My husband & I were on holiday with our daughter & 3 of our grandkids. We wanted to do something fun just with them. Make some memories. . We kept it a surprise until we met the chef. He did not disappoint!!! He was very patient with our kids (ages 9, 8, & 4 years old). We tried different ways to top our ice cream that were delicious and we would never tried on our own. Did I say DELICIOUS!!!!!! We now have recipes we can recreate when we get home. It was a great family experience!!!!!!

Lovely gelato experience. We loved the class very informative and my girls learned lots.
Chef was knowledgeable about the product and patient in explaining the process. We were either another family who enjoyed the afternoon
Alessandro was a fantastic host. Perfect afternoon - we all had a great time, and it was really inclusive for our 6 year old too.
Did the class with our family, including a 2.5 year old and it was so much fun. They did a good job including her in the cooking process and obviously eating it was the best part. Would definitely recommend!
Really fun experience, Alberto and Filipo were great 😁
A very nice experience with Alberto and Filippo. Perfect for couples but also for families and friends, you will learn how to make ice cream at home and taste its genuine flavour. High quality ingredients, a friendly well organized studio, and a crashcourse lead by Alberto who is able to guide his guests easily and fluently though the most important aspects of preparing the original italian ice cream.
Excellent experience, lovely flavours, lots of fun and a great activity for the whole family. Would highly recommend Alberto and Phillipo! Thank you !
Such a fun experience. Alberto and his team were great. Made 5 different gelato flavors. Thank you for having us.
This was such a great experience to discover the secrets of making re a l gelato the traditional way. The flavours and textures were sensational. It was great fun for the children who attended too
Great workshop! We were a mixed group, 2 teens, 2 parents, 2 grandparents and everyone had a great time. Not too easy or too difficult and super tasty and friendly.
From start to finish, an amazing experience we will not forget! Accommodated our 5 and 9 year old and made them special helpers. Clean, air conditioned, informative, and super friendly— a must do experience in Verona!
We made five different gelatos and learnt lots about the recipes and processes. Really great fun!
The guys were incredible. We took our 5 and 8 year old and they made sure to include them in everything. Great way to spend 2 hours.
Highly recommend this activity. Great experience for my wife and I with our 6 and 9 year old. The chef was perfect, and the cooking space was great. The gelato flavours were really phenomenal with a variety of unique topping to explore. My kids will always remember the time they learned to make gelato from an Italian chef in Verona! Thank you! 10/10
Great class with friendly hosts in a beautiful space. The gelato was fantastic and he gave us some great tips on how to find high quality gelato when out walking around the town ( hint it’s not the brightly colored ones on display in huge uncovered tubs)
This was such a fun experience for our whole family! We had 3 jet lagged kids (ages 5-10), two parents, and a grandmother in our group and we all had the most wonderful time! It was perfect for all of us at every age and the instructors were fantastic. We learned so much about the Italian culture, Veronese culture and history, and we laughed a lot throughout. Plus the gelato was incredibly delicious! I highly recommend this class!
What a fantastic treat for a hot day! Learning how to make gelato and sorbet was easier than I thought and so many options to flavor them. Thank you for also opening our eyes to the additional toppings to enhance the flavors (balsamic, pink pepper, salt, etc). Our chef was exceptional at the explanations and questions. Looking forward to trying these at home. Highly recommend this experience and it would be fun for a family!
Excellent class and a ton of fun. Great instructor. Something you definitely need to do while in Verona
Alessandro was a great instructor and made our gelato-making class easy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this activity.
This 2-hour ice-cream making session was a delight. Alberto met us and another family at the Teatro Ristori in Verona and we walked to the beautifully-laid out kitchen where the session took place. We had the opportunity to make different kinds of ice-cream and a sorbet, with everything laid out for us to use. Once all the ice-c reams were made, we were encouraged to taste them and to experiment with different toppings. Alberto and his assistant made us all very welcome and it was a joy to be part of this session.
Good fun time. Host was great with three young kids that were there with their family. Had lots of tastings so that was a plus as well!
Marco and Alessandro were brilliant. The class was fun, the tasting interactive and some of the best gelato we've ever had. Would 100% recommend if you're in Verona and love gelato
It was a wonderful airy space, clean, and great instructor. The gelato was delicious! And you get the recipes!
This was a fun, delicious, and enjoyable experience! We made homemade gelato, gnocchi with a mustard sauce, and raviolis with a tomato sauce with cheese and basil sauce chopping. Delicious.
We had the best time and we were amazed at how it came together.
Easy to find location. Excellent premises , cloaks facility, terrific value for money. You will not be disappointed, thank you to our wonderful host/ chef Alberto.
Excellent experience, tasty and informative. Sylvia was a great teacher and host, warm and friendly. Must do when in Verona. GRAZIE MILLE.
This was well worth our time and expense. Silvia had a personality perfectly suited for her occupation! We learned so much about making and selecting the right ingredients as well as enjoying meeting new people from all over the world. We would definitely take other classes if she were our teacher. Trying different toppings was also and unexpected treat and adventure.
The experience as a whole was great. Silvia is very attentive and the gelato is incredible. It is a great experience for kids too as it is very engaging.
We had an amazing time learning to make Gelato with Silvia. She was so informative and all the recipes were delicious. She introduced us to unique topping flavorings like oil, balsamic, mint, and so many others. We would have never thought to put olive oil on Gelato but it was fantastic. The toppings added such a unique experience. We are so glad we booked this experience!
Such a wonderful and fabulous experience. We were greeted by Sylvia precisely on time at the exact point of contact and whisked away to a stylishly appointed professional kitchen. No sooner had we arrived that we were straight into the gelato making process, which thanks to Sylvia, was very approachable and easy. She was expert in her knowledge and was considered and thoughtful in response to the million questions she was fielding. Her passion about cooking and the experience that food offers was infectious and inspired my notoriously picky wife to try some things she had never tried before in her life. This was not just about following a recipe for gelato, it was about exploring different and seemingly conflicting flavours to open up new avenues of taste. Cannot recommend highly enough and make sure to request Sylvia if you can!
We had an amazing time with Sylvia learning how to make gelato and what to use as toppings. Our 3 year old little girl got stuck in with the melting and mixing and definitely the eating!! It was a great experience, perfect for a slightly rainy afternoon in Verona. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area!
This was such a fun and unique experience. I enjoyed the small group setting, as it allowed for engagement and enabled everyone to participate in the process. I believe we made 5 different flavors as a group, and got to try a full cup of each one + a bunch of unique toppings. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. Definitely don't eat beforehand haha!
Laura and Andrea were perfect hosts and instructors. The class exceeded our expectations and we learned so much! Our favorite part was experimenting with all of the mix-ins and different flavors!
Fun, informative and delicious! Knowledge gained helped us choose the best gelato shops to sample for the rest of our trip! Highly recommend!
We were so lucky to have Chef Sylvia to ourselves as we were the only people booked. The venue has a professional feel but welcoming and informal at the same time. The event is done so well, beginning with writing your names on the aprons (which you can keep), easy to follow instructions with plenty of information and advice offered along the way. It was such a fun way to spend 2 hours and it felt very authentic. Now home with apron and recipes, I'm looking at the possibility of buying my own gelato machine.
It was a beautiful experience to make homemade gelato. I loved meeting other travelers around this wonderful world. I got to eat 5 different kinds of gelato and I helped make 3 of them. It was unique because there was so many condiments to add to the gelato that I would have never thought of (peppercorn, olive oil, balsamic vinagarette, etc.)
Great fun for our family with adults and older teenagers, very different tasting experience and more than I expected with very different flavours of toppings.
We had a nice experience with this class. It was pricey. The instructor walked us through all the steps and also explained why we used the ingredients we did. Very precise. You work in two groups, where each side prepares different flavors then they are combined and put into the machine. We made five flavors, then at the tasting, were given unusual toppings to pair, which enhanced the experience immensely. We love to discover new flavor combinations. They also went out of their way to include the small children and make them feel special. The space was modern, open, very clean.
Great experience with the family, hands on, lots of flavours to taste and we learnt lots about gelato. We can’t wait to make some of this at home.
Very fun experience making gelato! Instructors were fun and knowledgeable. We made 4 kinds of gelato and 1 sorbet. During the tasting they also provided us with different condiments to try with each flavor, we had a lot of fun experimenting! We were so full of yummy gelato at the end! I would definitely recommend if you’re in Verona!
Was a very basic class, and overpriced for what we actually did. We mixed a few things and then taste tested the ice cream with different toppings. Very basic, and child like.
We had a great time. Perfect for kids on a hot day! They loved the different flavors and toppings and they were great at including even the little one.
Multiple gelato types and flavors made this class very fun. The instructor was helpful and gave great recommendations about pairing toppings with our fresh sorbet, gelato, and yogurt.
Very good experience. A little pricey and would have preferred written recipes at the end of the class with additional information about details of ingredients, such as chocolate and cream.
Best thing we did on our trip to Verona by far. We had so much fun - kids and adults alike. Do it! You won’t regret it
Our hosts were amazing. We attended with two children a 2 yo and 7 yo. The event was engaging, and our gelato was super yummy. Verona is a beautiful city and the tour was the cherry on top. We needed a taxi and our host was kind and called one for us. We highly recommend this tour to all. Grazie! George Denise, George Lucia & Ricaurte
Lovely and fun experience for the whole family. It was really simple and fun making gelato with this class. We had a great time and tased new flavors. Who knew balsamic vinegar or peppercorns were so good with gelatto. A great activity to do if coming to Verona!
Very nice one sorbet n 4 gelatos. Leave time to walk there so I don’t have to rush n arrive 10minutes before the start time.
