Fantastic Class for Lasagna and Gelato - Our cooking class making lasagna and gelato with Monia was fantastic. She explained each step very well, and was happy to assist when we needed assistance or had any questions. We were only in Bologna for one day, but we would definitely take another class with her. Also, we are excited to take the recipes home to make the again.

Wonderful teacher, spoke... - Wonderful teacher, spoke good English and the location was nice in a room so it was quiet. She gave thorough details on each step. It was a lot of fun even for my husband and dad that don’t cook! The results were amazing, best lasagna I’ve ever had and really good gelato!

Birthday Treat Italian Style - Lasagne & Gelato what more can you ask for. We enjoyed the interactive aspect of the class. Making the pasta from scratch. The chef's gave us clear instructions. We enjoyed mixing with other participants from different places in the world. The kitchen with spacious and new. The finished product was delicious and we have made this at home with the recipes we were given at the end. Great experience and would highly recommend it.

Not worth the money. Disappointing - Prepared pasta dough and that’s it. The instructor did all the rest. A lot of talking and not hands on cooking. Gelato tasted like yogurt. Disappointing.
