Just book the class! You’re welcome 😉
My wife found this hidden jewel of an artisan, hands on gelato making class in Lucca. We had so much fun and learned a LOT. The reward at the end was our own world class gelato. AND WE GOT TO SAMPLE AS MANY FLAVORS AS WE WANTED! Guilia is a trained culinary school chef and the sweetest person. We highly recommend her class and their artisan gelato. All natural ingredients.

So fun and we learned a lot
This was such an unexpected joy. Guilia was our teacher and is culinary trained and we learned a lot and had so much fun. And hey at the end we got to taste the world’s best gelato! It’s so good they have two shops in Lucca and one in DUBAI! Highly recommend the class. Ya’ can’t drink wine all day 😂

The tasting alone was incredible — we got to try about 6–7 delicious flavors. The class takes place in their actual gelato lab rather than one of the storefronts. It’s locat...read more
