2 Hour Florence Pizza and Gelato Small Group Guided Cooking Class

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a Florence kitchen to shape pizza dough and churn gelato under guidance from a working Italian chef. Over two and a half hours, you'll handle real ingredients, learn the techniques that separate good from mediocre, then eat what you've made alongside wine or beer. It's a straightforward way to pick up skills you'll actually use again, set in the heart of the city.

Highlights

• Hands-on pizza and gelato preparation with a professional chef
• Fresh, locally sourced ingredients throughout
• Taste your own pizza and gelato with included wine or beer
• Small group setting in a working Florence kitchen
• Techniques applicable to cooking at home

What to expect

You'll start with fundamentals: how dough behaves, what makes it rise, why timing matters. The chef demonstrates, then you get your hands in. Same for gelato—you'll learn why temperature control and ingredient balance create smooth, intense flavour rather than icy disappointment. After the making comes the eating: sit down with your pizza, gelato, and a drink. It's casual, not rushed. Expect to leave with sore forearms and usable knowledge.

Good to know

The space is fully accessible with level surfaces and wheelchair access throughout. Prams and strollers are fine for infants. Public transport stops are within walking distance. Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on.
