The class was great! The chef was informative, confident, and was able to give helpful tips to prepare the meal. Our food was great and it’s really a fun class. Definitely worth the price. Perfect for date nights or a girls night out!
Date Night-Tapas Class

Reviewed by Melissa P. on 3/22/2018

We had a really good time. We started off with wine and cheese, and ended the evening with some more wine and really yummy food! The chef was really knowledgeable, funny, and eager to answer questions. Two of his students were also there to help, and they were great too! I'm not sure if the menu is always the same, but we made meatballs, puffed pastry stuffed with cheese, shrimp, potato frittata, and bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with roasted nuts. One of the intentions behind the class is to expose us to fairly straightforward dishes that we could make ourselves at home. One of the things you should know going in is that each couple is responsible for one dish, but you can always float around to the other stations to take notes or ask questions about the other dishes. Super fun! Was very happy to receive this as a Valentine's gift from my partner.
Date Night - Foodies in Milan

Anonymous review on 3/10/2018

It was very enjoyable. Chef made it fun and educational, discussing foods history as well as the history of the foods you’ll be preparing that class. Everyone cooked an item on a very impressive menu. We learned technique and use of proper tools. Highly recommend.

Loved the class learned a lot of new things and cooking techniques. I wish we did more cooking during the class time, we ended up spending quite a bit of time just waiting. Overall, great teacher and I’m very happy with the class.
Valentine's Day Celebration

Anonymous review on 2/11/2018

The chef was great, very personable and worked a lot of stories into the experience. The menu was amazing and the cause behind the company seems very positive. The reason for 4/5 stars is that we didn't produce enough of everything (e.g. some people didn't get steak or lobster) and the wine ran out before the end of the night. While they did add ambiance like flowers on the table, we were essentially eating in a classroom so the setting wasn't very romantic for a Valentine's Day dinner. It was also a little disorganized getting all of the utensils we needed, etc. Overall, we still enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot!

Loved Chef Diego-he made the class so much fun! My only negative would be we seemed to have waited around too much trying to figure out what needed to be done. All in all it was a great way to spend a Friday night.
Date Night Cooking

Anonymous review on 10/31/2016

It was fun and the people who attended were friendly. Chef John and his wife were nice but very disorganized. They ran out of ingredients, mentioned but did not practice their own food safety steps (not washing hands, reusing spoons to taste over peoples dishes), and it was hard to hear them so people learned different things depending on where they were in the room. I would only suggest attending with an open mind and after a few drinks. Overall - it was OK.
