5.00My two teenagers and I booked this class about two hours before the start. We had soooo much fun laughing and creating together. Chef Jon was amazing at explaining and showing. Our pizza and gelato ended up being our dinner and the recipes provided through the app will be reminders of our time in Italy when we make them at home. Highly recommend doing this when you are in Florence!

4.00Overall we loved the experience. It was my 13 year old daughter’s favorite experience of Italy. Our host was half Italian/half asian and was a great host/ teacher. With that said you actually only make pizza or pasta depending on the experience. The gelato is made by picking random people and is shared among the group. For the price you can eat amazing Italian food else where so that was a disappointment. Also, it was learned later that eating pasta/pizza in Florence we like ordering sushi in a Mexican restaurant. Get Steak and other meats in Tuscany the food of the region. With that said I would recommend the tour.
