Tour Description
Passionate about pizza? Joyous at the thought of gelato? Then don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Perfect for kids and adults alike, beginners and veterans, this private class is designed for anyone with a passion for delicious food, having fun, and learning something new.
Under the expert guidance of our seasoned English-speaking chef, you’ll perfect the art of Italian cuisine at one of our two cooking schools: one around the corner from Piazza Navona; the other a stone’s throw from the Pantheon. So if pomodoro sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella di bufala melting over hand-rolled dough sounds right up your street, you’ve come to the right place.
After a prosecco and snacks reception, you’ll craft your own gelato
Upon arriving to make your edible masterpieces, you’ll be greeted with such specialties as Calabrian chilli sauce spread over bruschetta, melon wrapped in “Prosciutto di Parma”, or delicious supplì stuffed with rice and ragù – all naturally complemented with a healthy helping of prosecco.
After this, you’ll start off by creating your own traditional Italian gelato. Your private chef will guide you through every step from mixing the ingredients, choosing your timings, and selecting from a variety of delicious flavors including fresh fruits of the season, rich roasted hazelnuts, Perugian dark chocolate, and deep-green pistachios.
Perfect the art of pizza-making while your gelato cools off
This second part of the class teaches you to become a proper Italian pizzaiolo. Under the expert guidance of your own private chef, you’ll be crafting and rolling out your own dough and garnishing it with a generous helping of delicious toppings.
From flowering Roman zucchini, spicy salami, Sicilian peppers, farm-fresh mushrooms, and sweet red onions from Tropea, choose anything you want for your creation. Once all the hard work’s done, pop your pizza in the oven and leave it to cook for just a few minutes.
Linger over dinner as you indulge on your creations
At the end of the class, wind down by pouring yourself some wine, beer, or soft drinks, and taking a seat at the table. Here your private chef will serve you your delicious creations of pizza Romana and dreamy gelato.
Linger over dinner as you dine your way through your authentic Italian meal. After your meal, we’ll give you all the recipes so you can keep making them at home and impress your friends and family.
