The experience
You'll work inside a beautiful 17th-century palazzo in central Rome with a professional local chef who speaks English. The class opens with a glass of Prosecco and Roman-style antipasti, then moves into the kitchen where you'll knead pizza dough completely from scratch, shape it, and bake your own crust. While that's in the oven, you'll learn what separates authentic Italian gelato from ice cream and make your own batch to take with you. The whole experience runs about two and a half hours.
For toppings, you choose from a range that includes prosciutto, salami, fresh vegetables, and olives: whatever appeals to you. You'll stretch and top your pizza, watch it bake, then sit together in the cozy dining room to eat what you've made, paired with Italian wine. The gelato you've churned comes out at the same time, so you finish the class tasting your own work. At the end, the chef gives you a QR code with the recipes so you can recreate both at home.
The class is small enough that you get step-by-step guidance without feeling rushed, and it works for families, couples, and anyone who wants to spend a morning or afternoon learning how Romans actually cook two of Italy's most iconic foods. No cooking experience is needed: the chef walks you through every step.
