Make your own way to one of the most popular gelaterie in Rome for your gelato class. Situated amid the medieval houses and labyrinthine narrow streets of the city’s Trastevere neighborhood, the gelateria is a stone’s throw from the Tiber River’s picturesque banks.

Once you arrive at the family-owned gelateria, which dates back to the 1950s, begin your class with an introduction into the world of Roman gelato from the shop’s gelatai (ice cream maker) and a lesson in the importance of choosing quality ingredients. Then, don your apron, roll up your sleeves and prepare to make the base for your authentic, artisan gelato.

After you have created your base, listen as the gelatai teaches you how to use the machines, and learn about the differences between a gelateria machine and a home gelato machine. Following step-by-step instructions, marvel as your ingredients turn into mouthwatering gelato right in front of your eyes.

When your gelato is ready to be eaten ─ and you’ve successfully worked up your appetite ─ set your taste buds tingling and sample your very own creations as well as some of the gelateria’s most popular flavors. Feeling refreshed, bid a fond goodbye to your gelatai and receive some recipe cards so that you can impress your friends and family with your traditional Roman gelato back at home.
