Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class in Tuscan Farmhouse from Florence

Highly recommend. My husband, 20 old daughter and I had a blast making our own custom pizzas and gelato. Pizza maker, Luigi, Gelato maker Gloria weeds both fantastic. The pizza was delicious, the best we’ve ever had, and the gelato was exceptional as well. The entire excursion was a little over five hours and thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end.

My family of 5 adults enjoyed this so very much. Gloria welcomed us and taught us how to make all different flavors of Gelato. Thomas and Arda taught us how to make pizza dough. They explained all the do’s and don’ts, along with the why!! We laughed, drank wine/beer and feasted on pizza and gelato. The farm is beautiful, overlooking Florence, like out of a movie.

Not only is this experience staged on a beautiful estate in the hills above Florence, it is absolutely first rate for content. We learned some simple techniques for pizza dough and sauce that yield amazing results. It will vastly improve our own efforts in our backyard. The drive also reveals fantastic views of Florence. The included experience of making Gelato and Sorbet is fun as well. Beautiful setting, great staff, and the pizza making was fun and informative. 5 Stars for sure.

We (two couples plus twenty four others) were picked up in a convenient location and driven in a small coach approximately 10 minutes out of Florence. On arrival we were met by Gloria who lead us to our destination - a fabulous purpose built area with spectacular views overlooking the city. We were given a choice of drink and an appetiser and then taken to our gelato making class taken by Gloria . It was both informative and great fun and by the end of the evening miraculously, with her expert knowledge, everyone had produced some gorgeous gelato! Then it was on to the amazing Thomas and Luigi who were aficionados in pizza making! They demonstrated how to make the dough for the base and then it was our turn- let’s just say they made it look simple!! The whole group were able to have a go while they came around to show, encourage and correct!! Then off we went in small groups of six to each make our own pizza and despite our worst efforts they were absolutely delicious! This was a fabulous experience- Gloria,Thomas and Luigi were all fantastic teachers; knowledgeable and great fun and they made it a memorable evening for everyone!! Once our pizzas were cooked we were able to eat the fruits of our labours and then finish our meal with a sample of everyone’s gelato. It was beautiful- and Gloria should know how to make it as her family are renowned award winning gelato makers!!! If you’re wondering if you should book this tour just do as it was one of the highlights of our trip to Florence…thank you Gloria,Thomas and Luigi from Nigel, Sallie, Roy and Nicky

I loved everything about this! The food was amazing but the hosts were even better! Thomas was very knowledgeable about pizza and Gloria was entertaining, sweet, smart, and fun!! Arla was also excellent! Overall great experience! I am recommending you to my niece who is coming here for her honeymoon!

I had a fine time but am very disappointed not to have received the recipes for gelato and pizza dough that I was REPEATEDLY PROMISED!!! Please try to correct this. I was told it would be emailed to me. 😡😡😡😡. I would like to give a good review but cannot. Lynn Kauderer

The setting was stunning and the staff were great. They really made sure everyone was happy and we really learned a lot. Highly recommend!

Gloria, Thomas and Luigi were generous hosts and facilitated a perfect balance of cooking instruction and a lovely meal. They were humorous, knowledgeable and helpful. All set against the beautiful backdrop of the Tuscany hills.

THIS IS A MUST. Best excursion I’ve ever done. The instructors are amazing and the food and wine is delicious. And the views are stunning. Stop reading this and book now.

This tour was a great way to experience local cuisine, see the beautiful Tuscan sites, and learn hands on how to make pizza and gelato. Gloria, Thomas, and Luciano were excellent hosts. Gloria was the gelato expert. She was informative, fun, and helpful. Loved the way she communicated with everyone! Thomas and Luciano tag teamed the pizza making. Their informative and humorous presentations were priceless. Very engaging. Our group each chose different flavors for the gelato so we were able to experience many different ones. If you go, encourage your group to do the same!! Eating your own pizza creation with a beautiful view of Florence was fantastic! Put this on your list!
