THE BEST THING WE DID IN ALL TUSCANY 

 

And we almost missed it! It was a grey, drizzly afternoon in Livorno and we were debating how to spend it when we stumbled upon Sarah's pasta making class. Best. Decision. Ever. From the moment we walked in, Sarah made us feel like old friends. Warm, funny, and endlessly patient - she has a true gift for making complete beginners feel like they've been rolling pasta dough their whole lives. My husband and I were laughing, flour-dusted, and completely absorbed from start to finish. Sarah's teaching style is the perfect blend of authentic Italian technique and genuine encouragement. By the end, we'd made fresh pasta with our own hands and honestly couldn't believe how incredible it tasted. If you're visiting Livorno and looking for something hands-on, memorable, and genuinely fun - do not skip this class. You'll be talking about it for years.

A MUST DO ACTIVITY IN LIVORNO!!

 

​My boyfriend and I did this class and had the best time! We made all the pasta from scratch and it was AMAZING!! Sarah, the host, was so kind and helpful. The environment was warm and accommodating. As a picky eater, they were able to accommodate my special requests and gave us multiple glasses of wine to enjoy! Would 100% recommend if you are in the area and love cooking!

We had an absolute blast at Sarah's pasta class! She is fun, energetic and totally accommodating. I had never made my own pasta before and it turned out really good with her instructions. We were a part of a large class but she still made time for each and everyone of us personally for a little extra help. There was much laughter and joy throughout! There were people in the class of ages too so it's a good time for couples, individuals or families. Oh, and the wine she provided was also very good, prosecco to start and both white and red while we were eating our pasta. I can't recommend her class highly enough in a few words but I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
