experience.
Wondering whether a dedicated session would serve you better than this group format? The guide to private and chef-led pasta classes breaks down when the upgrade earns its cost, and it draws on this same operator's private offering. To weigh the money side, see what a private class in Florence costs, which puts the $109.50 from-price next to the EUR 900 group rate. Families split on the decision can start with group versus private pasta classes before booking, and anyone curious about formal training can read the culinary school versus cooking class explainer.
The class includes a souvenir apron you keep, an e-book with the recipes, red and white wine, soft drinks, and the meal of pasta the group prepares, with lunch and dinner both listed as included. Hotel pickup is not included.
At the restaurant Sfoglia Re, Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti, 4 R, in Florence. The R stands for the red street numbers. The activity begins and ends at this same point, and it is near public transportation.
The experience lasts three hours, covering the hands-on pasta making, the sauce instruction, and the shared meal at the end.
Yes. Reviewers have taken the class with children roughly 11 to 18 years old who enjoyed it, and several mention the chefs were patient with complete beginners and mixed-skill groups. The venue is not wheelchair accessible, which is the main limitation.
You can cancel for a full refund at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start time are not refunded or accepted, and the cut-off is based on local time in Florence.
The listing does not specify items to bring. Aprons are provided, and you leave with the apron and a recipe e-book, so there is little to carry for the class itself.
Both formats exist, since lunch and dinner appear on the included list. A dinner session suits travellers who have spent the day sightseeing and want to sit, cook and eat in the evening, which one solo reviewer described as a relaxed social occasion. Either way the meal you prepare is served at the end, so the choice is mainly about your schedule.
This class lists from $109.50 per person. That covers wine, soda, a full meal, an apron to keep and a recipe e-book, so there is little to pay beyond the ticket. Transport to Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti is not included, so allow for that separately.
