We had so much fun making our own pizza. Learning how to make the dough was really interesting. And the gelato was delicious. Fabrizzio also gave us info to help search out the best gelato on the street. Highly recommend this experience.

This was an excellent class for those at a beginner and moderate level of pizza making experience. For those who come in with a little background, Alfredo did a great job of going more into details describing yeast reactions, different ways to rise the dough, etc. It’s a great class to do with kids, but also really fun to have a class of all adults too! Alfredo keeps the class going with jokes and is excellent at keeping a good pace throughout the class too, with time to relax and enjoy and then time to get busy making the pizza and gelato.

Fabrizio was such a great teacher! The class was fun and interesting but not too difficult and all the food and wine was delicious. We all had so much fun!

What an amazing experience. Our pizza and gelato making class was so much fun. Lots of information about Italian culture and their love of food and ingredients. Our hosts Alfredo & Matteo were delightful. Highly recommend this activity.

I highly recommend this experience. The location is central and easy to find, the photos provided by the operator were helpful. Fabrizio and Mateo were both very nice and accommodating, taking time to get to know a little about each participant. Premium and fresh ingredients were provided to make the pizza and gelato. We created tasty pizzas and were provided with a good selection of pizza toppings. Our gelato was high quality, smooth rich vanilla flavor with cherry or chocolate topping. We had an opportunity to taste test a pizza prepared by our host Fabrizio before our personal pizzas were ready. Everyone had an opportunity to make their own waffle cups/cones for the gelato and could have multiple offerings. Fabrizio provided us with easy to follow step by step direction as he demonstrated how to prepare the pizza dough as we followed along. Fabrizio went around to each participant and made sure we were doing good and provided additional help when needed. He told us the history of Italian pizza and gelato and shared some interesting facts. We paired our pizza with white wine, soft drinks were also available. The pizza and gelato was very fulfilling. My daughter and I really enjoyed this cooking class and look forward to booking another one.

Mateo is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and the food we prepared was awesome! We made Torricelli and pesto from scratch, ravioli filled with ricotta cheese and topped with Parmesan and heavy cream topping with tomato sauce and basil from scratch, and tiramisu from scratch! Book him now!

Fantastic evening, Alfredo, our chef, was amazing. He helped a lot but was witty and gave us time when required. He was also super knowledgeable about Milan and we had a great chat with him at the end too. Th pizza was great, as was the gelato. Who would think you can make such things from pizza novice to expert in a couple of hours. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting. Thanks again Alfredo, you really made our evening. Grazie mille.

Chef Alfredo made this a great experience! He was kind, funny, super interactive, and gave everyone time in attention. Chef Fabricio Didn’t excellent job at teaching the gelato class and giving us the opportunity to be hands on. The Pizza was the best part! Just absolutely delicious!
Erich_U, Mar 2026
Matteo has truly found his calling. Everything we made turned out delicious, but what made the experience truly enjoyable and unforgettable was his kindness and charm. I signed up for the class because a family member spoke just as highly of the experience, and Matteo specifically, and it still managed to exceed my expectations. Worth every penny.
Vinita_M, Mar 2026
This was such a fun experience for my family! Chef Matteo was an excellent teacher. Definitely recommend this class if you are looking to learn some Italian cooking.

This pizza and gelato cooking class was a fun way to spend our last night in Italy! David was a good teacher who was patient with us. We appreciated the hands-on learning combined with the moments to relax, enjoy and eat.
Scott_B, Feb 2026
It was everything we hoped for. Alfredo was a patient teacher, the fresh ingredients were fun to experience, our tween boys had so much fun. Best of all, our creations were delicious and loved/devoured by everyone of all ages!
Lindsey_R, Feb 2026
Alfredo was a great teacher and host. Fun environment and good food. Middle school children were able to participate in every element of the class.
Colleen_B, Feb 2026
The entire family enjoyed making and enjoying our meal! I appreciate that it was well organized, family friendly and delicious!
Cheryl_M, Feb 2026
It was superb and the chef was very good and a true delight. We had booked pizza and gelato but the class was actually pasta and gelato when we arrived. What a great mistake. We learned to make two wonderful pastas and gelato. Hands on pasta making too.
Candace_C, Jan 2026
David was an excellent instructor for our Neapolitan pizza and gelato class. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the experience fun and easy to follow, even for my 11-year-old son. We had a great time, learned a lot, and the food was incredible. Highly recommend this class with David!

This was a great experience!! Matteo was very informative, friendly, and a great teacher! We had the best time making margarita pizza and Gelato.
Tom_L, Nov 2025
Come and be taught to make delicious Italian food, while learning about Italian cuisine and culture, as well as general cooking knowledge from Matteo. He is clearly a skilled chef but also funny, engaging and intelligent. Money and time well spent. A good thing to schedule early in your first trip to Milano, and something to do again on a return. Pasta and gelato this time, pizza for the next.
Nadia_O, Nov 2025
Highly recommended. The chefs made it lots of fun. They explained the history of pizza and answered all questions.
Tanya_O, Oct 2025
We booked the 3pm seating and it was great fun for our family of boys and girl ranging from 22-15. A good 3 hrs of real hands on mixing, kneading, toppings, gelato cups etc. cuvée throughout your time. Alfredo our instructor was very clear in his instructions and fun! Well worth it.
Donna_K, Oct 2025
It was a fun, friendly and relaxed learning experience. Chef Mateo was fun and his instructions were easy to follow. He was very helpful along in the process. We created our own pizza pies and baked them and customize the toppings of our choice. We watched him create Gelato and of course sampling. It was so much fun. There was a lot of wine, water and other beverages available.
Robert_W, Oct 2025
Really fun experience! Mateo was engaging, informative and funny! The location is a bit tricky to find so give yourself extra time. We got great tips on the ingredients and processes involved as well as places to go in milan for authentic milanese food and Gelato. Do everyone else a favor, though, and don't show up late for the class. We had 3 late arrivals and the rest of us had to pause and wait for them to get caught up. The staff was super helpful and got the late comers up and running but it is rude to make others stand around while you get up to speed. Would highly recommend doing this while in milan!
Mark_L, Oct 2025
Alfredo did a great job! Learned a lot about making pizza and gelato! Make sure you read the directions on how to get there.
Karen_G, Oct 2025
Matteo was an excellent teacher. Even though I have been making pizza at home for years, I learned many hints and tips to make it better. Great experience, fun and ended up with a delicious dinner.
Curt_R, Oct 2025
The Milan Cooking Class: Authentic Pizza & Gelato Making with Matteo was an absolute highlight. We made pizza and gelato — and even got to learn how to make our own waffle cones! Matteo was an excellent teacher, sharing new techniques for pizza-making that my wife and I had never seen before. Both the pizza and gelato turned out perfectly and were surprisingly simple to make. Highly recommend this class if you have the chance!
Patricia_C, Oct 2025
Highly recommend this cooking class. It was fun and a great experience. Can’t wait to get home and try. Chef Matteo Caprotti was awesome.
Marita_L, Oct 2025
It was a fantastic experience and great food
Come on time some folks were late and they could not participate.
Gene_C, Oct 2025
A fun night with good food and comrades with other guests. Alfredo was our host and did a splendid job teaching us how to prepare and cook pizza and gelato. Great families and couples! Entertaining and well run.
John_S, Sep 2025
Very enjoyable time spent learning how to make pizza from scratch plus gelato. It was very well done! Follow the directions closely to find the cooking school. We would do it again
Jill_L, Sep 2025
I've made pizza before but this class was still useful. But, more important, the instructor was so engaging and encouraging to everyone. Many bottles of wine were consumed during the process and we had an opportunity to meet and chat with fellow attendees while we made our pizzas and our waffle cups for the gelato that was in the machine getting ready. At the end, after we had all devoured our pizzas and gelato, our host was kind enough to answer questions about cooking,. By the time we arrived back at our apartment, our recipe book was in my inbox! This was a very enjoyable experience - highly recommend!
