Great family experience!

We had a wonderful evening experience with instructors Mateo & Victoria! They kept the class on track, were very personable, fun and engaging! There was no lag or down time - the three hours flew by and the pasta & gelato was incredible! Our family of 7 plus a baby got a large table all together to ourselves, the process was easy and smooth! Highly recommend!

Great!!

We had a wonderful time and this class was well worth the cost. It was composed of a small group of 10. We all participated in the food prep and even learned a few really helpful chopping techniques. All the food was fresh and delicious. Also enjoyed the market tour. Our chef/ guide was so helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you!
