Best KPortal Reviews
One of the most fun and informative cooking classes I have ever taken. Paola guides you through the entire process, and has great banter along the way. After getting your hands dirty and learning some real Italian cooking, you sit down with Simonetta and Paola to enjoy the dishes you made whilst having great conversation along the way. Would highly recommend and have been recommending to anyone in Tuscany looking for a great cooking experience!
One of the best experiences we have had as a couple ever. Not only did I learn how to make pasta and cook an amazing Italian 3 course meal, I made new friends along the way and met an amazing family of cooks. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Tuscany and Chianti region.
What a fabulous experience with Simonetta e Paola ! Great cooking class with loads of advices and experiences, delicious ingredients, divine wine and talks. I highly recommend this class suited for couples, families and even solo travelers. The sisters have lots of knowledge and experience with foods, the Chianti county and Italy as a whole. Definitely a must, worth a ride to the 700 years old house !
This cooking class was one of the highlights of my visit to Italy. I would happily travel back to Chianti just to take the class again.
My husband and I love cooking and we wanted to learn how to refine our pasta making skills, while also having an authentic experience in Tuscany. This class was just that.
Toscana Mia is a charming cooking school run by two sisters, Simonetta and Paola, tucked away in the beautiful, rolling hills of Chianti. Simonetta and Paola are incredible hosts and great teachers - their warmth, organization & preparedness starts from the moment you book your class and continues until your adventure is complete. From the moment we arrived at their gorgeous Tuscan home, we were greeted as if we were visiting old friends.
We are vegetarian, and Simonetta & Paola accommodate us graciously. We made spinach & ricotta raviolis, a 5 tomato pasta sauce, stuffed bell peppers, olive oil cake, and had the traditional Chianti Classico. This was easily one of the best, most delicious meals I had on the entire trip. I am still dreaming about the olive oil cake. This was the first cooking class I have attended where I really learned how to prepare the dishes, and my husband and I already re-created the pasta a week later.
The best part of this experience, however, was eating dinner at Simonetta and Paola’s dining table with the rest of the students. We laughed, chatted, and talked about all things Italian. It was so much fun. I cannot recommend this class more. It will be the highlight of your trip!
Amazing Experience! My husband and I took this class 2 weeks ago while on our first trip to Italy. It was the highlight of our vacation! Such a wonderful day spent with Paola and Simonetta cooking, laughing, having wonderful conversations and drinking Chianti! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know the other people who took the class with us. We learned how to make gnocchi, with 2 different sauces, roasted turkey breast and sausage, zucchini trifolati, and a delicious dessert of Panna Cotta. Would highly recommend this class for anyone traveling to the Tuscany region!
Our family had a wonderful time cooking with Paola and Simonetta at their beautiful family home in Tuscany. We really felt like part of the family. They got everyone involved in the process and made it fun and entertaining. The food was delicious and easy to prepare. It brought back memories of Sunday dinners with my grandparents. Thank you for a fun evening in Tuscany! ~Lady B
What a great experience for our family, the boys really enjoyed doing some traditional Italian cooking especially making fresh pasta. We did our class with another family, didn’t know they were going to be there but was great to have them and enjoy the meal together afterwards with the sisters and their family. Highly recommend for a unique experience and embracing the Tuscan lifestyle of food, wine and family.
Fun cooking class. Paola was very entertaining and gave us many cooking tips and kindly answered all our detailed cooking questions. Wonderfully lovely house, nice kitchen, lovely dining room. It was one of the beat experiences on our Italy trip.
