5.00Who knew making pasta would be so easy. We didn't actually get to make Gelato or any of the sauces. We had a wonderful evening nonetheless.

5.00This class was amazing. Probably the most fun excursion I've ever done (and I've done many, many tours and excursions)! The instructors were engaging, entertaining, informative, kind and patient. Together we made tagliatelle with pesto sauce and ravioli with tomato sauce, as well as a rich, decadent chocolate gelato! If you have the chance to take this class, you will not regret it!
So fun!

5.00It was very interactive and informative! We learned about the different types of pasta and gelato. The class was about 3 1/2 hours long but it flew by! 100% would do this again!!

5.00Wonderful cooking class. Lisa did a phenomenal job teaching 2 types of pastas, 2 types of sauces, and gelato in a fun and engaging manner. She had everyone laughing throughout the evening and better yet, we created a meal that was one of the most delicious ones on our trip thus far. She even provided fantastic recommendations for local gelato spots. I’ve tried half of them and they have been some of the best ones (and I’ve eaten a lot of gelato on this trip). Highly recommend!
