From there, settle into comforting, simple but tantalizing cheese and pepper pasta with spaghetti, Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses alongside black pepper, followed by an earthy tomato sauce with braised Italian sausage and juicy meatballs. Your meal ends with a cozy finish of bold espresso and Italian cookies. Reserve your private chef today and bring a bit of Italian finesse to your table.

This was a blast! We had so much fun learning and laughing with Chef Aaron - I had never made pasta and it actually turned out! He gave us lots of tips and tricks and the recipes he shared with us were so good. He shared stories of making pasta with his grandmother and I can’t wait to share what I learned with my granddaughter! We would definitely take a class with him again.
We had the most fantastic time at the pasta quartet. The pasta varieties were perfect. This experience exceeded our expectations! Chef Aaron was knowledgable, fun, engaging, and the food was outstanding. The other people in our class were really fun too, which was an unexpected surprise. I’ve already recommended this to several people. We had a blast!
Family of 4 for the pasta class was great! The entire family enjoyed the experience Chef Aaron was absolutely perfect the entire time. The finishing touches he executed on the pasta made in the class was outstanding!
Will definitely be back!!
We made 4 pastas with Aaron- he planned it out really well so that we took 2 pasta types with us to freeze at home and use later, and we ate the other 2 at the end of our class. The class was well organized and we learned a lot!
My husband and I did Chef Aaron's Pasta Quartet class. It was a lot of fun and Chef Aaron made learning each step so easy!! Loved how relaxed the class was and all the tips he was able to share with us. We'll be looking for more classes to try soon!!!
The group learned how to make pasta from scratch, turning the dough into 4 different types of pasta. tagliatelle, orecchiette, cavatelli and stuffed ravioli. This has been the best experience and delicious pasta I've ever had. Worth the wait to taste the pasta you made with your own hands. 5 stars, would love to comeback. And will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Chef was very professional and talented. He taught how to make pasta and shared amazing priceless recipes, in particular, the most amazing red sauce I’ve had in my life. We will definitely be back to learn more tips and tricks for an amazing cooking experience.
We had a great time making pasta with Chef Aaron. Learned lots of tips and the food was delicious. He had an easygoing personality and a ton of knowledge—perfect for people of all cooking abilities!
Chef Aaron came to our home for a French cooking class. His patient way of teaching and the amazing food was a perfect way to celebrate a family birthday! He spent extra time with us, and ensured that each person felt confident with the skills. We would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Chef Aaron was professional, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. The food was well-prepared, thoughtfully presented, and executed with clear attention to detail. His calm, friendly approach helped create an enjoyable and comfortable atmosphere from start to finish!
Our night with Chef Aaron was fantastic. From the start he made us feel welcome and comfortable in his kitchen. It was the perfect setting for a couple wanting date night or a group looking for a fun event.
He lead us through cooking 4 different types of pasta, and his love, knowledge and experience of cooking was felt throughout. His experience and stories of learning to cook with his Nonna and family in Italy were our favorite part. We will absolutely be booking him again and are looking forward to all the different menu options he offers.
Chef Aaron's experience spans his nonna's kitchen to collaborations with Michelin-starred chefs, of the likes of Thomas Keller, Daniel Humm and many more. His all-consuming passion for hospitality and professional expertise is evident in both his cooking classes and home dining experiences. You can come to him or he can come to you - either way, brace yourself for an unforgettable experience.
