Cook with Chef Mateo - A wonderful class with Chef Mateo. He explained everything very well. I am not a beginner but I learned some new tricks and recipes. Other guests were a “no show” so I really had a private class. The kitchen is wonderful and in a food market and restaurant hall. One thing a bit difficult to find venue. The kitchen you cook in is on the second floor, great class and great location.

Favorite part of Milan - This was my most favorite part of my trip to Milan. We had such a good time and Alfredo was the best. The food was delicious, we did the pumpkin ravioli, saffron risotto and the tiramisu. We got lucky that day and there was only one other couple with us, so we got extra special time and conversation :-)

Fun learning pasta making - It was amazing real learning tips and advice and such a nice and cozy environment worth all the money and more. The highlight of the trip in Milan.

The best thing to do in Milano! - The best thing I did in Milano. If you're there and don't know what to do I couldn't recommend this enough. Was just me and Alfredo which at first I was a little hesitant about but I had a blast. He was super kind and very funny. Plus a great chef and really knew Milanese culture and cuisine. The market tour was amazing and learned tons and afterward I had tons of questions just about Italian culture and he didn't shy away from any question I had. He's a great guy and this is an amazing experience. Plus it's in one of the nicest kitchens I've ever been in. All in all this is an amazing experience and I still think about it daily. Thank you very much Alfredo!

Highlight of Our Trip! - Class was so much fun and learned a lot of useful tips for making pasta. Teacher was very friendly and gave the right amount of instruction while allowing all students in the class to be hands on throughout the process. Highly recommend! Note for anyone taking the class, we had trouble finding where the room was located. In the train station, enter the food market. Go up the stairs within the food market and you should be able to find it. Highly recommend!

Positive experience - I consider it a wonderful experience to have. I did it with my husband. I believe it is more educational for those coming from abroad, because it focuses on typical dishes of Italian cuisine that a basic Italian knows, while for a person coming from abroad everything is new. In terms of culinary experience, preparing fresh pasta was beautiful and fun and above all it gave us lots of useful little tips. The same for risotto and tiramisu. Advise! Furthermore, the chefs were very knowledgeable and friendly.
