We had Jon as our chef and he was great! Very friendly and helpful. Classes was cool to learn how to make pizza and gelato. Love that they give you the recipes and a certificate after. My only con is I didn’t realize the gelato wouldn’t be made individually but more a group setting but was still delicious.

SO much fun! We loved our teacher Nicoló and it was just such a fun experience. We were originally hesitant to take 3 hours out of our time to explore Florence but it was well-worth it. We loved learning the right ways to make pizza and gelato, had a blast, and even made friends that we hung out with later that evening! Loved it!
