Florence Pasta Class Menus Compared: What You Actually Cook in Each Class

Every Florence pasta class is run by a different local cooking school, so the menu changes from booking to booking. We read each listing line by line and put the pasta shapes, sauces, dessert and drinks side by side, so you know what you’ll cook before you pay.

What each class really teaches, and what the listing leaves out

Here’s each class in more detail: the menu, the details that change it, and one thing to confirm with the operator. The notes cover only what the listings say.

01 Most variety

Florence with Elvis: three pastas, three sauces

  • Up to 3 pastas
  • 2–2.5 h
  • Unlimited wine

The listing promises three fresh pastas “such as ravioli, tortelli and pappardelle”, served with butter and sage, arrabbiata and an old-style Tuscan ragù. The words “such as” matter: some reviewers say they made ravioli and fettuccine, so the exact shapes can change. The class runs in several venues, including Cucciolo, De Bardi and a medieval tower near the Duomo. Negroni, truffle cheese-wheel and tiramisù versions are also available.

Confirm before booking Tiramisu is only in the Flambé Cheese Wheel Truffle option. The standard class is pasta only.
02 Menu fully named

Cucina con Nuti: reginette and mezzelune by the river

  • 2 pastas
  • 2.5 h
  • Spritz + wine

This is the most precise menu of the six. You roll reginette, long ribbons with frilly edges, and serve them with Tuscan ragù. You also fill mezzelune, half-moon pasta stuffed with ricotta and spinach, and dress them with butter and sage. Everything is shaped by hand, the room looks out over the Ponte Vecchio, and the recipes are emailed to you afterwards.

Diet note Vegan, vegetarian and lactose-free versions are available on request. The listing says the class is not suitable for gluten intolerance.
03 Menu fully named

Rossocrudo: ravioli, pappardelle and tiramisu

  • 2 pastas + dessert
  • 2.5 h
  • Unlimited wine

The listing names every dish. You knead, roll and shape ravioli (filled) and pappardelle (wide Tuscan ribbons), then make tiramisu from scratch. It runs in a restaurant with morning, afternoon, evening and night slots, and you take the recipes home. Classes are taught in English and Italian.

Confirm before booking The sauces aren’t named, and the meeting point changes with season and time slot. Check both on your confirmation.
04 Shapes vary

Cooking Italy: two pastas and tiramisu, shapes vary by kitchen

  • 2 pastas + dessert
  • 3 h
  • Limoncello or coffee

You make fresh pasta from scratch and an authentic tiramisu, then eat it all with wine and finish with limoncello or an Italian coffee. The listing doesn’t name the shapes. Reviewers describe “two types of pasta with different sauces”. The class runs in up to seven kitchens, including near the Duomo, Santo Spirito and the Oltrarno, so the menu can depend on the one you book.

Confirm before booking If one shape matters to you, such as ravioli, message the operator through GetYourGuide before you pay.
05 Countryside day

Walkabout Tours: farm pasta with sausage ragù and gelato

  • Pasta or pizza
  • 5–7 h
  • Transfer included

At the booking stage you choose pasta or pizza. On the pasta route you shape two classic fresh pastas (the listing doesn’t name them) and make two Tuscan sauces from scratch: ragù alla salsiccia (sausage ragù) and burro e salvia (butter and sage). Everyone also mixes their own gelato, and there’s a liquid-nitrogen demo. The group meets at Santa Maria Novella station and rides to a private estate.

Diet note Vegetarian options are available, but the listing says it can’t cater for food allergies or gluten-free diets.
06 No pasta

Towns of Italy: pizza class for groups that don’t want pasta

  • Pizza
  • 3 h
  • Unlimited gelato

This class has no pasta on the menu. You make pizza dough and tomato sauce from scratch and add your own toppings. The gelato part is a live demonstration, not hands-on, followed by unlimited gelato. It includes a recipe booklet and a “graduation” certificate. A family option adds hotel pick-up and drop-off.

Why it’s here It’s a good fit for mixed groups where someone wants to cook something other than pasta.

The pasta shapes and sauces you’ll see on Florence class menus

These are the dishes the classes above name. Knowing them helps you read a listing quickly and see what kind of skill each class teaches.

Ribbon · Tuscan classic

Pappardelle

Wide, flat egg-pasta ribbons, usually 2–3 cm across. In Tuscany they’re served with rich meat ragù. Taught by Rossocrudo and listed as an example by Florence with Elvis.

Filled

Ravioli

Square or round pockets of fresh pasta with a filling, often ricotta. They teach sealing and portioning, which is the most useful filled-pasta skill to take home. Taught by Rossocrudo and listed by Elvis.

Filled · Tuscan

Tortelli

A filled pasta that Tuscans love. The best-known local version is tortelli di patate (potato filling) from the Mugello valley north of Florence. Listed as an example by Florence with Elvis.

Filled · half-moon

Mezzelune

“Half-moons”: a round of pasta folded over its filling. At Cucina con Nuti the filling is ricotta and spinach and the sauce is butter and sage.

Ribbon · frilled edges

Reginette

Long ribbons with wavy edges that hold onto a meaty sauce. Cucina con Nuti serves them with Tuscan ragù.

Sauces you’ll meet

Ragù · burro e salvia · arrabbiata

Tuscan ragù is a slow meat sauce, sometimes made with sausage (ragù alla salsiccia). Burro e salvia is butter and sage, the classic dressing for filled pasta. Arrabbiata is tomato with chilli.

Before you pay

Three steps to find out your exact menu

01 Read the operator name

On GetYourGuide it appears as “Activity provider”. Look it up rather than trusting the title, since titles are often shared.

02 Check the “such as” wording

“Such as ravioli” means ravioli is possible, not promised. “You’ll make ravioli and pappardelle” is a fixed menu.

03 Pick the option, then message

Many classes have several venues or options. Choose yours, then ask the provider about any shape or diet that matters to you.

Match the menu to you

Which class to book for the pasta you want to learn

Start with the skill you want to take home, then choose the class that promises it in writing.

Filled pasta

Want to learn ravioli-style filled pasta?

Rossocrudo (ravioli) and Cucina con Nuti (mezzelune) both name a filled shape in writing. Florence with Elvis also lists ravioli and tortelli, but as examples.

  • Guaranteed in the listing: Rossocrudo, Cucina con Nuti
  • Likely but not fixed: Florence with Elvis
  • Not named: Cooking Italy, Walkabout
Most practice

Want as many shapes as possible?

Florence with Elvis is the only class here that promises three fresh pastas and three sauces in about two hours. The others teach two shapes.

  • 3 pastas + 3 sauces: Florence with Elvis
  • 2 pastas + dessert: Rossocrudo, Cooking Italy
  • 2 pastas + 2 named sauces: Cucina con Nuti, Walkabout
Full dinner

Want pasta and a dessert you make yourself?

Rossocrudo and Cooking Italy include making tiramisu. With Elvis, tiramisu comes only with the Flambé option. On the farm day, you make gelato.

  • Tiramisu made in class: Rossocrudo, Cooking Italy
  • Gelato made in class: Walkabout (farm)
  • Gelato watched, then eaten: Towns of Italy (pizza)
Setting

Want a view or the countryside?

Cucina con Nuti cooks within sight of the Ponte Vecchio. Walkabout drives you out to a Tuscan estate, but plan on most of the day.

  • River view, 2.5 h: Cucina con Nuti
  • Farm estate, 5–7 h: Walkabout Tours
  • Historic centre kitchens: Elvis, Rossocrudo, Cooking Italy

Before you book

Six details that change your class more than the title does

These all come from the listings themselves. They’re the details that most often surprise people on the day.

Menu table → Compare classes →
Gluten-free is rarely possible.

Cucina con Nuti and Towns of Italy say they’re not suitable for gluten intolerance. Walkabout says it can’t cater for gluten-free diets or food allergies.

Vegetarian is usually fine.

Elvis, Cooking Italy, Walkabout and Towns of Italy all list vegetarian options. Cucina con Nuti offers vegan and lactose-free on request. Tell the operator when you book.

The option changes the menu.

With Elvis, tiramisu, truffle and Negroni come only with specific options. Cooking Italy runs in up to seven kitchens. Read the option name, not just the class title.

The meeting point may not be the kitchen.

Walkabout meets at Santa Maria Novella station. Rossocrudo’s location changes with season and time slot. Check your confirmation email.

“Unlimited wine” isn’t every class.

Elvis, Rossocrudo and Cooking Italy advertise unlimited wine. Cucina con Nuti includes a spritz and wine. Walkabout serves wine and beer with the meal.

Free cancellation is 24 hours.

All six listings offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start, so you can hold a spot while you confirm the menu.

FAQ

Last checked: September 2026

Do all Florence pasta classes on GetYourGuide teach the same pasta?

No. GetYourGuide lists classes from many independent cooking schools and restaurants, and each one sets its own menu. In this comparison the menus range from reginette and mezzelune (Cucina con Nuti) to ravioli and pappardelle (Rossocrudo) to three changing shapes (Florence with Elvis).

Which class tells you exactly what pasta you’ll make?

Cucina con Nuti (reginette and ricotta-spinach mezzelune) and Rossocrudo (ravioli and pappardelle) name their shapes in the listing. Florence with Elvis gives examples (“such as”). Cooking Italy and Walkabout Tours say how many pastas you’ll make but not which ones.

Will I make pici or gnocchi?

None of the six classes compared here lists pici or gnocchi. If you want a particular regional shape, look for a listing that names it, or message the operator before you book.

Do I eat what I cook?

Yes. In every class on this page you sit down and eat your own pasta (or pizza) at the end, with the drinks the listing includes. Most classes take the place of a lunch or dinner.

Can I choose the pasta shape?

Usually not. The chef teaches a set menu for the session. What you can choose is the class and option, and that’s why comparing menus before booking is worth it.

Quick pick

Know what you want to cook? Book the class that promises it in writing.

For filled pasta, a fixed menu and dessert, choose Rossocrudo. For the clearest menu and a river view, choose Cucina con Nuti. For the most shapes and sauces, choose Florence with Elvis. For a slow countryside day with gelato, choose Walkabout’s farm class.
