Customer Reviews
We did the pizza and gelato making experience. Giorgio and his team did a fantastic job. They are knowledgeable, friendly and make you feel at home. Would absolutely do again on our next visit to Florence.
We had a FANTASTIC time with Elena today. Literally the best pizza we’ve had in Italy…our own! Don’t come here without expecting to eat. Your pizza, white pizza, gelato, sorbet, wine/beer and a small snack to start us off. We loved this experience so much.
Our pasta-making experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We were greeted warmly by Elanora (forgive me if I’ve misspelled her name!) and immediately felt at home. The day began with a visit to a local market, where we picked out fresh ingredients for our dishes — such a special touch that made the class feel truly authentic. Back in the cozy kitchen and dining room, we learned how to make two different kinds of pasta and a delicious tiramisu for dessert, all while enjoying wine, water, and snacks along the way. Elanora shared fascinating stories and history about the town, and took the time to answer all of our questions. The class was small and intimate, which made it easy to follow along and connect with everyone. We ended the experience by sitting down together in the charming dining room to enjoy the beautiful meal we had created. It was educational, fun, and filled with incredible food — an unforgettable experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
