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!

Wonderful fun event! Something different than the typical sightseeing excursions!
Chef Leonardo did an excellent job with us rookies to teach us how to make thin crust pizza and chocolate gelato! We enjoyed the pizza and gelato for our lunch! We all loved it!
Such a great experience! The pizza was wonderful, the gelato was so tasty, and the instructor was entertaining! 10/10!
The experience was one of the highlights of our trip! Learned a lot, had fun, our sons loved it. Go for it, you wont be disappointed.
Tommaso is a charming chef and instructor. He explained everything well with great enthusiasm. The pizza was delicious! Learning how to make gelato was a real treat. I took this class with my daughter and we both really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this class. It’s a great event for family or friends.
Tommas was a great instructor! It was so much fun! We would definitely recommend this class. Thank you.
We had so much fun in this class! The instructors were great. We have tried so many times to make pizza dough at home…and we usually fail. They made it really easy!
Amazing! The air conditioning was the best in Italy. Chef was so patient and helpful. We all loved it so much and the tops of the list of things we did during the stay. The best pizza we had as well. I highly recommend
Great experience! Entertaining for bothe the adults and the kiddo in the group. Would absolutely do another class if we had time
Stefano was a great instructor who waited on us even though we were running slightly late (luckily it was just our group!) Very kind and fun to talk to.
Very hands-on pizza making with good direction & patience from Tommaso. Good explanation of Italian style toppings vs US style.
Gelato making was mostly demonstration as it's difficult to each make a personal batch.
Both recipes will be emailed to perhaps try them at home.
This was a fun experience to do as a family and the staff were very attentive and informative. The gelato was delicious!
It is billed as 3+ hours and it was only 2. Otherwise it was excellent. The pizza making was fun and delicious and the gelato was great.
Great way for us to end our trip. Our instructor was nice funny and helpful. Our 9 year especially liked that he was able to do his own.
This was a highlight for our trip. We had a blast making our own pizza and visiting with each other and our chef. Good for all ages. Lots of wine and soft drinks. Beautiful restaurant with a/c. Tons of leftovers. Thank you for such a wonderful time.
Wonderful experience! So enjoyable from kneading the dough to learning how gelato is made. The unlimited wine was really good as well. Then we got to enjoy our delicious pizza and gelato at the end. Highly recommend
This experience is must do when you visit Italy. My partner and I make pizza at home all the time, but we learned soooo many helpful techniques that will elevate our pizza making that we never would have known otherwise. The class size was also not too many people so we each got private attention from the chef to check our technique and dough. It’s also an awesome way to meet other people as we all ate together after the class. The gelato was also delicious! This was the highlight of our whole trip!
Great experience with my family! Loved that they're were so flexible given the delay we had getting there from the train station😊.
Tom (I think his real name is Tomazzo) was such a good teacher!! Made it fun and informative - learned a lot! And the pizzas we made were fantastic!😋
We are a family of 6. Everyone from parents to kids had THE BEST night! It was fun, organized and delicious. The restaurant where it was held was authentic looking and air conditioned. Small group size was great. The included drinks were also a nice touch. Our cook Leonardo was funny and engaging. Definitely a hit with our family!
Fun, small class size, clean. The instructor was so nice and accommodating. He was fun and our food was amazing. Loved all of it.
10/10. Wine was amazing and truly unlimited, and the pizza was fantastic. It was so much fun and the people we were grouped were with so friendly. It is a more intimate group (6 people including me and the person I was with) which some people may not like but personally I found it to be very enjoyable as everyone was great. Our instructor was friendly and helpful with a great sense of humor.
Tom took us on an informative journey of expertise and fun. From a non starter in the kitchen we created the most delicious pizza and chocolate gelato with a companionable group of participants from all over the world. A magical three hours.
It’s great ! Highly recommend - it was so fun and gui was a great teacher and host. We learned a lot and our food turned out delicious
So fun, and our chef, Tom, was amazing!
I would definitely recommend to anyone.
Pizza was gelato was delicious
Easy, fun, and delicious class. The pizza was the best I’ve had so far, and I loved even more that it was customized. Each person got to make their own with the toppings they chose.
The class was fun, informative and our instructing Chef, Gui, was awesome!! There was unlimited great wine. The class had about 12 people and together it was a perfect experience.
What a fun way to spend an afternoon! We were guided with how to make pizza from scratch, and even got the recipes in the end! We were also shown how to make gelato. I’ve done quite a few of these experiences - I do wish the leader was more interactive with the audience. Other than that, perfect experience!
Leonardo did a great job teaching the class. Our group consisted of 3 families, all with children. Everyone enjoyed it. The 2 hours flew by and we all left with cute certificates.
Great instructors made the class fun and provided assistance when needed. Definitely would do this again!
Amazing, chef Fabio was delightful! We learned a lot and the pizza and gelato turned out great. The wine was also very tasty!
The meeting pickup instructions were wrong. We had to walk an additional Km from where we were advised to meet which meant we were late for the commencement of the class and we were very disappointed to start the experience
