Florence Pasta Making cooking class with Gelato

The Florence pasta making and gelato class by Florencetown is a hands-on culinary experience covering two beloved pillars of Italian cuisine. You'll learn to make fresh handmade pasta from scratch — from kneading the dough to cutting and shaping different pasta types — guided by a professional Italian chef. You'll then discover the art of making authentic Italian gelato, learning the techniques behind the creamy texture and intense flavors. The class ends with a shared meal where you enjoy everything you've made, paired with Italian wine or soft drinks. It's one of the most popular cooking classes in Florence.

The pasta and gelato cooking class in Florence typically lasts around 3 to 3.5 hours. This includes hands-on preparation time, the guided tasting session, and the shared meal. It's a comfortable and enjoyable duration that works well as a morning or afternoon activity, leaving plenty of time for other Florence Italy sightseeing. The class is conducted in English and is open to participants of all skill levels.

Yes! Learning to make authentic Italian gelato is a core part of this Florence cooking class. Your chef will walk you through the differences between gelato and regular ice cream, the role of key ingredients, and the churning and temperature techniques that create gelato's characteristic dense, creamy consistency. You'll try your hand at making one or more classic gelato flavors — and of course taste the results. It's a fun and delicious skill to take home from your Florence Italy trip.
