    We were a little intimidated at the prospect of making pasta from scratch, but we breezed right through it!

    La Scuola di Cucina Lorenzo Medici has to be one of the top flight schools of Italian cooking…read more Everything about it is so totally impressive form its huge open modern design to its formally attired chef and master chef instructors attired in their dress whites with 52 pleated chef hats. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to attend any of the classes, though I wish I would have. However, I did carefully observe just about everything of their operations and the instructors left no detail to chance or uncovered. For example I noticed one student incorrectly cracking an egg against a knife edge and immediately saw two chef instructors showing him and instructing him on how to properly do it against a flat surface and they didn't leave him until he got it right. Also the instructors are constantly observing, tasting, having the students taste and advising throughout the entire process of students cooking. The instructions and classes are done in a totally "hands on" process of instruction. Furthermore you'll find that most of the students aren't comprised of armatures or wannabe cooks, but those who are already professionals and are there to improve and further hone their culinary talents. I've fortunately had the opportunity to observe many schools of cooking and culinary instruction including those of the Culinary Institute of America and have to say that those of the La Scuola di Cucina Lorenzo Medici were amongst the most impressive.

    We went here with EF Go Ahead tours. We were so excited to make, eat and enjoy the start to finish…read moreproduct of Tiramisu, Pici pasta with a tomato sauce and bruschetta as a starter. We get here and they start the tiramisu right away. And ask for 2 (out of 16) volunteers. Then we watched these 2 make the tiramisu and the staff finish. Then the Pici pasta. They they asked for 4 volunteers to make the Dough. Then they called on everyone to help knead and roll out the dough. The thought that you and your partner / spouse Are actually going to eat the food that the 2 of you prepared is not accurate. The food was good, the chefs were awesome. But the description of what to expect was way off.

    Upon meeting our chef Thomaso at our hotel, my wife and I, knew we were in for a real treat. Our…read morevisit to the Central Market was not only educational, but, fun and exciting. We selected florentine tomatoes and porcini mushrooms for our necessary ingredients. Upon arrival at the Cordon Blu cooking school, we were greeted by Gabriella the founder and owner. We shared a cup of coffee and proceeded to begin our class with Thomaso. Our menu included tiramisu, bruschetta with porcini mushrooms and of course, the making of fresh spaghetti and tomato sauce. The preparation was fun and with Thomaso's guidance, educational. We totally enjoyed our delicious meal and gained incredible satisfaction knowing we created it ourselves. We strongly recommend taking a cooking class from the Cordon Blu to enhance your Florence vacation, and allow you to bring home some knowledge to make some Italian meals back home....and by the way "you're welcome!"

This was my first trip to Italy, we enjoyed a comfortable ride throughout the countryside in the clean, air conditioned van! Roberto was so knowledgeable and made sure we knew all the best places to visit along with the history of the beautiful Tuscan countryside! He even gave us recommendations for our second leg of the trip to Rome. We will definitely use this service again!!

Bottled water was provided and he even stopped to get Fresh pizza for us. By the time we finished touring with Roberto for two days we felt that we knew so much about the area, history and culture of the region. Roberto's knowledge or art, history, food and culture was so impressive. The tour we did with Roberto was much more than him driving us from place to place. Each place we went was so carefully planned and curated. We visited wineries, vineyards and a sheep farm that makes cheese. With his help, we were able to visit every place we wanted to see as well as some smaller unknown, hidden gems. We saw so many beautiful landscapes and Roberto stopped frequently for us to take in the views! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Roberto. We hope to go back soon to tour Umbria and Florence with Roberto.
