Recent reviews of Italian Cooking Class: Pasta from Scratch

  • 1/5 from Melissa Romero, attended Aug 2026: This was a complete scam. Do not pay $125 per ticket for this. I was absolutely shocked when I walked in the room and thought maybe it would get better, but it kept getting worse and worse. This guy is not professional in the least bit. There was not a sink in the room. The sink was all the way down the hall and was some kind of public break room?? The water source was a crystal geyser jug. The word "Hors d'oeuvres" is crazy because it was trader joes bread and the trader joes goat cheese with blueberries. He made us cut the bread and everything and later bragged that the way he skirts around food and safety rules is because technically he's not cooking for us. He had changed the location the day before and I asked during the class what the other location listed on ClassBento is, he said it's a dance studio that doesn't even have a sink. He laughed about it. He took the salad out of a container with his bare hands and me and the other people in the class exchanged a horrified look. He had a tray that had raw sausage residue right next to the fresh salad that he just took out with his bare hands. Oh and he used the spatula sitting on the raw meat residue plate a few times with food that was cooking. He bought everything from the literal dollar store and kept saying "oh i forgot my nice apron", "oh I forgot the mushrooms", "oh i forgot the vest for my therapy dog", "oh i usually get ingredients at corti bros but i didn't have time today", I think he may have also forgotten to spend the money we paid because where did that go? I'd love to know. I love dogs and I support therapy dogs, but on top of how unsanitary this already was, why was there a dog in the room?? He left the room to go to his car?? while there was hot oil on a pan on the induction stove. This was a nightmare. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this scammer. This guy and ClassBento seem to think there is nothing wrong with any of this.
  • 5/5 from Betsy Lutz, attended Mar 2024: James was great, super nice, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We made gnocchetti and helped with the ragout. Learned a lot and had fun, too! The dancing was a fun surprise.
