Booked as a couples activity. Highly recommend. Alice and Jon were great hosts and the evening was very enjoyable. Meeting other travellers was also a bonus

If anyone is coming to Rome then this is a must do! My 10 year old son absolutely loved it. Pizza and Gelato making at Towns of Italy Cooking Schools. We were the only 2 booked onto the class so it was a lovely private session with our helpful and knowledgeable Italian chef. We made our own pizzas and gelato from scratch and they were absolutely gorgeous. I got asked if I wanted a drink. “Yes please, I would love a Prosecco”. He returned with a bottle! We left with full bellies, graduation certificates and recipes so we can make our own pizzas at home.

Es war ein schöner, lustiger und kurzweiliger Abend. Man sollte aber schon Englisch sprechen können. Es wurde alles toll erklärt. Die Pizza war lecker und das Eis auch. Es gab Wein und alkoholfreie Getränke dazu.
