Professional Lab Pasta Experience

What a fun food experience! Chef’s Emanuele and Angelo are great people and fantastic instructors. Our family enjoyed the night and left with the knowledge and confidence to make delicious pasta dishes on our own. Just returned home and went to the store to get the ingredients so we can make pasta tonight! In Florence I got lucky and found a kitchen store where I bought a rolling pin like we used in class. My favorite souvenir! Highly recommend to anyone from novice to advanced cooks interested in learning new techniques, eating a great meal, and having a really fun evening!

Well organized and lots of fun! And learned a lot as well. Can’t wait to make pasta when we get home!

Chef Manuel and Chef Angelo Were great and did everything that the experience will be the best they can.

Our pasta class was on the last evening we had in Rome, and considering all of the incredible experiences we’d already packed into our week, we weren’t expecting to walk away feeling as blown away as we were. We homeschool our sons (7 and 10), and travel a good bit. When we plan trips, we always like to find hands-on experiences so they’re learning about different cultures through actually participating and doing the things that particular culture/country is known for. We’ve completed cooking classes in other countries that were excellent, but our evening with Emanuele and Angelo shot straight to the top of our list of favorite experiences… maybe ever! Everyone asks what the best part of our trip was, and the boys immediately go to the pasta class as not only their favorite activity, but also their favorite meal! We’d had a private tour of the Vatican, a day-long private tour that was sort of an overview of all of Rome, the boys had done “gladiator school”, we’d eaten incredible meals, and yet the pasta making tops our list of memorable experiences. There wasn’t a dull moment- Angelo and Emanuele were so kind, so engaging, they were funny, patient, encouraging, well-organized, and perhaps the best thing to witness was the way they both exuded such a passion for sharing their culture and their tradition with all of us in the class. As a side note- I’m an interior designer. The right lighting and ambience mean a lot to me and are the first thing I notice about wherever I am. The way they’ve set the place up is so beautiful. You walk in and your eye immediately goes toward taking in these rustic brick ceilings, a gorgeous table set with fresh flowers and candles, the workspace felt well-lit, yet still warm and intimate. The setting and the music really added something extra special to the whole evening. Lastly- although we don’t have any allergies or food restrictions to accommodate ourselves, there was a woman there who was gluten-free. I was impressed with how much attention they paid to making sure they got everything right for her. I just wanted to mention that for anyone reading this who needs special accommodations. To close out this (long) review, we just want to thank Emanuele and Angelo for such a great time. We will absolutely be back for another class on our next trip to Rome. Thank you both :)

Such an amazing class! I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Rome. It was so much fun and the dinner we made was delicious! Chef Emanuele is so awesome and has the best energy! I even gifted this class to my parents for their trip!
