"Pizza making class here was fantastic as a family. Gelato making was really more of an instruction in how to do it. The set up is great and staff very friendly and food and wine delicious!"

"Had a fantastic dinner here on our first night in Florence. We shared a starter, and secondi piatti and had a primi piatti and dessert each but i could’ve eaten it all twice over! It was fairly quiet due to off season and the service was amazing, everyone was very friendly. I highly recommend it!"

"We booked a Pasta & Tiramisu cooking class on Expedia.ca, and this was the location for it. Our Chef and teacher Julia was amazing !!!! Her fun personality and humor made this night absolutely fantastic. We also had a fun group and got to know people from different countries and share travel tips etc. Our food was exceptionally tasty and they gave us lots of wine. Would definitely return"

"Booked a cooking class while on vacation. Highly recommend! Giulia was unbelievable, and treated us like friends, not tourists. She was very informative and guided us through the experience. We made pasta, ravioli, and tiramisu. If you're in the area and have a few hours, I would book a class."

"We had a fantastic time at this pizza cooking class! David was a wonderful host—patient, knowledgeable, and took his time to show each of us how to make the dough and cook our pizzas properly. The oven they use is impressive, reaching around 1000°F, which bakes the pizzas in just 2–3 minutes! If I had one small suggestion, it would be to offer a few different sauce options and maybe a wider variety of toppings, as we’re used to something a bit different. That said, the overall experience was excellent, and the gelato at the end was absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!"

"We came for the pizza and gelato making class and it was a 10/10. Our chef was very knowledgeable and helped us prepare our pizzas. Complementary wine, juice, and water. He let us make the chocolate gelato and it was delicious. The pizza making was super fun and he taught us how to make it at home. The pizza and pizza crust were excellent but make sure to add some salt so your pizza isn’t bland. (The sauce is mild and doesn’t have salt)."
