Such a fun family activity! The pasta and gelato making class was well-paced, and we loved that we got to take the recipes home to try again. Marco was a fantastic teacher and even shared some great local recommendations. Highly recommend!

This class was so much fun! Our instructor Christiana was engaging and you can tell she loves what she’s does. We had a small group with people from all over. There’s nothing better than homemade pizza and gelato. I had no idea gelato was so easy to make!! I would definitely recommend this class.

Franco was great! We shared a class with another family of four, a few steps away from Piazza Navona. We learned a lot of tips and tricks about making gelato/pizza, and the kids loved it! The kitchen was clean and the class was well organized… also, the glass of wine for the adults is a nice touch with the pizza. Highly recommend this experience for a family with young children.

Our chef was excellent, friendly, and taught us so much. Since we had previously done a pasta class in Florence, it was fun that he educated us on some of the differences in the food for Florence, Rome, and Naples. Pizza and Gelato were delicious!
