Pizza and Gelato | Cooking Experience in Garbatella (Draft Beer!)

About this tour

This two-and-a-half-hour session pairs hands-on cooking with flowing draft beer, turning technique into celebration. You'll leave with the skills to recreate both dishes at home and a genuine taste of how Romans cook together—relaxed, social, unrushed.

• Make gelato by hand with proper technique
• Unlimited draft beer throughout the class
• Garbatella's local, authentic cooking space

What to expect

Arrive ready to get your hands floury. You'll learn how to work pizza dough—the stretch, the toss, the confidence—before topping and baking your creation. Between rounds, you'll sip cold beer whilst chatting with fellow participants and the instructor. The final hour shifts to gelato: tempering, churning, and understanding how Italian ice cream actually differs from frozen custard. It's structured enough to teach you real skills, loose enough to feel like hanging out with people who cook well.
