What To Expect

Learn how to make two of Italy's most popular and delicious foods during this Florence cooking class.

As you get started with your chef, learn about the history of pizza-making in Italy, and the distinct characteristics between pies from each Italian region. Sample an array of pizza flavors as you go and then throw your own creation in the oven to bake.

Continue with a lesson in dessert, as you receive instruction on crafting traditional Italian gelato. While this sweet treat does share similarities to ice cream found in other countries, it typically has a lower amount of butterfat and a unique freezing process that accounts for its dense, flavorful consistency. As your instructor shows you the secrets of the trade, enjoy plenty of samples to satisfy your sweet tooth.

After your class concludes, take home your insider’s tips from your chef to impress your friends in the kitchen.

Fun instruction and interactive pizza and gelato class, where you truly get to customize and eat your own pizza creation! The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Class included pizza with customizable topping options, as well as soft drinks and Chianti wine. Gelato was a group effort and still very tasty.

A highlight of our trip
Nicole_M, Apr 2024
We had the best time learning how to make pizza and gelato. I booked this for my foodie husband, but I had a blast as well. We got to drink local wine and learn so much about the history of pizza and gelato. We also got to meet and chat with other travelers at our table, which was another highlight. We couldn’t recommend this class enough!

Candace_M, Apr 2024
very nice proffessional space. small enough group to feel you get to hear well, and ask.questions.. you can not control the people you are in class with.. children's hands and double dipping to taste was unpleasant..

Great Event!
Matoumona_K, Apr 2024
Wonderful staff and beautiful experience for my family. Food came out perfectly and my kids were pleasantly surprised at how fun the class was. They were complaining about seeing too many historical events, but loved the event. My kids helped to make the gelato as well. If I ever return to Florence, we will do this again.
So much fun!

This experience was the absolute highlight of our trip! It was perfect with our 8 and 7 year olds. The villa on the hillside was such a beautiful site. Angie, Pizzaino, and Tomas were the perfect hosts!!

Wonderful class experience.
Shannon_B, Apr 2024
Absolutely wonderful class. With their guidance, I think I made the best pizza I ever had. A fun class with engaging teachers. I also now know how to tell a really good aurhenric gelato place from one that may use not so good ingredients. Also I can tell when a place has fresh Gelato vs refrigerated and recycled Gelato. As well as how to make my own.
