Dolce Vita Fresh Pasta by Day
Farmer’s Market Tour & Fresh Pasta Class Experience
We'll meet in Sant'Ambrogio, a district in the center of Florence, which will give you a taste for local lifestyle and culture. Not only is it a hub for Florentine life, but it is foodie central. I'll take you to the market and show you the most AMAZING, vibrant, seasonal produce, and introduce you to my friends at the market. They only let me get the freshest of zucchini, tomatoes, stone fruits, citrus, aromatic herbs, cheeses and salumis. Then I will show you the inside of the market with the local butchers, cheese and salumi guy. You'll get to try some local artisanal salumi & cheese before we move on to the bakery which makes biscotti you'll be dreaming about even after you return home, as well as the very best Tuscan bread you'll ever have.
After we will return to my typical Florentine apartment in Sant'Ambrogio to cook our lunch while hearing the local hustle and bustle of the neighborhood while we cook for the most authentic experience. I'll help you get a genuine taste that is off the beaten path and not the typical fresh pasta experience.
Once we are ready to cook we'll enjoy our fresh pasta with some of the best wine selected by me to showcase local Florentine wine I've experienced through my quotidian life here, and my wine studies.

It is impossible to think about Italy without thinking of delicious Italian food. Food is at the heart of Italian gatherings, and at these gatherings, we’re always talking about what we’ll eat at our next meal. I’ve always LOVED pasta so much that I decided to move to Italy and pursue a culinary career and learn from the experts on how to make fresh pasta. Now that I’m living the Dolce Vita, I want to share my love of fresh pasta with you so you can take your memorable vacation experience home and share it with your family and friends.
