This class was great!!!! Would definitely do it again.
The class was fun, informative and a highlight of our trip to Italy.
We loved our cooking class with Nonna Chiana. She doesn't speak hardly any English to Giulia was there to translate and both Giulia and Nonna Chiana were great! I learned a lot of things that I didn't know that I can take with me into other cooking as well! And the food we had was delightful. We got lucky with a fun group of Canadians and another American couple and had a blast! I want to do it again! <3
We had a wonderful experience, learned a lot and enjoyed a very delicious meal with wine at the end. I also appreciated how accommodating they were with my partner who was recovering from an illness. Overall a wonderful experience, highly recommended.
We just loved it! The staff was welcoming and inviting. Step by step instructions were given. The food was amazing. I'd do it again!!
First, recipes are ones you can cook at home. Two, simple, great directions. Three, such nice people. Four, beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience at Le Pietre Vive. Due to an inclement weather forecast, we made a last minute change and found this cooking class experience. We are so glad we did. Nona and her amazing team provided a 5 Star experience for our whole family. We learned a ton, almost all of the ingredients came directly from their estate, we prepared everything in their family kitchen, and it was delicious! They also have such a great story on why and how they got into the business, which made it even more special. If you are looking for a great group experience, with great people, food, information, and fun, I highly recommend booking a class with this fantastic group of people.
Our family of 7 (3 generations) had the best day learning how to cook. Being welcomed into their farmhouse and having a meal together was incredible. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this excursion- one of my favorite memories of the trip.
The italian cookingclass was gifted to me by my boyfriend for my birthday. I always wanted to learn how to make fresh pasta and Alberto and joya made the experience unforgetable. We will defenitly make the recipes again. If u are looking for an authentic experience u can stop looking and book your cookingclass here.
Beautiful setting. Lovely people. Good teaching (including teaching our kids!) and great food. Highly recommend!
Nona, the expert cook/pasta maker, was so interesting and knowledgeable. We learned a ton from her and the whole place had so much history and beauty! Plus the food we made was amazing!
Our Airbnb host recommended Le Pietre Vive for cooking lessons. Our lesson was with Francesca who was excellent. With the end of the season, it was just my wife and I, and she was excellent working with both our skill levels (my wife well beyond me), was personable and a great teacher. Excellent food and we have since made the dishes upon our return to the US. I would highly recommend this experience and if our meal was anything like what is offered in the restaurant then this would be a must-do. They make their own wine and honey, both of which were excellent. One of the best experiences of our two-week trip through Tuscany. Don't miss it!
So nice with our Italian chef and the English lady who translated, wonderful dishes and so nice to learn to make pasta, mashed potato which are so tasteful, and all the other dishes. and to work with special ingredients like truffles they found that morning and their own saffron honey made it extra special.
A wonderful experience. Chef, Heather, and Francesca made the experience enjoyable. I can’t wait to try the recipes at home.
We took a cooking class from Nona and it was absolutely fabulous. The atmosphere was impressive and the instructions were excellent. Being able to share this experience with others was truly exceptional. We strongly recommend this class
