Alicia and Federico were awesome! We were a family of 6 with two children under the age of 6. The class was engaging and informative and our pizzas and gelato came out great!
Excellent Experience and Eating too!

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The chef, Lisa, was encouraging and patient. Class age ranged from 5- 80 and we all learned something new. Everyone succeeded in making a wonderful 10" (or larger pizza.) then we enjoyed eating it. She also included two of the children in the gelato making demo. They were thrilled and the chocolate geato was amazing. They sent us home with recipes too. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Can't wait to try my hand at making my own pizza
Loved the class

This was a great experience for our family. My 11 year old son enjoyed it. You make your own pizza but make the gelato as a group. The pizza was so good. They do not give you any wine until the pizza is done, which was a let down.
Great fun experience!

Andrea was excellent and my son and I had a great time. The chef was very knowledgeable and gave a very fun and entertaining class. We got to make pizza, learn how to make gelato, drink some wine and share the moment with other families. We loved every minute of it!
