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 creamy. Two shops in Lucca and the academy where the class is taught. They also have a shop in Dubai, which speaks to th...read more

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 😂

Wonderful experience, so fun!

Amazing experience with Giulia. We made apricot and pistachio gelato from scratch and tried a ton of other flavors. It was delicious and so much fun! Highly recommend to any type of group, including with children. It was fantastic!

Gelato Making/Tasting Experience

Giulia was amazing! This family-run experience was one of the highlights of our trip. Our class was just me and my friend, so it felt very personal and hands-on. We made two gelato flavors ourselves, sampled those along with several others, and learned the difference between true artisanal gelato and mass-produced versions. 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

Delicious and fun!

It was an amazing experience! Julia did a great job teaching us all about gelato and the difference between the real gelato they make and the fake stuff sold most places. Lots of hands-on experience for our 11 yr old. He loved it!! We also got to meet her dad (the owner) & hear his story and watch him work with the yeast for the Easter breads they make. An absolute joy! It is a long walk from city center & not all side walks. I recommend a cab if you have kids.
