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.”

“This class was a lot of fun. We go to make three different pastas an our choice of gelato all from top quality ingredients and taught from our amazing instructors Matt, Gloria & Carmella. Their staff worked very hard to also ensure folks had help and we could all finish as a group. The only critique would be that I wish the tour/class organizer would have made better mention of the cancellation policy for folks that are feeling ill in advance of the class. There were multiple families with kids in tow that were coughing, sniffling, or had to sit out for a portion due to not feeling well. Cooking…”
