Federico and Alfredo were excellent host. It was my daughters 4th birthday and they went above and beyond to make it a memorable day. She was beaming from ear to ear for a majority of the class. The pizzas came out great and the gelato was a nice touch. They even lit a candle to sing happy birthday.

This cooking class by Towns of Italy - Chef Federico & Chef Tommaso was one of the best things I did on my trip to Florence (Firenze). Both chefs were very engaging, funny and also very detailed in their explanation of the Pizza and Gelato making process. Everything about this class was fun, the pizza making process, the collaboration with fellow attendees, making friends and learning a little about them and their travels, seeing the final product (my pizza) and eating the pizza was all extremely fun and educational. Moving forward I plan to make pizzas at home from scratch and stop buying the chain-store pizzas. I had a fantastic time that evening with everyone. I would highly recommend everyone to go do this at least once. regards, PJ Desai.

I would highly recommend this class. Me and my wife had so much fun at it because the teacher was enthusiastic and informative. He was very easy to understand and gave tons of great tips and gelato recommendations. The class size was perfect and he gave plenty of attention and guidance to each group. They also emailed a recipe guide almost immediately after the class which is nice because I would’ve only remembered like half of the tips he gave.
