Don’t go there if you want a traditional experience

The experience was a deception. First of all, the group was huge (even that in the announcement it was saying small) - 24 people for a cooking class? Second, to gain time, as the group was immense, they did almost everything in the “backstage”, the only steps we interacted with was mixing the ingredients for the pasta and shaping the pasta. Third, it felt really commercial and nothing close to traditional.

Nice class with different types of pasta to make from scratch, with a dinner afterwards to taste and toast. Would recommend!

Great meal we made!

Cool place and lovely instructor. Food was delicious! The only reason I can't give 5 stars is that they didn't give us the recipes, which we all wanted! 😞

An extremely rushed and...

An extremely rushed and stressful experience. We ended up making 3 pastas and a dessert. We rushed around had a hard time hearing the instructor because how big the class was and how fast she went and just felt very rushed. Dinner turned out tasty but we never were told how to cook the pasta nor how to make the sauce. We prepared maybe 30 % of everything instead of being taught how to actually cook it. After dinner I wasn't even able to finish my dessert as it was picked up before I had an opportunity to finish it. I would recommend looking for a smaller more private cooking class if you desire to truly learn how to cook the meal and enjoy the experience.

Not worth it. Needs Major Improvements

The instructor was not well conversant in English and hence not clear at all. More than 50% of the prep work was done before and hence you do not know the whole process. There was a sense of "rushing" through the class.
