Wonderful!! Chef Frederico super attentive with my family, especially children! Gives all the possible tips on how to make the dish at your house. The pizza (in my case) was wonderful and I could still take home. Rolled polaroid photos, wine and tips about Florence. I loved it! ❤️

We had an amazing and truly enjoyable experience at the pizza and gelato cooking class! The session was fun, interactive, and perfectly organized. Chef Roberta was absolutely incredible — friendly, skilled, and made the whole experience even more special. And the pizza and gelato we made turned out delicious.

Tommaso and Jon were excellent teachers. Their outstanding interaction with the participants made the class even more enjoyable. They had a great sense of humor and had us laughing many times. The quality of the ingredients made our self-made pizzas the best we’ve ever had.

This was a fun experience that is good for just about anyone. The pizza was amazing (probably a little bias since I made it), the gelato was OK, and the experience well worth it. Definitely add it to your itinerary!
Great experience for adults and teenagers

Lovely chefs with high quality instruction. The food was delicious and they provided helpful food tips around town, as well as recipes. My only suggestion would be to put an age minimum on the class so they wouldn’t have to accommodate so many families with inappropriately small children.
Delicious pizza with a great teacher
