I thought it was very nice and detailed when it came to explaining the climates. The various climates has an effect on how the food is grown there. Hearing that different regions grew there own pasta was interesting. Even more so the process being the same for 1000 years if I heard correctly was also cool. I felt real good eating the food which showed it was fresh ingredients. Alot better than the ingredients you get from a local super market.

This class was awesome! The chef took his time in explaining the ingredients he put into each delicious three course meal. He laughed & joked with everyone in this cooking class. Everything was well organized. All of us present also received a little history on Italy. The staff was great also. The chef didn't rush anybody out the door after we finish eat that delicious meal. This class was well worth my money & time. Amazing!

Excellent clas!

The food and demonstration were amazing!

I feel as if we were duped. The description of the event didnt fit what was actually done. I was unable to eat any of the horderves due to the pork restriction in my diet. The lines for the foods and the wine were too long so I was only able to get 1 wine tasting and my boyfriend was able to grab 1 skewer of shrimp, which was no good in my opinion. My boyfriend spent so much money on this night for me to only be disappointed in the event. We had to leave due to the amount of people squeezed into the small circle and having wine spilled on me.

Very basic class. In my opinion and many others from the class we thought it was all dough and no where near enough filling. Wasn’t happy with food.
As far as staff and teachers they were great!! Appetizers, free flowing wine and overall friendliness was 100%.

The food and cooking demonstration were, as always, superb. Then we got a very informative lesson about truffles while we were eating the truffles! I learned a lot and had a wonderful meal!
-
Great experience!

It was fascinating to learn about a region of Italy I wasn’t very familiar with, and the ambassadors were wonderful, warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to another class similar to this, I love learning about different regions of such a beautiful country. And the food, of course, was amazing as always.

Rocky Ruggiero gave us a wonderful lesson on how the saints are depicted in Italian artwork, it was fascinating and his sense of humor and energetic delivery really made the presentation out of this world. And of course, the food was amazing as always!
-
Ended too soon and the tastings were extremely limited. Ricotta toast, a small portion of pasta, and chocolate moosse was ridiculous for the cost. Plus the cookbook millennial didn’t even make anything. Her Italian colleague was great and the wine expert were very knowledgeable but she was a disappointment.

This was a lot of fun! We got to taste the fresh warm mozzarella right after the cheesemonger made it, then we all each got to make a little fresh mozzarella cheese ball if we wanted to! When the dinner/class was over, we each got our own curd to take home to make our own mozzarella. Would love to do this again!
-
It was so much fun and the food was out of this world, as always. This was my third time here and Chef Leonardo is always engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and a wonderful chef. Can’t wait to come back again!
-
Everyone at the school was so friendly, the chef was upbeat, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. We each got to make our own ball of pasta dough and take it home! The food was delicious to top it all off. One of the most fun classes I’ve taken in the city, I look forward to taking another class here!
-
Chef Leonardo and his team were AMAZING. One of the best kids/parents cooking class we have ever taken. We will 100% be taking another class. I highly recommend the class as a family - super fun 2 hours. Grazie Mille!!!
-
Impressive! Organized, structured, educational , entertaining, delicious and fun! Thank you.

It was awesome!

Great demonstration & class. The pastaio was friendly, knowledgable, and generous. We got to enjoy a pasta lunch and try making our own. Our pastaio came around, troubleshooting with us, and encouraging us. They encouraged us to take our fresh batch home -- which we did. Delicious!
-
The chef, and the Broglia wine reps were all very informative and personable. The food was very good, although I would have liked to see more of a cooking demonstration. The folks we met were very interesting - we exchanged contact info. It was a lovely evening and I learned about an Italian wine region. All in all, a very good night and if felt worth the expense.

We have taken many cooking classes and this certainly ranks among the best. The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, the balance of observation to hands-on activity to eating was ideal, and the food was delicious, with generous amounts of self-prepared dishes to take home. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have people sitting at a communal table while eating rather than individual small tables - in my experience at other cooking schools, this makes for enjoyable interaction between participants.
