The true Florentines don’t shop in the crowded markets or tourist-filled shops of the city center. They head to the hidden gem of Sant’Ambrogio Market, a local favorite you might have trouble discovering on your own. Let a local chef guide you through this vibrant, off-the-beaten-path market and taste local street food specialties, before heading to a cozy kitchen where you’ll prepare and taste a traditional 3-course Tuscan meal. Enjoy two wine tastings and finish in style with a tiramisù!

Embark on a journey through Florence’s authentic culinary heart with a local chef as your guide. Meet at Borgo la Croce and start your adventure with an energizing espresso before heading to the bustling Sant’Ambrogio Market, where Florentines still shop for fresh, local ingredients. Far from the tourist crowds, this vibrant market has been the city’s hub for authentic flavors since 1873. Follow your chef through colorful stalls to discover the freshest produce based on the season.

After taking this tour, I felt that I was finally able to put down the ramen and start cooking like grandmas out there. It was a fun and relaxing experience! Highly recommend it!

My husband and I took this class over the weekend and it was so much fun. We learned some excellent tips to making DELICIOUS, traditional Italian pasta sauces, and had an amazing tiramisu dessert. This is really great for both beginner and experienced home cooks.
