So, is the Florence pizza and gelato cooking class worth it?
So, is the Florence pizza and gelato cooking class worth it? For a three-hour, hands-on session where you make both pizza and gelato with an English-speaking chef and then eat what you cooked as lunch or dinner with water and wine or soft drinks — plus an attendance certificate — yes, and with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure it's low-risk to lock in a date. It's less of a fit if you want a private group, a full sit-down restaurant meal, or step-free access.
