“I studied in Firenze for a few months and came to your cooking school. It was fantastic food and a fantastic experience!”

“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed making pasta with your staff today. We are looking forward to future cooking happiness with your cookbook secrets.”

“We so enjoyed our lesson with you and talk fondly about it as the best part of our trip to Italy!”

“Just wanted to thank you and your chefs for our wonderful cooking class last week. ALL of my family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the class and your engaging chefs. It was a truly memorable…and super fun…experience. We so enjoyed our lesson with you and talk fondly about it as the best part of our trip to Italy!”

“I was just telling my friend how amazing it was to be there- it was such a great experience, and I so appreciate you. It was exactly what I was looking for, and exceeded my expectations. The cooking school put me in a much healthier mental space. You are very special people! Thank you again for everything, and I hope that we meet again.”

“I miss you guys. I have such amazing memories from the month in Florence in your moms class. She has the nicest class. I have made pasta many times and taught a few friends of mine. My husbands partner at work is an orthopedic surgeon and he asked me to teach him and I did. So its funny how people of all different professions love cooking. I think of her and the class a lot…I hope one day to come again and take another class. “

“Marcella Ansaldo. She’s been working in kitchens since being a kid, ran a successful restaurant for many years, taught at university and is now running an amazing cooking school in Florence together with her adult daughter Marta. She impresses me every day with her skills and knowledge about Italian cuisine.”

“Thank you for such a truly wonderful cooking experience!  We loved meeting you and the other students and the food was delicious and fun to cook! Marcella you are an excellent teacher with a real passion for food and a gift for bringing people together to have fun in the kitchen. It was a highlight of our trip!”

“I wanted to thank you both for such a wonderful experience. I had such a great time. Thank you, Marcella, for welcoming me into your kitchen. It was a pleasure meeting you and learning with you. The recipes were delicious, and I can’t wait to share them with my family. And thank you, Marta, for being so accommodating and helpful. You were always very comforting and warm. It was marvelous to spend this time with you both, so thank you for making this summer so special.”

“Marcella, We cannot thank you enough for this wonderful experience. You made us feel like family. We are still talking about it! We will attempt to recreate when we get home and send you pictures. We really enjoyed it and we enjoyed hearing about your background and culture. “
