Not worth the money. Disappointing

Prepared pasta dough and that’s it. The instructor did all the rest. A lot of talking and not hands on cooking. Gelato tasted like yogurt. Disappointing.

Outstanding Dinner Experience!

This was an excellent evening and an even better meal! La Soffritta is a comfortable spot to learn more of what makes Bologna special.

Enjoyable Lesson in Technique and Rationale

A wonderful cooking lesson to learn not only technique but the reasons why certain techniques are important. Very enjoyable, hands on and valuable!
