Tasting the gelato was the best part. The instructor was satisfactory from what I could hear her say. The class took place in a small room with no enclosed walls which allowed all the noise from outside to be heard which was louder than her. There was construction going on outside the room which made not hearing her very frustrating. If they had this class in a quieter area, it would have been enjoyable.

The instruction was good. The instructor was welcoming to all questions and clarified steps when asked. What was unwelcome was the lack of structure to the classroom. The walls and ceiling were not attached which allowed a high volume of noise from a conference to filter in. So much so that even being in the first row of seats we could barely hear the instruction. The instructor did not wear a headset, but probably should have. I recommend FICO either hold the class earlier in the day so the time does not clash with conference attendees being in the same area or make the teaching room more sound proof.

It’s was not what we were expecting at all. We were in a large group and the lady spoke at us for at least 30 minutes. First in Italian and then English. Too many facts and figures. We were bored as we just wanted to make the Gelato! We had a five minute hands on activity to make a sorbet and then watched the lady make the gelato in a machine. It was good gelato but the whole thing was poor.

I admit, my expectations were high. Perhaps too high. Descriptions of FICO Eataly World make it sound like an amusement park for people who love to eat and drink (like me!) And it could be. All the components are there, but the day under-delivered in a number of key ways. First, it is just not busy enough to warrant sufficient staff to engage with and learn. I understand from one of the workers that June/July is off season for Italians, and not enough foreign tourist know about the place, so it doesn’t really get busy until September/October. As a result, the place seemed empty and a bit boring. Next, FICO hasn’t really recovered from the pandemic, and there are more than a few bare spots where former vendor/sponsors have pulled out and not returned. For example, the Modena balsamic vinegar section consists of a bunch of empty shelves and the Parmasian display was empty too. Finally, the gelato ‘course’ was thoroughly underwhelming. We whipped up a quick shrub based gelato buy hand, learned a bit about ratios for a proper for sorbet, then watched the instructor dump a premixed batch of liquid and flavor into a machine that 5 minutes later became good gelato. I still recommend that people check this place out. The concept is great and with support they can regain their footing. I wish we had done the Entrance + Tastings package, as that would have made a more complete day. Oh well… next time we’re in Bologna… we’ll be back!

Aucune activité en cours, très très décevant, on venait pour voir la fabrication des différents produits, tout est fermé. Personne pour donner des explications m. Seul point positif le cours de glace.

A fronte di un “laboratorio di gelato” molto interessante, apprezzato e stimolante oltre che ben condotto e argomentato, il parco si rivela una delusione. Le giostre sono minimali, ripetitive, le attività proposte per i ragazzi poco più che quelle che si possono trovare in qualsiasi parco giochi. Dopo solo un’ora di visita già ci si annoia tra le molte botteghe che propongono generi di varia natura a prezzi decisamente alti. La sensazione generale è stata quella di essere più in un centro commerciale che non in un parco didattico. Non vale assolutamente il costo del biglietto.
