Great, but...

Brenda_B, Apr 2024

This class was very fun, the gal teaching was wonderful and knowledgeable. We made delicious Gelato! The only drawback was the price. Definitely overpriced; should be half of what they charge.

Not worth the Price

Ram_R, Mar 2024

Our expectations weren't high but considering we paid $75 for the class per person, the overall experience was disappointing.

Delicious Fun

Carla_C, Feb 2024

Great, funny, wonderful instructors - we all had a great time (ages 11-55) and are making plans to keep making gelato once we are home!

Fantastico!

Samuel_C, Dec 2023

This was a wonderful experience! My children loved this class and we loved that it was more personal. We learned how to make the chunky cherry gelato and it was amazing! Thank you so much to Julia for an amazing experience

Lovely and a great experience!

ClintonZ, Dec 2023

Julia was a great instructor and a great person! At the beginning the class didn’t start on time and we were a little confused if we were in the correct spot, but then everything worked out and it was a wonderful class! And get ready to eat gelato! So much gelato!

Cool off in a fun way with a delicious treat

Arielle_B, Aug 2023

When in Rome, make gelato! There are lots of things to see in Rome, obviously, but with it being so hot out, this was a super fun experience. Vanessa was awesome and clearly takes pride in what she does. She explained the importance of certain ingredients and highlighted the art of making great gelato. Let’s be honest, you can find gelato anywhere in Rome, but you are missing out if you don’t try this gelato. If you don’t take this class, be sure to stop in and at least taste some of their gelato. It is to die for and the quality of the ingredients can’t be matched by other gelato places nearby. I don’t typically like Cherry, but it was incredible when we mixed it in our gelato. Also, the pistachio will knock your socks off!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We're thrilled to hear about your enjoyable experience at our Gelato Lovers Workshop! It's fantastic that you found a delightful and refreshing way to beat the heat while in Rome. Vanessa takes pride in her craft, and we're glad that her passion and expertise shone through during the workshop. We couldn't agree more – while gelato is abundant in Rome, the experience of creating your own with us adds an extra layer of enjoyment. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the high quality of our ingredients, making your gelato truly special. The unique flavors like Cherry and Pistachio clearly left a lasting impression on you. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our Gelato Lovers Workshop. If you ever find yourself back in Rome or are looking for more culinary adventures, we'd love to welcome you again for another memorable experience!

Persiano!

Giorgos_H, Jun 2023

It was a unique experience, the staff was very welcoming and persiano was the best ice cream flavour we’ve ever had.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hello there, thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing our cooking class in Rome!

Very basic

Assaf_B, Mar 2023

We were full of expectations, but actually it was a bit disappointed. First, we came to an english workshop and actually we were the only English speakers there, the others were Italian, so he did translate to English, but 80% of the time he spoke Italian so it wasn't so nice. We do learned how to make an ice cream, but it was really basic: the mix of milk, cream and sugar as a base, using an ice cream machine and than adding chocolate to make a chocolate chips ice-cream. I was there with my 13 years old daughter, and she wasn't enthusiastic at all. The place is a bit crowd and you need to stand during this hour. We paid for it 55 euros each, and i think that it was very expensive for this experience. The owner is very nice guy, has good English, and for sure he is a professional in this field of ice-cream production. He is very creative with his owm flavors of ice-cream that he has in his shop.

Gelato Supreme!

Immanuel_D, Jul 2022

Thank you for a wonderful experience! Joe made it fun making gelato and made it look easy! The gelato was very good and I can’t wait to make them in my own kitchen.

Fun class

Nathan_J, Sep 2021

Very friendly and informative. We had a great hour and really enjoyed the tasting afterwards as well.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

I am so happy that the ice cream experience was to your liking! Creating the flavors of our traditional ice cream from scratch is an unforgettable experience, in my opinion! Thanks for your review!
