This class was fun and engaging. The cook was great at teaching us how to make gelato and ice cream.. The small group atmosphere gave us the opportunity to have a really hands-on experience. Bellissimo.!

A fun hands on experience for all ages to learn how to make sorbet and gelato. I couldn’t believe how delicious the sorbet tasted. Our instructor made sure we understood the ingredients & why they were used.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Jacinda, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are so happy to heare from you. We hope see you soon.

Fun experience making delicious gelato!

Our gelato making experience was SO MUCH FUN! Our teacher involved all of us in the process, even the kids. Everyone absolutely loved it and the gelato was so delicious! All of us said it was a major highlight of our vacation. I just made my first batch of gelato at home and can't wait to eat it!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

That sounds amazing! We are so glad to hear you had such a fun and memorable experience. We can't wait to welcome you back next time!

Fun for the whole family.

My children, ages 9 and 14, loved learning how gelato is made. They had fun whisking ingredients, putting the liquid into the gelato machine and tasting the end product.

Not to be missed in Florence.

JosueDavid_O, Mar 2026
Our favorites in Italy. The experiences with Fabrizio were fun and totally memorable. My Daughter loves making desserts, so it was an ideal class, not only do you try gelato, but you understand the process to prepare it. In addition, the attention was mainly in Spanish, even closer and more enjoyable, is an indispensable experience in Florence.
