Honestly, I signed up just for the tiramisu but ended up loving the whole pasta-making part. The group was a mix of couples and solo folks, and everyone got along. Our host, Thomasito, kept us laughing the whole time. I’m not much of a cook but somehow my ravioli didn’t fall apart! Pro tip: wear something you don’t mind getting messy. HIGHLY recommend.

Took my girlfriend for a surprise date and it was a hit! The chef (think her name was Carlotta?) was SO enthusiastic and patient. We got flour everywhere lol. Only downside was it felt a bit rushed when we were filling ravioli, but the end result tasted legit homemade. Would totally do it again, next time maybe bring my parents along.

Was expecting more hands-on stuff but still a solid experience. Pasta turned out pretty good and the chef explained all the steps, even for the clumsy ones like me. Only thing – the class was suuuper crowded, so didn't get as much attention as I'd hoped.
