From start to finish, every aspect of our experience was excellent. Marta responded promptly and thoroughly to my emails (in English!) The restaurant is easy to find and parking is free and right on site. The location is just outside of Montalcino proper, but still within walking distance if you're staying in the city. Our session started with espresso on the terrace, from which we could see parts of the city and of course, out over the countryside. Next was Alessandro's tour of the garden. It's evident that food cultivation and preparation aren't just a job for him, but a passion. After the tour, we moved into the kitchen to learn how to make pasta, eggplant (aubergine) parmesan, and tiramisu, all from scratch. Alessandro walked us through each step, explaining what he was doing while showing us, then let us try each step on our own. After all the prep was complete, we returned to the dining room to enjoy a bottle of the restaurant's own wine while the food cooked. We can honestly say this was some of the best food we ate while in Tuscany. The fact that we literally had a hand in the preparation made it even better! The family lovingly remodeled every inch of this building. Alessandro and Marta's mother is an artist and her work is displayed proudly on the walls. In addition to the wonderful paintings, the entire interior just feels comfortable, like everything was thought through; everything has a purpose. We loved everything about this restaurant, the cooking class, and the family running it.

Alessandro and family have done an amazing job with creating an all around great experience learning to cook Italian from scratch. Add in the amazing views & character of their property it was exactly what we were hoping it would be and better!

Cooking class was one of the most enjoyable culinary experiences ever. Everything was hands on, with wine to complement the experience, followed by our group of 6 enjoying the feast we had just prepared. In addition, the location was great, run by a terrific family.

This place has lovely outdoor dining terrace overlooking the hills and is unrivalled when it comes to fresh ingredients, many of them coming from the garden right outside. The food has a light feel to it and the desserts are sublime; good wine by the glass (including Demetra’s own).

We had an unforgettable meal and experience at Locanda Demetra. The food was the best we’ve had in Italy. The scenery was indescribable and the service was amazing. The owner and his sister were friendly, informative and so welcoming. We could not recommend this restaurant enough!
