“Mimi was wonderful! In the days prior to the pasta making class, we did a wine tasting experience and a walking food tour — both were good, but our time with Mimi making pasta and tiramisu was most enjoyable. The space was perfect, the experience was interactive and engaging, and entertaining. We even learned a few things - culinary and cultural - and got to eat our work. Of the experiences we’ve had, I’d recommend this one.Thank you, Mimi.”
