Guidekin's take

A hands on pizza and gelato class in a Florence pizzeria with a professional chef: you mix the dough from scratch, churn the gelato and eat the results as lunch or dinner, wine included.

The options differ in length and meeting point, with a shorter pizza and cannolo version and a gluten free class. 4.95 from 642 reviews at €50 per person.

In our comparison: #6 of 15 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
