It was great to learn the tips and tricks about making ice cream. It was a pity that you can’t do much activity yourself.

This was a fantastic...

This was a fantastic experience and one of our favorite memories in Italy. Monia was so kind and funny, the workspace was pleasant, spotless, and professionally set up, and the gelato treats we made were delicious! We learned much more than we expected about the interaction of the ingredients and what was important to get the best results. Thank you to Monia for a wonderful time.

The instructor provided clear instructions and explanations. She was very helpful in giving advice on how to prepare ice cream for diabetics.
