Personal and educational

We were personally welcomed at Alessandro's home for the workshop. It is about twenty minutes by train from Bologna Centrale, and the journey was extra easy because Alessandro had given us all the information in advance about which train we needed to take. The day we did the workshop, there was a strike, but we were helped fantastically: instructions on which train would definitely run, the possibility to start the workshop earlier so that it better matched the train, and we were even guided to ...read more

A very good option for children and adults

We are very satisfied, Alessandro is very committed to conducting the classes. He communicates very well in English. Gelato and granita made together are very tasty and you can feel the difference with ice cream bought somewhere in the city. The most important thing is that the children were very satisfied with the workshops. As a parent, I also appreciate Alessandro's flexibility in preparing and conducting workshops and the multitude of flavors. The atmosphere of the classes was both interesti...read more

Absolutely Unmissable! The Art and Science of True Italian Gelato

If you are visiting the Bologna area, do not hesitate for a second, book this workshop immediately! My Gelato Lab is an absolute hidden gem located in Casalecchio di Reno, just a quick drive away from the city center. Alessandro is an incredible, passionate host and a master ice cream maker with over 20 years of experience. He welcomed my wife, our two daughters (a teenager and a 4-year-old), and me directly into his home kitchen, instantly making us feel like lifelong friends rather than custom...read more

Gelato class at My gelato lab

We did the gelato class with Alessandro, close to Bologna. We drove there ( but it is close to a train station). We were welcome in his appartement, directly in the kitchen were everything was ready for the lesson. My kids ( 7 and 9) loved making their granite and gelato from scratch. Everything was delicious and we even left with more gelato to eat later on. We also learned a lot about the making and the history of gelato/granite. We recommend it :)
