      Perfect pizza class! Highly recommend
      We had a great time with Franscesco as our teacher to make a great Italian style Pizza. He is a very likeable guy, and gives great explanations and instructions on how to make the pizza. Afterwards you get an online version of the recipe on how to make the pizza. Would definitely recommend!!!

      Must-Do in Padova for Pizza Lovers and Everyone 🥰🍕💞
      Wow, my family and I enjoyed our experience making pizza with Chef Francesco so so much!! My girls ages 11 and 13 (loves to bake) and my mom who is over 70 (experience making Chinese food) and I (no cooking experience and no competence in cooking) made the most delicious pizzas under Chef Francesco’s guidance! From the dough to the tomato sauce to the toppings, all ingredients were fresh and healthy and the experience was so much fun. I would recommend this for anyone visiting Padova as it is truly an unmissable and unique experience!! I would also recommend for anyone who is directionally challenged (as we are) to navigate to the address specified in your confirmation (our class was held at Chef Francesco’s Pinsa Pizzeria), not simply to Google Italian Food Lab (which takes you to another location). Bravo to Chef Francesco and his incredible creativity and wonderful way of welcoming everyone into his kitchen!

      Lots of laughter, very fun host
      Francesco was very friendly, his English is excellent (he lived in London for some time), the class was very fun with lots of laughter. It was actually just us (couple) and him. He was very generous with Prosecco and we learnt how to make the perfect lasagna. Thank you Francesco.

      A fun experience!
      Francesco was a great teacher. He demonstrated the techniques slowly and clearly and then helped us put it into practice. We had a fun time and the pizzas were delicious!

      Great Class
      This pizza cooking class was excellent. Francesco is very friendly and knowledgeable. He makes the class fun with his sense of humor. There were six of us in the class, and we all enjoyed it. We didn't want to leave. I would recommend this class for anyone.

      Super fun and tasty activity
      We had an amazing time learning to prepare pizza with Francesco! He showed us exactly how to replicate it at home and we did every step ourselves. Excited and confident to make my own pizza at home soon. We are our own pizzas and got an extra margarita as well. Brought our baby along and Francesco occupied him when we were busy kneading the dough. Would 100% recommend

    This was an AMAZING experience! MUST DO experience in the Veneto region of Italy. Francesco is so knowledgeable, a great teacher, and a wonderful host. My husband and I did that class together— we have different experience levels with making fresh pasta. I make fresh pasta quite frequently and my husband does not. Neither of us have ever made gnocchi. We both learned a lot and made delicious gnocchi with white sauce. This class is great for all experience levels. Francesco walked us through every step of preparing the fresh dough, shaping the gnocchi, and making a delicious white sauce. The class is very hands on and you will do all of the work so when you go home you are confident you can make gnocchi on your own. Francesco served us Italian wine with our lunch. The location is very picturesque right in downtown padova. We had lots of leftover gnocchi to take home for dinner. We will definitely be doing more classes with Francesco. I highly recommend this class.

    This was truly an exceptional experience. The knowledge and technique Francesco shared took cooking to a higher level of understanding. He explained everything clearly and was a joy to be in the kitchen with. He enjoys getting to know people and conversation was quite pleasant. I have to say, other than getting to eat the final product, my favorite part of the class was explaining the ingredients chemistry. It helped make sense why things react the way they do. I would recommend any of his classes. His knowledge and expertise is not arrogant but humble and polite. The location is in the heart of all the action and was very easy to find.

    Chef was friendly and on top of things. Showed us step-by-step technique for making proper Venetian gnocchi, which we intend to replicate. Shared food from other couple who were making lasagne. Had plenty left over for a dinner a few days later.

    Chef Francisco is highly motivated and well versed in his craft.
    He has an easy going yet no nonsense approach with an excellent comprehension
    of English.
    His explanations of Italian food regulatory controls and standards were both
    nuanced and well presented.
    I certainly learned a significant amount in just two hours.
    Now, I can make gnocchi almost as good as my mother made.
