Florence Culinary Arts School (FCAS)

Amazing experience, especially for someone that loves cooking, the food industry, and anything related to food. Furthermore, I can't describe how beautiful is Florence and how friendly are the Italian people. Being a chef has been my dream school since the ninth grade in 2016 through 2017. I started the culinary program in my school, and all I can think of is baking. Everyone looked so professional and helpful, and the excursions were absolutely magical. I loved the wide range of places students can do their internships. I would like to thank our Chef instructor, Prof. Francesco, for his patience and dedication. He really cares about his students. Just like any other place, there are things that need improvement, but there are always people working to solve any issue.

I took a Gelato Course at FCAS last summer for just 2 weeks but it was a lovely experience. The instructors helped me a lot in terms of understanding the process, how it's made, the type of equipment used, and what the difference is between gelato and regular ice cream. Absolutely worth it!

A great combination of culinary practice and activities. I enjoyed learning different methods of preparing food. Being in the kitchen with everyone from different backgrounds was amazing! The main teacher, Chef Francesco, was extremely patient and very helpful. I worked for around 4 months as an intern in a restaurant located in central Florence where I could gain a lot of hands-on experience that I can now use in my own restaurant here in the US.
