Amazing!!

5.00Our instructor was super helpful and knowledgeable about all things gelato and pizza related. He took time to explain the different types of flour used for the pizza, what types of ingredients that go into different gelatos and so on. He also focused a lot of showing us how to get a feel for how recipes might slightly change based on where we are in the world or what ingredients we use so that we can succeed when attempting to make them again at home. He was also super great with kids making sure the one child that was in our class was included and helping her out occasionally so her parents could focus on the pizza they were making. Beyond that he also helped the adults by checking in periodically to make sure things were going ok. There was also a second worker who kept things extremely tidy in between each step. Would absolutely recommend for anyone who just wants to make their own pizza for just the single experience- or if someone wants to learn where to start off so they can make their own back home.
Towns of Italy is a winner!!

5.00Such an educational, fun and yummy experience. We had a great time with our lead chef, and also met a lovely couple from the US. Finally learned how to create a traditional Italian Pizza Dough and how to make incredible gelato as well.
A fun and delicious learning experience
