This was one of the best activities for our family of 5 on this trip! The chef was fun and great at leading us through the cooking process. All our pizza's turned out amazing and probably the best gelato we ever had! We would certainly recommend and do this again!

We had a great time at the gluten-free pizza making restaurant. The instructor was very informative and they ingredients were fresh and delicious.
Shelley_N, May 2026
We were initially confused about where to go, but once we arrived it was a phenomenal experience. Tovia (host) was entertaining, informative, and just fun to interact with. The pizza and gelato instructions were clear and easy to implement. My husband and I did the class on our last day in Italy, and it was a wonderful way to end our vacation. I'm looking forward to implementing Tovia's instructions for making authentic Italian gelato at home and making pizza for friends and family.

Our class had 1 other couple. We learned how to make pizza correctly as well as gelato. Fun stories, lots of laughter and good wine included.
Tonya_M, Apr 2026
This was such a fun experience! I can't wait to make my own pizza and gelato at home. I would definitely recommend this class if you visit Florence.
Jesus_R, Apr 2026
Pizza and Gelato class by local chef. Super fun, really entertaining and tasty. The chef guides you through the whole pizza making process from scratch with local quality ingredients. While we waites for the dough to rise we made some delicious chocolate gelato.
Steve_S, Apr 2026
We had so much fun here. Our chef was very friendly and personable, which made our experience very enjoyable. The ingredients must have been high quality as both the pizza and gelato were some of the best we’ve tasted in Florence.
Anessa_L, Apr 2026
This was such a fun experience! One of the best things we decided to do during our short stay in Florence. The chef and 2 families we were with were very kind and made the experience memorable.
Chris_K, Apr 2026
We had an excellent time making pizza and gelato. This is our second class and for me I wanted to better understand the making of the dough beyond YouTube videos and from an Italian expert.
Clayton_W, Apr 2026
Stephen was our culinary teacher. He was great. Included everyone in the presentation. We prepared the pizza in a class environment but got to sit in the restaurant and enjoy with the group - great time
Karen_P, Apr 2026

We had a wonderful time with our Chef and instructor, Leo. He was very knowledgeable about the process and a lot of fun to work with! The group we were working alongside was small, making the experience personal and fun!! If you are looking for a fun culinary class while you are visiting Italy, I highly recommend going to Cucineria La Mattonaia!
Michael_R, Mar 2026
It was fun! The host was entertaining and made it fun. Food was delicious and gelato out of this world! Wine delicious also. Highly recommend.
Stephane_L, Mar 2026
Excellent experience with Guy as the cooking Chef. I highly recommend it if you’re looking to learning to make pizza and gelato and have a good time with family and friends tasting your dish.
Douglas_S, Mar 2026
The pizza and gelato making class was the highlight of our vacation! It was so much fun to prepare our own pizza and to learn how it is done!
Bryan_F, Jan 2026
It was a great time for me and my wife. We throughly enjoyed the time with the chef and other guests.
Alexander_G, Jan 2026
We were a big fan of this cooking class! The instructions were very clear and the food we prepared was delicious, so we’ll now feel confident trying this at home ourselves!
Our teacher was super kind and patient; and we had some interesting history and a lot of good laughs during the class. The wine they served accompagnied the food perfectly!
When flattening the dough we were given the option between both the flat Roman style crust and a thicker crust with flat pizza bottom, which was a very nice and inclusive detail (we went Roman style 😁).
We prepared chocolate gelato while waiting for the pizza dough to rise. A really interesting and not too complicated process and the perfect dessert to cap off the evening after enjoying our own pizza.
Highly recommend the class to anyone in the area interested in Italian cuisine!
Paul_A, Jan 2026
This was a really fun family experience. And Stefano was a big part of that. He was very personable and helpful with teaching us how to make pizza dough from scratch, then make the pizza. We also learned how to make gelato. Everything was excellent. We would come back again to take one of the other classes offered here like making pasta.
Felicity_C, Jan 2026
Great and fun experience. The chef was very good and made us all feel involved. We were a party of two with three others. Small more intimate group. Don’t really get to make the gelato but interesting to see the process. Definitely recommend.
April_M, Jan 2026
Disappointing. This was our second time going to this class. The first time we had a great time because the instructor taught us step by step the process. This new instructor did not teach us. He simply made the pizza, made the gilato.. it was robotic and not interactive. I wonder if it was a language barrier being the issue but the enthusiasm wasn’t there. My pizza got thrown to the back of the oven and was covered in wood ash from the oven and he didn’t offer to remake it.
Daniel_C, Jan 2026
This was absolutely fantastic! Such an incredible experience learning how to make such tasty pizza and gelato. Gui our host was fabulous and was so interactive and gave great tips and ideas. I highly recommend this class or any of their classes. Do it, you won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful experience with Gulia she was patient, fun, and extremely caring of each participant.
GuekEngJace_G, Dec 2025
Service was impeccable, owner is very kind and cooperative. The gelato maker is funny and sociable. The pizza we made was immaculate and they taught us different types of pizza crusts, and how to differentiate between good and not so good gelato at other stores. The gelato we made was also very smooth and sweet. Had a great and awesome time with the two chefs.
Jennifer_M, Dec 2025
Was an exceptional experience, the chef was personable, educational and explained everything we wanted to understand on pizza and gelato making and beyond Italy questions. So grateful for the experience! Grazie Millie!
