Highlights

This experience puts you inside the daily rhythm of Sant'Ambrogio, one of Florence's last neighborhoods where locals still shop, cook, and eat the way they always have. You'll start at Sant'Ambrogio Market with the chef of La Chicca, choosing the day's fish and seasonal produce yourself, then head back to cook a full multi-course meal from scratch, learning techniques and market instincts you won't find in a cookbook. It's a hands-on window into how Florentine cooks actually work, not a staged demo. Because the menu is never fixed, no two classes are the same. This is a great fit for curious cooks, food lovers who want more than a recipe, and small groups or couples looking for a memorable, personal way to spend a morning in Florence.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
