Very fun experience. Enjoyed our chef Siri very much. The only suggestion I would have is to have all adults instead a group and families with young children in a separate group.
Amazing experience with my family in Florence

We had an amazing time with the Towns of Italy team. I joined the class with my wife, 7 year old daughter and senior parents and the class was suitable for all of us regardless of age. Our pizzas turned out delicious, and we also had wine while eating the pizza. I would have loved to have the opportunity to make the gelato as well, instead of watching others make it, but the gelato also turned out delicious! I would definitely recommend this class for anyone who wants to have an amazing italian experience. And we will try it at home for sure!
SO FUN!!

We had an amazing experience with Roberta and Sirio. The class was lots of fun and they gave a lot of great tips on making homemade pizza even better, as well as how to make great gelato at home. Looking forward to another class someday in the future!
