Firenze · newly opened · a family kitchen
Roll real Tuscan pasta beside a Florentine nonna — in our sun-lit kitchen off Piazza Santo Spirito, or live online with a kit shipped to your door.
No watching a chef perform. From minute one your hands are in the flour, shaping every piece yourself.
Every class ends at the table — your fresh pasta, a Tuscan sauce, and a glass of local wine.
Never more than eight at the board, so the nonna can actually lean over and fix your fold.
A working family kitchen in the Oltrarno — market trips, nonna’s recipes, no tourist conveyor belt.
In-person classes · Florence
Every class is hands-in-the-flour from the first minute — small groups, no demos to watch, and you eat the lunch you just rolled.
Signature €95 Three hours, four shapes, one long lunch. Roll pici, fold tortelli, then sit down to eat everything you made with a glass of Chianti.
Market + cook €145 Shop Sant’Ambrogio market at dawn with the chef, then turn the basket into ravioli, a ragù, and a seasonal dolce back in the kitchen.
Private from €680 Book the whole kitchen. Birthdays, proposals, reunions — we cook, you celebrate, the wine keeps coming.
A shape for every story
Drag, swipe, or use the arrows — tap any shape to hear where it comes from.
Born in the Tuscan countryside to cradle rich game ragùs of wild boar and hare. The width is the point: every strand carries a spoonful of sauce.
Mentioned in a 14th-century merchant’s letters from Tuscany, ravioli were a way to stretch precious cheese. Sealing them well is a craft — air is the enemy.
A poor man’s pasta of just flour and water, rolled by hand on wooden boards. No two are identical, and that irregularity is exactly why sauce clings to them.
The Mugello’s answer to a cold evening: potato, parmigiano and nutmeg sealed in pasta, dressed simply in butter and sage or a meat ragù.
Legend ties its golden ribbons to Renaissance hair; the truth is humbler. Rolled thin, folded, and cut by hand — the first shape every nonna teaches.
Our story
We’re two young Italians and lifelong friends who grew up working in Tuscan agriturismi — rolling pasta at dawn, cooking for guests at long farmhouse tables, and learning every shape by hand from the families we worked for.
Now we want to share what we grew up with. In June 2026 we opened a little kitchen in the Oltrarno and brought that farmhouse table to Florence — for anyone who wants to get their hands floury with us, in person or live online.
