We cooked gnocchi with pesto and tomato sauces, asparagus and crème brûlée! I learned how to make gnocchi with baked potatoes and a great pesto sauce. Chef Bonicelli and Mark were great and it was a very fun experience

Gnocchi with pesto and red sauce. Phenomenal! Very enjoyable, pleasant and fun environment. I have a dairy sensitivity and they were happy to accommodate! Wonderful experience.

Chef Laura’s Neapolitan Pizza Adventure was a fantastic experience. We loved learning how to properly create and handle the dough, the importance of restraint with toppings, and watching the pizzas beautifully brown and bubble in the Ooni oven. The kitchen was perfectly set up for our small group of six, the food was delicious, and the warmth of Chef Laura and her husband’s home was truly the icing on the cake. My partner and I are already looking forward to taking more of her classes in the future.

We learned Italian cooking. We made pasta from scratch, then crepes for desert. It was a lot of fun and delicious food. Chef Bonicelli was very knowledgeable and a great educator.
