5.00We joined Florence Cooking Class – The Art of Making Gelato & Authentic Pizza as a family with three children, and it was truly a wonderful experience. Our instructor, Andria, was amazing — friendly, patient, and very good at explaining each step in an engaging and fun way, especially for kids. We learned how to make authentic Italian pizza from scratch, from kneading the dough to choosing fresh ingredients. We also discovered how traditional gelato is made, which was both interesting and delicious! Our children had so much fun, and they were very proud of the pizzas they created. It became one of the most memorable highlights of our trip. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and well organized. This is not just a cooking class, but a meaningful family experience where you learn, cook, laugh, and enjoy time together. We highly recommend this class to families, couples, or anyone looking for an authentic Italian cooking experience in Florence. Thank you Andria and the team for making this such a special day!

5.00Andrea’s pizza class was absolutely spectacular! It was my first time making pizza and my fiancé’s first time tasting true Italian pizza — and what an experience! The class was fun, engaging, and full of laughter, with just the right balance of learning and enjoying the moment. Andrea shared great tips and stories, making the whole process feel effortless and exciting. The pizzas came out deliziosissime and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and authentically Italian. Time flew by, and we left with full hearts, full stomachs, and big smiles. Highly, highly recommended. Grazie mille, Andrea! 🇮🇹🍕✨
