What to expect
You'll arrive at Valeria's apartment in central Florence and be welcomed into her kitchen and dining space. The meal unfolds across four courses, each paired with wine that Andrea has chosen to enhance the flavours. Valeria cooks while you watch or chat; there's no formal presentation, just genuine hospitality. You'll eat at a table set for conversation, learning about the dishes' origins and Andrea's approach to pairing. The pace is unhurried—expect roughly two hours from arrival to finish.
Good to know
Tell Valeria about any food allergies or dietary requirements when you book. The exact address appears on your confirmation voucher. Public transport reaches the neighbourhood easily. Dress casually; this is a home, not a fine-dining venue.
