Private Lasagna Cooking Class in Florence with Food Market Tour

If you’re looking for Florence at its most authentic, it begins in the vibrant food market and comes to life in your private kitchen. Join your dedicated chef for a hands-on journey from the colorful stalls of a historic food market in Florence to a joyful toast around your own table.

 Roll up your sleeves, taste as you go, and immerse yourself in the heart of Italian cooking, where recipes tell stories, meals turn into celebrations, and traditions that made Italian cuisine one of the most celebrated in the world — and also recently recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Experience the Market Like a Nonna — In Private

Step into a kitchen inspired by Nonna Wilma, where every dish is made with love, care, and family tradition. Begin your journey at Florence’s historic Central Market with your dedicated chef, discovering the ritual of the Italian “spesa” at your own pace. Speak directly with the butcher, ask the greengrocer for advice, and learn how to select the freshest seasonal ingredients. As you explore the stalls, enjoy tastings of local specialties — from cheeses and cured products to regional olive oils and truffle-based delicacies — in an intimate and exclusive atmosphere.

Cook Italian Specialties: Tradition on the Table

Back at the cooking school, the kitchen becomes your private space of connection. Guided step by step by your professional chef, you’ll enjoy a fully personalized, 100% hands-on experience. Prepare handmade fresh pasta, pair it with seasonal sauces, and master beloved classics like traditional lasagna and tiramisù. Just like in an Italian family home, you’ll cook side by side, learning the secrets passed down through generations while transforming simple ingredients into meaningful moments of culture, tradition, and shared joy.

Your Private Italian Table: Wine, Memories & Tradition

Sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared with a selection of local Chianti wine, sharing flavors and stories in the warm, welcoming spirit of your own Italian family table. After your experience, you’ll receive a digital recipe booklet and a graduation certificate to remember your journey. If your class takes place on a Sunday or public holiday, enjoy an enriched private experience at the cooking school with additional tastings.
