Our favorite Italy Experience - Cris, Tiziano and Lodovik were absolutely fantastic. This was our favorite thing we did during our entire Italy vacation. The hosts of our class were charming, friendly and very handsome ;). They remembered our names and it felt like they were really part of the experience instead of them just teaching us and standing back. Would recommend this tour to anyone and will be making the pizza and gelato for years to come.

Highlight of our trip! - Wonderful experience from start to finish. Ado met the group at the train station, we walked about 7 minutes to meet the bus. The bus was full coach and the trip was close to an hour. Winding roads through the Tuscan countryside with beautiful scenery. Arrived at the kitchen/location thats been newly renovated with marble countertop tables and spotless supplies. The staff were unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. My family of 6 enjoyed it so immensely. The pasta making was fun and engaging as well as the gelato instruction. Our leaders Ado, Gloria and Letizia were the best. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Florence. Recommend 100%.

Fun while learning to cook pasta and gelato - My sister and I had a great experience at the pasta/gelato class. I never thought cooking could be so much fun! The teaching was very hands on so you were sure you had the recipes and process done correctly. Thank you for such a great time.

An amazing experience for the whole family-a must do!!! - My husband and my two kids eight and 12 had the most fantastic time doing the pizza and gelato making at the farm in Tuscany. It was absolutely amazing. It was fun for the kids and fun for the parents as well-it was such a unique experience and a nice break from museums and walking around the city, etc. Highly recommend!!! we also met a bunch of really nice people that day as well. We’ll definitely remember this day always!!!

Five Star - We had such a wonderful experience at the pizza and gelato cooking class in Florence! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and everything was organized perfectly from start to finish. The chefs are truly top notch—their passion and expertise really shine through.
A special shoutout to Chris, Lodovik, and Tiziano, who made the class especially memorable. They were so personable, engaging, and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. We learned a lot, laughed a ton, and of course, the food turned out delicious!
Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Florence—it’s a fantastic way to spend time, learn new skills, and enjoy amazing food.

Family with teenagers. Everyone loved it!!! - Family of 4 - including two teenagers
We have returned home from Italy with many, many memories. My favourite day though, was our trip for Gelato and Pizza making. We met our group and took a private bus up into the hills away from Florence proper for about a 25 minute drive. We arrived at a beautiful spot over looking the hills with Florence off in the distance. Max explained some science about gelato making and then we were off to make some delicious treats! While waiting for some chilling of our mixtures, we started making our pizzas with Arla and Tiziano. They were informative and engaging and hilarious! Everything was delicious and we could not stop grinning from all the fun we had! My husband is gluten intolerant, but they made him some delicious gf pasta and we enjoyed his pizza the next day. Such a great afternoon/evening. Everything was so well done! We looked at many possibilities for a cooking class while in Tuscany, and I am so glad we did this one. It was fantastic and I would do it again!

Even the teenagers loved it. 😁 - This was our favorite activity from our time near Florence. Gloria, Lodovik and Tiziano were wonderful hosts and great teachers. Everything was clearly very well organized and extremely well done, from the timing of each step to giving time between activities to socialize. Even our teenagers (ages 16 & 18) admitted it was their favorite thing they did, too.

I had the most fun! - This was truly my favorite excursion during my trip to Italy. The views were absolutely spectacular, the food was incredible, and the Three CHEFS were such a joy to spend time with. I’ll always cherish the new techniques they shared with us for making pizza and gelato. This was an unforgettable experience that I will treasure forever — don’t miss the chance to enjoy something so special!

Book this tour. - This class featured the most beautiful scenery, state of the art kitchen and loads of wine. The bus transportation was comfortable and it felt great to leave the city center and into the countryside. Upon arrival we were greeted by 3 of the chefs, an appetizer and a glass of wine. The kitchen were you make the gelato is beautiful! Pizza is made at the outside kitchen with the pizza oven. The chefs were great at teaching and had lots of personality. The tour is 5 hours and it is completely worth every penny.
