“We had a delightful experience in Clive’s cooking class with our family of four. It was a memorable day as we learned to make ravioli, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. Clive was incredibly patient with us, as we were complete beginners in cooking. He made the class engaging and enjoyable, especially for our 16 and 18-year-olds. We ended up making some fantastic food that we thoroughly enjoyed afterward. I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Florence.”
