I would definitely recommend this cooking experience. I took my 16 yr old son with me and we both enjoyed the experience. Our Chef Duccio and his partner chef (don't remember her name) were great. This is a nice experience away from the usual historical tours and you get to experience cooking for us, was a Pizza and having homemade gelato, and coming away with .ore information about the food prep and ingredients. We are in Italy, choose a cooking class, and this one, we had a great time.

A fun last night spent in Rome as a mother & son cooking class! The pizza tasted amazing too. Didn't actually get to make the gelato the chef showed us how its done but it was a yummy treat at the end

Authentic Roman Pizza, 5-Star Gelato, and the Ultimate "Local" Guide!

Melinda_K, Feb 2026

Our family (two parents and kids ages 10 and 12) absolutely loved this class. The kitchen was high-quality, and our teacher, Stefania, was phenomenal. She shared wonderful stories about her grandmother’s pizza dough and used her years of experience to help us fix any dough issues on the fly. We learned to make a true Roman-style thin crust from scratch and feel confident we can replicate it at home. Beyond the cooking, the class was a deep dive into Italian culture. Stefania gave us incredible tips on how to spot authentic restaurants versus tourist traps, iconic Roman dishes to seek out, and a list of authentic gelato spots. We used her recommendations over the next few days, and they were all spot on! As for the food we made—the chocolate gelato was the absolute best we had during our entire trip. It was also a lovely experience sharing the kitchen with another family from a different country. If you want a fun, skill-building, and culturally rich experience in Rome, this is it. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time...

We had a wonderful time with our kids, aged 11 and 14, and the pizza and gelato were excellent. Recommend it highly.

Pizza Class with Gelato, Experience It, We Did! Great Time!

Brilliant!

Review I am going to start with the conclusion- this is so much fun and you should book it!!! We spent 3 hours learning how to create our own pizza bases, baking them and eating them with a carafe of wine between the two of us. We were in a small group which was ideal and after the session we are both confident we could do this at home when we get back. Duccio was our host, who explained things step by step and we were able to laugh at our attempts to move from the dough to the base. I managed to invent a paper thin base that was almost transparent and my wife went for an artistic heart shape. Ultimately it was all about the taste and they really were as good as those you get in the local restaurants so don’t plan to eat out in the evening! The gelato making was watching Duccio explaining how it was made rather than all trying however we were all able to share it when it was finished. If you want to have a great time, whether on your own, as a couple or a family I would have no hesitation in recommending this.

It was really fun as well...

Sheila_G, Aug 2025

It was really fun as well as the learning how to make our own pizza. The two ladies that led our class really made it come to life with really fun interactions with all of us in the class. Well worth the time and money and a nice change from the Walking Tour style of visiting Rome.

Book now!

BOOK this! DUCCI the chef used to make 500pizzas a day before he sold his pizzeria in Toronto. He is FABULOUS! We enjoyed an evening full of laughs, meeting incredible people, and making two of our favorite things, pizza and gelato. The facility is extremely clean and brand new (only 2weeks old as of June 17, 2025).

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re beyond happy to hear how much you enjoyed your evening with Chef Duccio—he truly is fabulous, and his pizza-making skills are legendary! It’s wonderful that you had fun, met great people, and created two Italian classics in our brand-new space. Laughter, great food, and good company—that’s what it’s all about. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! – The Towns of Italy Team
