The class was great and not only did we make our own pizza’s we got to eat them and dine in the restaurant. We were given a glass of Prosecco on arrival, also provided a glass of wine with our pizza, followed by tomato bruschetta and a limoncello. The service was lovely and we really enjoyed it.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-08
