The best course I’ve ever taken in my life was at Mixology Academy. From the registration process to the training itself, everything was simply perfect. A calm environment, fully equipped tools, English-taught lessons, exceptional staff, and expert instructors — all these made the experience truly priceless. I’m so happy to have been part of this flawless and inspiring family, learning alongside such a professional team. Huge thanks to the lovely Chiara, the beautiful and amazing Lucia, and the talented Daniel and Adriano ❤️

I'm very satisfied with the results. After joining this wonderful academy, I was able to quickly learn things I thought I couldn't do. With the guidance of my tutor Chiara and the incredible skill and professionalism of my trainers, all excellent, I managed to become proficient in a very short time. Now I feel motivated to continue my education and become a global bartender.

Enrolling at Mixology Academy was the wisest choice of my life. If I could do it all over again, I'd do it all the same. Exactly one year after I first stepped foot in that door, I can say without a doubt that I have only happy memories. It's a fantastic environment that has allowed me to improve professionally beyond my wildest dreams. It's boosted my confidence, constantly challenging me, and fueling my desire to learn more about this world. From a human perspective, I don't think there's anything better in the world. I've increasingly felt part of a family, a family I'll miss dearly, from the first to the last member. Thank you for everything. You'll always be in my heart.

A truly positive experience!!! It's a shame we can't go above 5 stars. This academy not only guides you to the most suitable path, but also supports you step by step throughout the course. I had a great experience on a professional, managerial, and personal level. I immediately felt at home and never under pressure. For this, I thank my tutor, Giorgia; the secretary (Martina), who was omnipresent and always available; and my coach, Giovanni. He is a fantastic person, professional, and patient. This academy is made up of people—people who recognize the importance of empathy and familiarity. After a day/week of work and stress, you gladly go to the academy because, in addition to learning, you already know that sincere smiles and wonderful people await you. Thank you all!!!

Truly fantastic facility and teachers. I took the course at this facility about a year and a half ago, and I'll be back soon (as soon as I find the time). There's nothing to criticize or reproach, they supported me and taught me everything excellently. Not to mention the advice and suggestions... I managed to get a final grade of 100, but it wasn't a freebie. Professionalism also lies in this... Receiving the grade you deserve, without giving anything away to anyone... as it should be... You are too good... Congratulations again on the facility and THANK YOU for everything... See you soon Pavel 😉

Mixology is a perfect choice for people who wants to learn professional bartender course. The trainers and staff are all extremely friendly here. The school also offers course for English speakers, which is very helpful and understandable. You will share the same practice room with your peer so you can also learn and help each other. Special thanks to Leonardo and Martina for many help they offer 🙂

A journey with so many wonderful memories has come to an end. It's a place full of young people bursting with energy and knowledge, who pass it on to their students every day. An academy worthy of its name, and I believe it's currently one of the few in Italy to offer comprehensive training at this level. If you enter with doubts at the beginning of the journey, you'll definitely leave with certainties at the end. They got me back into the game and instilled in me a love for this profession that was slowly fading. I highly recommend everyone to rush here if they need training. The facility is well organized, and the staff (from trainers to tutors and the administration) is highly trained and extremely kind.

Agatha 🇪🇸 Bartender (Verified Student✅)

I'm really satisfied with the program and the quality of the process and teaching style: friendly, professional, dynamic. Everyone was patient with me and the fact I don't speak Italian wasn't a problem at all.

Sven 🇸🇪 Bartender (Verified Student✅)

During the research for a "Barista Course", I came across MIXOLOGY Academy and found it to be the most comprehensive course offered, if not the only one available. Doing the course was relaxing and made it possible to let the knowledge learned in the morning, sink in the afternoon while enjoying Rome.

Nevena 🇷🇸 Barista (Verified Student✅)

I came to Italy to learn everything about coffee. I had very good theachers... and they told me everything I need to know about coffee!

Thomas (Hawaii) Bartender (Verified Student✅)

I traveled 20 hours from Hawaii just to take this course... the reason why I came here is to come to MIXOLOGY, to the source, to learn how to learn coffee & latte art... and also since I am here to learn all the different cocktails and marketing techniques.

Hector 🇲🇽 Bartender (Verified Student✅)

Todo Excelente, trato personal de primera calidad, profesores profesionales e istalaciones optimas! Recomiendo 100%

Zacharia 🇳🇬 Bartender (Verified Student✅)

The MIXOLOGY Academy is the best school. I have come across in Italy to join. The secretaries, trainer and staff are so kind and very respectful. The school has lots of accomodities to offer in therms of professional Bartender and Coffee Barista. My lessons was so good because the teacher was so friendly and when I could not understand anything I was free to ask and I was shown whatever I made mistake.

Ernesto 🇲🇽 Bartender (Verified Student✅)

Fue una magnifica experencia ya que he aprendido tanto como es esta arte de ser barman; y el tiempo que he estado haciendo el curso me he sentido muy a gusto. El grupo de profesores cuentan un gran carisma y gran conocimiento de la materia y se transmiten muy bien a los alumnos. Fue una experiencia indimenticable y nunca me voy a olvidar.
