Pizza, gelato and memories - Great time at Taste of Italy Pizza and Gelato cooking class with Niccolò while visiting Florence. Niccolò was welcoming and very attentive. We had a private experience as it was January and the only group to register. We were very appreciative he didn't cancel our reservation (like another company did due to lack of reservations). The kitchen was immaculate. Niccolò was a great host and made sure we were well attended to throughout the experience. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and answered the abundance of questions we through at him. We were able to choose from a variety of pizza toppings for our pizza. We learned about some of the history of making gelato. He chose the flavor of gelato - honey, which was delicious. He served beverages throughout our "lesson", water, bottomless Prosecco and Aperol spritz. A great time had by all. Would definitely recommend this experience and will likely do it again with a group when we return to Tuscany in the fall. Thank you, Niccolò, for an unforgettable experience!

Must-Do for Families! - Welcoming atmosphere that felt like I was in the kitchen of family/close friend. We all (mom, dad, 10 yo daughter, 8 yo son) had a wonderful time. Everyone stayed engaged the entire class and learned a lot. We would have considered additional classes if we were in Florence longer.

Best Pizza Ever — And We Made It Ourselves 🍕🍨 - We loved this experience. Making our own pizza and gelato was a blast, and the kids couldn’t stop talking about it — they said it was the best pizza they’ve had so far on the trip. Super fun, hands-on, and a great family memory. Would absolutely do it again.

Tasty Family Activity - We had an amazing experience at Taste of Italy! My husband, our two kids, my mom, and my stepfather all joined the pizza and gelato class, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Florence. The class was incredibly interactive and informative — the instructors made every step easy to follow and fun for all ages. The kids loved getting hands-on with the dough, and the adults learned tips we’ll definitely use at home. And of course, everything was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this experience for families visiting Florence. It’s a perfect mix of learning, cooking, and enjoying authentic Italian flavors together. We can’t stop talking about it! 🍕🍨🇮🇹

Family of Five Cooking Experience. - This cooking class experience was amazing. We have a 13, 10, and 8 year old. They loved the experience of making pizza and gelato. This was their favorite pizza of all the ones they had during our week in Italy. The Chef was very knowledgeable and very enjoyable to talk to. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Florence.
