Lorenzo was our favorite person in Italy! He was so kind and funny but also an amazing chef and teacher. Our group was an intimate group of 6. We were invited to his apartment where he had appetizers and wine for us. The pasta making lesson was so much fun and eating all of the food was even better! This felt like a family dinner and we became great friends with the rest of the people in the group. I would do this every time I visit Florence if I could. 100% recommend you do this!
