What to expect

During this hands-on Pizza & Gelato Class in central Rome, you’ll learn how to prepare two of Italy’s most iconic treats from scratch with a professional local chef. You’ll start by making authentic Italian gelato: combining fresh ingredients, mixing flavors, and understanding the simple techniques behind creamy homemade gelato.

Next, you’ll move on to pizza. Your chef will guide you as you mix, knead, and shape your own pizza dough before choosing your favorite toppings.
