Gelato & Italian Biscotti Masterclass | Private

Our gelato and Italian biscotti class is an authentic Italian experience where you will learn how to make your very own gelato & biscotti or tiramisù from scratch. This family-friendly class is led by our energetic English-speaking chef and held in either our 17th-century palazzo around the corner from Piazza Navona or our brand new cooking school a stone’s throw away from the Pantheon.

Perfect for kids and adults, locals and visitors, this cooking class is all about “la dolce vita.” You will have the amazing opportunity to customize and create classic Italian gelato with your favorite flavors. One scoop or two? Choose from a selection of seasonal fresh fruit, like Tuscan strawberries or lemons from Sorrento, deep-green pistachios, high-quality dark chocolate from Perugia, or the timeless crowd-pleaser, Nutella.

While your gelato is freezing, you’ll learn how to make either Italian biscotti, the perfect partner to gelato, or the most quintessential Italian dessert: the fabulously rich tiramisù.

Craving an authentic Italian experience?  This class is a much more satisfying experience than simply visiting a gelateria in Rome. Best of all, we will send you the recipes afterwards so your kids can continue to make gelato at home. What fun!

Well worth it, would love to come again! Perfect for adults and children alike, this class is poignant and fun. Led by professional chefs, this professional kitchen is upstairs, off a side street of a main piazza and not terribly far from the Pantheon (to help acclimate the location). First, meet nearby and be led a short distance to the actual site. Chefs show concern for safety and allergies/cross-contamination but be sure to make them aware of this ahead of time to give them a fair chance to prepare. Soda, water or wine are included. You'll be a full participant in the creation, no demonstrations where your time is limited to assist. The pizza (with array of toppings to choose to use) and gelato outcomes were fabulous, and recipes are provided at the end. Would recommend children to be at least elementary school age to really participate.

Amazing authentic experience Such an amazing class! We did the shared Pizza & Gelato making class. This was one of our favourite things we did in Italy! We did it with our children (4&7yrs of age). We also ended up paired with another lovely family with children the same age. It was such a fun evening!
The instructor was amazing, he encouraged the kids to do everything on their own. There was so much fun & laughter. Everything was perfectly organized. The food turned out amazing. We can't wait to recreate the recipes now that we are back home! We did this on our last night in Rome and it was a perfect ending to our trip.

A Wonderful Roman Experience We (party of 4 including grandparents and teenager) took a class in pasta making with 3 sauces. It was very interesting but also very fun. A very relaxed atmosphere and a wonderful teacher/chef in Giulio. The lesson is the first part and at the end we sat and ate our dishes - much more food than we needed, of course. Just wonderful!
