Chef John was awesome! The class was very informative and enjoyable. The most memorable part of this experience would have to be the people we had the pleasure of meeting and chef John’s amazing personality!

Great atmosphere and...

Stacey_I, Sept 2023

Great atmosphere and food! Wish we had a little more hands on in cooking the food but overall great time! Chef John was very entertaining and informative.

Fun times cooking

Went with my niece while visiting Boston. We had a small group so the interaction among all was easy. We learned a lot, made some great food and laughed a ton. Super time & I highly recommend. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable and memorable evening.

Thank you

Chef John was amazing. He did an excellent job explaining the process of cooking. Chef John also shared many knowledgeable food facts. Chef John made it fun and has a great personality. I highly recommend anyone to try his class.

The chef was a walking culinary encyclopedia! The food, music, and energy was so fun!! We enjoyed making a family memory. This family from Wisconsin gives this experience a 10/10!

Italian cooking class a must!

Cheryl_G, July 2023

Great Father’s Day Experience

Brittany_H, July 2023

I took my father for Father’s Day and we had a blast! Chef Gary and Valentino were engaging, personable, and knowledgeable. The food was magnificent and the class was a perfect balance of activity and socializing.

A Great Experience...

Cathy_M, June 2023

This was a terrific experience! We were one-hour late (due to a flight delay) and the team was so accommodating to get us started and caught up. We were with our two grandkids (9 & 12) - and they LOVED it. Great experience and we would book it again. (The only downside: I sent them a message about our flight delay via the Viator app and never received a response; it all worked out ok, but I did the same thing with other bookings and I received a prompt reply from all of them. So my only suggestion is for this company to respond to communications vs. not responding at all.)

Excellent experience

Michael_K, June 2023

Great fun for all Chef John was extremely engaging and informative. Loved his teaching style. Sous Chef was quite personable and helpful. Good food !

Spectacular Night Out

Jamie_B, May 2023

Intimate enough for a date night, casual enough for a novice cook. Staff was concise, friendly and interactive. Would love to have a place like this back home in Florida.

Amazing experience! Chef...

Janneka_W, Apr 2023

Amazing experience! Chef was awesome! Food was delicious and had a little music to keep us entertained!

Best Experience I’ve had with Viator

Jacqueline_C, Apr 2023

When we arrived, Chef said we’d all leave feeling like family. It was sooo true. My daughter and I met the nicest & most vibrant couple in Boston. The whole experience was so sweet and although I first thought there was too many people, the making of the pasta with total strangers was quite intimate. Who knew.

A Yummy Afternoon!!

Lindsay_C, Jan 2023

My mom and I had such a fun time at this class. The teachers were entertaining and enthusiastic about what they were helping us learn to create. Starting off we were able to all make individual tiramisus and then stretch and create our own mozzarella balls (something I probably will never do at home!!!) and from there we were able to work in two pairs we made our own dough. The people we paired up with were great, we each took turns at kneading the dough (and since you do this for such a long time - I was thankful!!!). But everyone of us got to put our dough through the pasta maker and create our own sheets of dough and fill/make our own raviolis. Same for linguini!! While you don’t get hands on with making the Marsala sauce - you do get a demonstration and are taught the steps. But during this time you get as much beer/wine as you’d like and ask away any questions. At the end of it all you enjoy such a nice dinner that you worked for! I would recommend to anybody who wants to learn and doesn’t mind a little bit of a crowd. My one feedback would be - prepared for this class to be 20-25 people, it’s not an intimate group. But you make it what you want and we loved every minute!!!

Fun cooking night in Boston

MaryEllen_K, Dec 2022

Chef John and his crew were fun instructors! We made delicious ravioli, fettuccine noodle, chicken Marsala and tiramisu! Food was delicious and even took home leftovers

Would happily do it again

Jennifer_S, Dec 2022

Fun times had by everyone! Great to do for any occasion. The food was amazing and the staff was attentive and interactive!

So much food, so much fun!

Alyssa_M, Oct 2022

This whole experience was great! I had never done a cooking class before and this was definitely a good class to start with. All the staff members were more than welcoming and very willing to answer any questions that came up. Plus the food was amazing! This was great for people of all cooking abilities and I’d love to do it again!

Lots of missed details

Latisha_G, Sept 2022

The chef and fellow members of the class were awesome! The chef was extremely knowledgeable, shared great tips, and was extremely inclusive of the entire group. However, during the class there were several shared stations, which meant we did not actually prepare many portions of the meal. In fact, there were times when I had to ask others in the group if I could help or I would not have had an opportunity to make our meal. I would have expected that each pair or group would have been provided their own ingredients to prepare the meal but that was not the case at all. There were several parts of the meal the chef prepared so we were unsure of the recipes, ingredients and amounts used to prepare the meal. This impacted our ability to have a hands on experience, which is why we took the course. There would be no way we could recreate the meal that was made during our course. Additionally, there were no recipes provided during the class and we were told they could be located on the website. After Googling, I was unable to locate the recipes on the course site. I had to email to ask for the recipes. I was provided with the recipes but believe that they should have been provided while at the course or at the very least emailed. If this information had been outlined on the site, it would have helped create a better understanding of what this course would have been like. For the price, no recipes, the lack of ability to recreate the meal, no individual stations, etc. I would say this experience left a great deal to be desired.

Not worth the price

Patricia_D, Aug 2022

Pasta undercooked. Sauce not anything special. Meal not great. No wine options. Appetizer was just saltine crackers and a few meats.
