Amber taught us how to make pasta and tiramisu, gave us tips and recipes, and helped us to create a delicious dinner. After making our pasta, our group enjoyed wine and conversation in the restaurant while our pasta was cooked and sauced. We were amazed at how much and how amazing it all was. Thank you for such a fun and memorable experience, Amber! (We have already made tiramisu after returning home and can't wait to make some ravioli!)”

Otherwise everything was great.”

Great community experience with cooking, sharing and having your own pasta with a bunch of other stuff like limoncello, traditional dessert, different wine samples.”
