5.00We had the best cooking experience in Florence, Italy! We took the Pizza and Gelato Making Class with Towns of Italy Experience Makers, and our chef, Alice, made the entire experience smooth, fun, and easy to follow. She explained everything so well that we feel confident we can recreate everything at home. The recipes use simple, easy to find ingredients that anyone can work with. This class was absolutely worth it not only did we learn how to make delicious pizza and gelato, but we also created memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence!
Alice was excellent as our guide chef
