Awesome experience in every way. Our chef, Shiva was energetic, fun, and knowledgeable. The class was held in a professional kitchen too. This was a great. One note, the venue is 3 miles out of town so you may want to factor the taxi ride into the overall cost. We would totally do this again just for the fun of it.

Must do Class with Shiva

Kim_V, Oct 2025

This was an incredible class! I can’t believe I can go home and make these amazing desserts: tiramisu, gelato and cannoli! Shiva was so much fun and made it so simple. I highly recommend this class!

This cooking class was a great experience! Very interesting to see a pastry lab and get to make cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato. All the desserts came out amazing! It’s worth it for the 30min bus ride from Rome!

Kimberly_B, Jul 2025

Wonderful class! Our instructor was super friendly and informative. The recipes that we made were all authentic and delicious. All around a great experience for the family. We stayed in the city center and had to take a cab to get out to this location but it was totally worth it!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Customer, thank you so much for your kind review, we are truly glad you and your family enjoyed your experience with us! Best regards, Vice Baking Lab Management

Not a company of their word.

Carmine_B, Oct 2024

We were looking forward to this class so much that we booked it long ago and was in Rome just a few days for it. But a few days before the class - because they didn't have enough people they canceled it, offering us to go another day - but we were not there when they offered. I feel if you book & pay and you are told they will have a class they should go through with it. Stick to your word. I was very disappointed with this company, being they did it twice while we were in Italy.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Carmine, did we do it twice? what are you talking about ? : ) why are you leaving a feedback if you have not even participated?? Luckily our customers can read all our 5-star reviews everywhere on our sales channels. would you have held a class with only 2 people without a profit margin and LOSING MONEY? it is very rare that we cancel our customers, you were offered several alternatives and schedules before we refunded you. it is really mean of you since this review will damage us, Bests, Vice Lab Management

Fun Pastry Class Night!

Marcy_B, Oct 2024

Highlight of our trip to Rome! Learned so much around cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato. And enjoyed eating and getting to take it all home. Bea was a great instructor and patient helping to get each recipe perfect.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Marcy, We are glad you enjoyed the experience! We truly appreciate your words and value your opinion. Thank you for taking the time to write a review! It was a pleasure meeting you! Best Regards, Vice Management

Fun and delicious

Dorie_M, Aug 2024

We enjoyed working with the chef. It was a small group of 4. 2 families. The instruction was clear and easy to follow. Chef made it fun too. Recipe was shared via email after. Would do it again or another class here.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear Dorie, thank you for sharing a feedback, it is very important to us. We are glad you had fun at our cannoli, tiramisu and gelato cooking class. Wish you the best, Vice Lab Management

Awesome cannoli, tiramisu, gelato making class!

Lisa_C, Jul 2024

Our party of three adults had an awesome time making and eating cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato with our very attentive and knowledgeable chefs Bea and Riccardo, along with our delightful greeters Anna and Julia. It was just a fun morning learning about some of our favorite desserts. We couldn't believe that we found a class making exactly what we wanted and we will definitely be making these recipes at home. We had taken pasta and pizza cooking classes previously and so were looking for something different like this class this time. We chose to arrive by taxi to class at the "bakery lab" which is in Rome but outside of the "Roman center" and at our request, our greeters called a taxi for our return which arrived in just a couple of minutes. We highly recommend!!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Lisa, thank you for this detailed feedback and nice words, it means the world to us. It was a pleasure to meet you all and we hope you had the best journey in Rome! Best Regards,

Best Italian desserts ever!!

David_F, Jun 2024

Super experience, very welcoming and accommodating. A few in our class were vegetarian and they substituted butter for them Really just an amazing time and Cannolis Were spectacular. We made every piece step-by-step and they were very patient and helpful We even got a surprise Gelato at the end With the Chef fi’s special Salted caramel. 100% worth the price and will go back again soon with more friends.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear David, thanks a lot for your kind words, we truly appreaciate it. We are glad you and your friends had such an amazing time, we hope to see you soon for more culinary fun! Best regards, Vice Baking Lab

Fantastic experience

Richard_B, Jun 2024

A proper cooking experience with a well planned and delivered session. Easy to get to from the metro with a short walk or they can collect if you ask. The ingredients were quality and both the chef and translator were very engaging throughout, this made the experience for us.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Richard, thanks a lot for your feedback, it is very important for us. We are glad you and Natalie had a good time with us and enjoyed our cooking class experience. It was a pleasure to meet such nice people like you! Best regards
