There’s a moment in every class we teach when the room goes quiet. Someone has rolled and folded their sheet of dough, cut it into ribbons, and slid the flat of a knife underneath. They lift their arm, and the tagliatelle fall from the blade in loose strands. People gasp. Then they laugh, because they made that.

This is what a pasta making class in Florence’s Sant’Ambrogio neighborhood looks like from our side of the table. You knead your own dough, cut two long shapes, fold two filled ones, help cook three sauces, and then sit down to eat all of it with people you met a few hours earlier. Here is how the class unfolds, what each step asks of your hands, and what to know before you go.

Book the Class: The Art of Pasta, Nonna’s Recipes

This is the class described in this guide, run by Pasta Class Florence in Sant’Ambrogio. Michelin-trained chefs guide you through the dough, the shapes and the sauces, and the class ends with a full meal of three pasta dishes and Tuscan wine.
