Absolutely Fantastic!!!
Absolutely Fantastic!!! We enjoyed our gelato and sorbetto class with G. so much, that we signed up for a pasta and sauces class the following evening. Terrific chef, food, and recipes!!! Grazie Mille!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed both classes and decided to come back for another experience. It was a pleasure having you with us. Grazie mille, and we hope to see you again!

The gentlemen were lovely! We adored this experience and would like to go back for further lessons in pasta making and pizza making!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the experience and can't wait to welcome you back for more pasta and pizza-making fun. See you again soon!

Not to be missed in Florence.
Our favorites in Italy. The experiences with Fabrizio were fun and totally memorable. My Daughter loves making desserts, so it was an ideal class, not only do you try gelato, but you understand the process to prepare it. In addition, the attention was mainly in Spanish, even closer and more enjoyable, is an indispensable experience in Florence.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por sus lindas palabras! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron la experiencia con Fabrizio y que su hija se divirtió preparando los postres. Fue un placer recibirlos y hacer la clase aún más especial en español. ¡Esperamos verlos nuevamente muy pronto en Florencia! 😊

The ice cream class you will definitely want to attend in Florence
This class was fun and engaging. The cook was great at teaching us how to make gelato and ice cream.. The small group atmosphere gave us the opportunity to have a really hands-on experience. Bellissimo.!
Response from the operator: Dear Jensen, Thank you so much for your kind feedback! It’s very important for us to receive this kind of review — it motivates us to keep improving and sharing our passion. We’re really glad you enjoyed the class and the hands-on experience. Grazie mille and… arrivederci! Best regards, In Tavola Team

A fun activity for all ages
A fun hands on experience for all ages to learn how to make sorbet and gelato. I couldn’t believe how delicious the sorbet tasted. Our instructor made sure we understood the ingredients & why they were used.
Response from the operator: Dear Jacinda, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are so happy to heare from you. We hope see you soon.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Real Italian Artisan Gelato: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does The Real Italian Artisan Gelato cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Real Italian Artisan Gelato take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is The Real Italian Artisan Gelato worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Real Italian Artisan Gelato?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Real Italian Artisan Gelato suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Real Italian Artisan Gelato?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Real Italian Artisan Gelato start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
