3.00The instructors were very nice but the class itself was not what was we were expecting. The gelato making was a demo with select people from the class so not something we actually did ourself. The pizza part was ok but for the pizza to be really tasty it has to proof longer. We are glad to have the recipes and the experience but not sure if there is a more authentic way to do it. They also served only very cheap tasting red wine.
If you like pizza like i do, this is the must do class for you.

5.00My 15 year old daughter and I attended the pizza and gelato making class during a Mother-Daughter Italy trip. We had such a great time learning about the history of pizza and how to make and shape the dough. The chef who led the class, Andrea, was knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. Such a fun way to spend the evening. I highly recommend!
Fun and yummy pizza and gelato cooking experience

5.00We had a wonderful time learning how to make the pizza and gelato. Our chefs were great at teaching the techniques and easy to understand. Our final product, our own personal pizzas were fantastic. I definitely recommend attending their class.
My child loved it and we...

5.00My child loved it and we made some great memories. We booked the 6:30pm one so we didn’t eat until 8:30, it was a very long experience for us, I would recommend doing the early one if you have littles with you who usually eat around 6. The pizza wasn’t the best I’ve ever had (I mean I made it so it could totally be my fault), but the experience was great.
