About
Toffini Academy is ranked in the top 10 Cooking School in Italy but it is the only one totally dedicated to non-professional food lovers. That's why you will not learn in the kitchen of a restaurant or a Pizzeria but in a special domestic kitchen where you will have your own place and tools to maximize the experience, because our promise is that you will be able to do it at home!

    How to cook pizza in a pan May 2022
    Great class!! My husband loves pizza and was ecstatic to learn how to cook pizza in a pan. We also learned to how make calzone and small bit sized pizza called montanara. We were each assigned a spot around the kitchen counter for the hands-on class. Luigi, our instructor, was entertaining yet gave us excellent instructions as we listened, observed and followed his instructions. We sampled the delicious food we cooked. There were six students and all agreed the food was molto buono. Highly recommend this cooking class to learn how to make/cook pizza the Napolitan way without wood burning over. Class was FUN!

    That's a pizza
    Excellent class, very professional, immaculate facilities, and within two hours the take away gives you plenty of knowledge and confidence to make your own pizzas at home. Chef Luigi was great as was the rest of the staff. I highly recommend class no matter what your cooking level or experience.

    Great experience
    Had a great time in this class. Small class size was superb and kitchen facilities were good. Chef Luigi was friendly, fun, helpful, patient, informative and spoke great English. Learnt how to make the dough and then made two types of pizzas, both really tasty and realistically possible to recreate at home which was the point of the class. Really enjoyed it. Thank you Toffini Academy and Chef Luigi!

I booked a pizza class for my husband and I in July. we paid an excessive price. the lesson was with more people than we thought. we couldn't hear everything the teacher was saying. we had bad communication before class, asking for details that we were not given. We thought we could enjoy more information about the dough, the tomato, the yeast. unfortunately for the money we spent we were totally disappointed

Antony, we read with great regret your review because it is the only negative and that it tells something untrue. Our pizza class is always loved by those who test it. In the course room of the largest cooking school in the center of Naples, enthusiasts and professionals meet every day who want to discover new techniques and notions on cooking. The pizza course offers participants an individual workstation equipped with equipment, tools and ingredients necessary for the realization of the recipes provided. It starts from the historical notes on the birth of pizza, details on the ingredients used and how to choose and prefer them, preparation of the pizza dough and then the creation and tasting of two pizzas: the classic pizza margherita and the stuffed fried pizza. At the end of the lesson, chef Luigi also prepares a third pizza for everyone, the montanara, which is traditionally used in Neapolitan aperitifs. Before leaving, a pantry is then released with the recipes complete with doses, procedures and ingredients to be able to repeat the pizza even at home, thus bringing a bit of Naples to the whole world through its iconic flavors. What were his expectations? We are sorry that our professionalism was not enough for you, but we appreciate that we wanted to take a few minutes to write a review, albeit not repulsive to the reality of the facts.

Amazing experience
Jul 2023 • Couples
Wow! This was was a fabulous experience which I did with my partner and mother in law. We got to make 3 types of pizza (got given the recipes after, which we will definitely do at home)in an air con room with an experience chef who knew exactly what he was doing, checked on everyone and chatted happily. Make sure your hungry when you go so you can eat everything. As soon as we arrived we were given water and throughout the two hours had water too. I cannot fault this experience and would recommend everyone to do it. The pasta making course and evening course I would have loved to do as well but we only had three days. They even phoned a taxi for us for when we were finished. The pizza was the. Eat we ate in our twelve days in Italy.

Amazing experience - highlight of the holiday
Jun 2022 • Couples
We ended up having a private class with Luigi and it was amazing! So much fun and some of the best pizza we had on holiday. Luigi was great at explaining the process and the history. The first pizza we made was one of the best I’d ever had and the tomato sauce was amazing. We really enjoyed the fried pizzas too! It was one of the highlights of our holiday! Would recommend to all! Now just need to recreate the pizzas at home!

We had a lovely time here! Luigi was very patient and informative, he checked all of our pizzas as we were making them and the recipes were ones we could make at home. Really clear and easy, and it was delicious to eat the pizzas as we go. It took 2 hours in all with some coffee afterwards.

Superb pizza lesson and they tasted great too!
We reviewed lots of pizza making places and found this absolute gem! It is easy to find and relatively central to Naples. Greeted and introduced to the history of pizza by Alberto, it was fun and interesting. Then we went into the class with Luigi. Really good class where Luigi had lots of enthusiasm and love for all things Italian! He showed us how to make 3 different kinds of pizza, all of which we could do at home, no pizza oven needed! All members of the class had an individual cooking station and it taught you authentic Italian cooking. Really enjoyed it and we were absolutely stuffed - so much food!! And you can buy some lovely accompanying wine at very good price!! Definitely recommend to any tourist. Thankyou ☺️

Great option for team building activities!

I booked Toffini Cooking class for the team (10 people) in order to delight them with Italian's flavour and a top-known "stereotype" for foreigners. We spent a great evening, very well organized and full of joy and happiness. Apero before cooking class and sweets+ limoncello to complete the menu, a great touch. Purchased white wines have been appreciated by the whole team.
Many thanks to Toffini Accademy who made this evening a very special one, thanks also to the Chef who taught interesting cooking tricks. I would definitely book a cooking class again if we pass by the beatiful Naples.

A Great Experience for Pizza Lovers
I’ve been making pizza at home for years, getting close to making a traditional Neopolitan pizza but never getting it perfect. As a present my wife signed us up for this class and it was great. The class is informative and enjoyable. Alberto and the staff are great. We had a good time and learned alot. Alberto also shared his love of the regional ingredients and cuisine. I highly recommend this class.

Me and my husband had such a fun class with Alberto and Chef... We created yum Pizzas but the best part was the experience and chats overall... They are very passionate about what they do, the ingredients they use is top notch ,and that's why it was such a great learning experience. Do the class you won't regret it.

Two couples had a great time making and eating fresh pasta and clams then swordfish steaks with mint and basil. Sfogliatelle frolle and ricce for dessert. The chef and her husband, who speaks
English well, were fun and informative, helpings us make a great meal and also teaching us some new tricks in the kitchen. Wine and water accompanied the cooking and eating. A great experience.

Nov 2022 • Couples
Ran away from there before half of the lesson finished, extremly disappointed, I've booked for lesson with translator, the chef was not nice at all, the translator didn't finish to talk he already started to explain and talk while she talked, he didn't wait, he talked for 15 minuets than let the translator to talk for like 3 minutes I asked her why she explain so short she said it's a summary, but it was clear that important information was missed it's clear that our exprience was not the same as the other italian speakers will defenetly not recommend to an non italian speakers to take courses in this academy!!! not professional!! very rude people!!!! also they used a canned cooked tomato sauce, aren't we in cooking lesson?
