Recent reviews of Handmade Pasta Cooking Workshop

  • 5/5 from Jeremy Lockwood, attended Aug 2026: It was a great class. The teacher was personable and knowledgeable. He was patient with us, but helped us learn. We left with a working knowledge of the pastas we made and the recipes we cooked. And the food was delicious! I can’t believe we were the ones who made. We have a full meal that we enjoyed with each other. I will 100% take another class with through ClassBento and Life+

  • 5/5 from Jeff Cafuir, attended Jun 2026: Teacher was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the concepts behind the cooking, which I appreciated. Recommend this as a fun (and delicious) team building activity.
