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!

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.

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.
Got gelato then made 3 pastas had free time to be chill then got certificates.

5.00It was a fun class and we met some great people that were travelling from the US as well. We learned how to make pizza and gelato. They served us red wine, we ate our own homemade pizzas, and the chef's chocolate gelato. We each received a certificate of completion and a photo at the end. They even offered to call us taxi's. It was a fun class and the food tasted great! 5 stars to the chefs. We took a taxi home around 9:30 PM and I was surprised that the streets were so busy with people. This place comes to life at night. The first real day in Italy was way fun!
