• 5/5 from Alex Milne, attended Aug 2026: This class was so much fun! I didnt really know what to expect as this was bought for me as a gift and I was a little sceptical, but I was proven so wrong! Chef Antonella was so welcoming and knowledgeable, we made 2 delicious pastas and a fantastic dessert. I have made the roast sausage pasta dish for my family twice since attending this class two weeks ago along the the dessert and it is just as great when made at home (unsupervised by a chef haha) Highly recommend this class to anyone wanting a fun night (it made a great date night) and some delicious food

The food was delicious and I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning how to make pasta to undertake this with Antonella.

• 5/5 from Anne-Marie Sirca, attended Jan 2026: Fun family activity learning recipes that my teens loved to eat. Lots of interesting facts along the way and answers to questions like should you put olive oil in the pasta water or not, the trick of adding salt when the water has already boiled, what types of flour and where to buy, egg pasta versus semolina pasta and different pasta shapes for different sauces. Freezing pasta, and then cooking it from frozen, not thawed! The flavours of the recipes meant that my kids actually ate mushrooms and tomatoes without needing picking them out. Genius! Thank you Antonella and Chris for a great evening, we’ll be back for the next class.

• 5/5 from Aprille Lozano, attended Oct 2025: Chef Antonella was absolutely amazing! The fresh pasta-making class was such a fun and unique idea for my hen’s party, and it turned out even better than I imagined. We had so much fun learning how to make pasta from scratch, and the sauces were absolutely delicious, full of flavour and made with so much care. One of the highlights for me was making tiramisu, which is my all-time favourite dessert. It wasn’t originally part of the class, but Chef Antonella was so kind and accommodating. She added it specially for me, and it turned out incredible. Everyone loved it! Even my fiancé joined in, and we all had such a great time cooking, laughing, and enjoying the food together. I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s perfect for a celebration, a group activity, or anyone who just loves good food and good company!

• 5/5 from Ydonna Dutfield, attended Jun 2025: We had an absolutely amazing time at the pasta and sauce making class with Chef Antonella! I booked it as a birthday surprise for my husband, and our friend joined us for what turned into a lovely double birthday celebration. None of us had ever made pasta before, but Antonella made everything feel approachable and enjoyable. She was a fantastic teacher—warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She guided us step by step through making both egg and semolina dough, explaining the differences clearly and offering individual help throughout. We made fettuccine, casarecce, and fusilli, and also prepared two delicious sauces: a rich boscaiola and a hearty tomato and sausage sauce. We tasted everything as we went along, which was fun and gave us a great sense of how all the elements came together. Antonella hosted us in her beautiful home, where she had prepared a lovely dinner table for us to sit, chat, and enjoy each other’s company. We brought our own drinks, which made the atmosphere even more relaxed and enjoyable. The class felt very personalised—Antonella answered all our questions, gave us detailed guidance, and created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. To finish, we made a quick and easy dessert, which she presented beautifully with candles to celebrate both birthdays. It was such a thoughtful and special touch. I highly recommend this class—especially with Chef Antonella. It’s the perfect hands-on experience for anyone wanting to try something new, learn a traditional skill, or celebrate a special occasion in a unique and memorable way.
