Learn to Make Authentic Italian Gelato: A Sweet & Kid Friendly Escape in Rome

Julia was an amazing instructor. She was patient, friendly and kept my kids involved throughout the class. We would return based on that experience alone. We will be looking for her to debut on the big screen soon. 😉 Verde Pistachio spares no expense on the freshest all natural ingredients making it the number one place to learn your gelato skills. We give it a 10 out of 10.

We really enjoyed our gelato making class in Rome! Our instructor was great, and instructions were easy to understand. Looking forward to shop, this app at home. The best part was we got to try out whatever flavor of gelato we wanted in the shop, and all were delicious!!

Our host was informative, relaxed and fun. We had a great time learning about and making gelato. And the best part, we got to make 3 flavors and ate lots of gelato plus we got to try other flavors.

Gio met us in front of the shop right as we arrived and invited us into the kitchen. There were six people total, our family plus another gelato enthusiast from Australia. And there was just enough room for us to stand across the counter from him while he taught the class and invited us to participate. He talked us through the steps of making gelato and let the kids and even adults take turns adding ingredients and whisking. He is charming, funny and passionate about 100% natural gelato with no fillers. Just milk, cream, sugar, chocolate. Then we got to add our own melted chocolate to our bowls of straciatella gelato and finally at the end of class which runs about an hour, we got to taste all the other flavors in this adorable shop. My son said the basil pineapple flavor was “life changing.” Gio even delayed opening by ten minutes to give us a gelato tasting. An awesome experience for our whole family. Especially for kids. And verde pistacchio is our new favorite gelato shop in Rome.

We had a lot of fun, learned a lot and had much to sample! Looking forward to going home and making our own pistachio!
