As a founding member of Santa Monica-based gelato shop, Chef Simone has spent time abroad to learn the secrets of making the signature Italian dessert. He only works with the highest-quality ingredients to create his flavors, using fresh milk, cream and fruits to extract the richest, most flavorful qualities of each. He believes that gelato should leave a lasting impression not just on the senses, but emotions, and should excite the palate through the experience of discovering new tastes.

I surprised my girlfriend with this package for Valentine's Day. Chef Simone was awesome! He was extremely knowledgable and informative, and made the entire process that much more fun. The best part was getting to taste our creations, and then take all 16 pints home to share with our family and friends. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone whose looking for a unique date idea, or just if your a connoisseur of all things decadent. To top things off, all of the ingredients are high quality and it shows in the end result, this was the best gelato we've ever had!

This was SOOOO fun. My husband and I love gelato and I gave this class to him as a birthday gift. Chef Simone is awesome. He is a native of Florence, Italy - super legit. We made gelato from the freshest ingredients and had a blast talking with Simone about Italy. The gelato was crazy delicious as well. Since you leave with 7 pints of gelato, we had a total of 14 pints, plenty to share :) I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to give a gift or go on a fun date night! Thanks Simone!
