Join us for a full immersion class and learn how to make a pizza "perfetta" and enjoy it along with homemade gelato in the city of Rome!
Step into the heart of Italian culinary tradition and learn to craft pizza and gelato just like grandma does! Join our engaging cooking class led by passionate chefs who will guide you through the history and techniques behind these iconic Italian delights. With our professional “pizzaiolo” by your side, you'll create your own personalized pizza from scratch. Begin by preparing the dough, then learn to stretch, sauce, and top it with a variety of seasonal ingredients. Whether you prefer a thin, crispy crust or a soft, fluffy base, our chef will teach you how to master the perfect dough and share insider techniques to help you recreate the magic back home.
While your pizza dough rests, dive into the world of gelato! Discover the origins of this sweet treat, explore fresh ingredients, and learn traditional (and easy) preparation methods. During the demonstration, our chef will also share tips for spotting authentic gelato shops during your travels in Italy.
At the end of the class, you’ll receive a digital booklet filled with all the recipes, so you can impress friends and family with your newfound skills.
This experience is perfect for families, especially those with curious young chefs eager to explore Italian culture in a fun, hands-on way. Make lasting memories together as you taste, learn, and laugh your way through this delicious adventure!
