Educational experience - Very clear explanation, in good English EN and plenty of room for questions. Learned a lot about pasta mak EN but also about pasta sauce and DE preparation times. DE pasta we had EN made ourselves we were allowed to eat ourselves and was delicious! Our kids of 12 EN 15 also liked EN t very much to do and could follow it well. They had only just started on DE new (cool!) so DE needed a bit more time at DE start (so 15 minutes present before became 15 + 15 minutes run out but this time was just pasted to the total time duration.

hard to find but worthwhile - Difficult location to find. My apple map could not show location and we were in the wrong area. Finally got near where they were, and a nice lady came out to find us and brought us to the class. The chef was friendly and efficient We enjoyed the session

Ana Maria is Great! - The instructions Ana Marie gave us were very helpful in knowing how to get the right consistency with the pasta, what it should look like, and feel like, and how to shape the orecchiette. The sauce was delicious and we laughed and talked as if we were not just visitors, but neighbors. Wine, home made pasta, laughter, in a two hour experience— and you eat the meal— what’s not to like?

Pasta making - What a fun way to spend a couple of hours! Good company, interesting explanations and instructions and a new skill learnt in a very relaxed way. Then sampling what we had made plus local wine. What’s not to like! A very likeable and knowledgeable teacher. Thank you. Would definitely recommend.
