Best Gelato + Fun! - What a lovely way to spend the evening. The whole presentation was informative, easy to understand, and quite funny. I went with my 14 year old and she loved it. And the gelato is truly some of the best we’ve ever tasted.

TOTALLY WORTH IT! - Mario gave a detailed demonstration on making authentic gelato. The whole experience was insightful, interactive and the best part was definitely tasting the gelato at the end.

The best gelato in Sorrento - This experience was really interesting. The owner (Mario) talked us through his family’s history of making gelato then there was a hands on demo of making lemon sorbet, which we got to taste. At the end you get 2 scoops of whatever flavours you want and it really is the best gelato ever! I’d read conflicting info on the length of this experience (one place said 1 hour, another said 2) - it was probably about 35 mins with Mario then however long it takes to eat the gelato.

Ok - We enjoyed hearing about how Gelato was made and David was entertaining. However we thought we were going to make gelato ourselves when in fact we simply watched as it was made. Most of the group had a turn at one part of the process ( ie pouring lemon juice into the bowl) but not the whole process from start to end, which is what we had ( possibly mistakenly) expected. We were given a gelato at the end which was delicious- but the smallest portion in a cheap cone which was disappointing.

not a hands on experience - I would like to have had more hands on and tasting with this booking. It was too technical with very little take away information or any experience gained.

Not icecream making - We thought this would be a nice exeperience for our kid. But it was a lot of talking about how to make icecream but you couldnt make it yourself. You got to taste and got ice cream after.

Less than what we expected for the price - Unfortunately, for the price we paid for this show, we expected more than to stand around for an hour and listen to David talking. There was a small demonstration and we received a coupon for a free gelato. But I would recommend saving the $ and spending it on regular gelato.

Short and expensive - The place was not correctly marked on the app, so we had to walk 10 minutts. Which normally would be okey but we were gonna be late and we had a person on crutches with us. On this app it says 2 hours. It isn't its like 35 minutts, we get to se how sorbet is made by a machine, and told facts about different types of gellato. Mario is a wonderfull storyteller, with a good english, but we were dissapointed because the description on the app made us imagine something else. Especially when the price is so stiff. This the most expensive icecream I have ever enten. The experience didn't match the price at all.
