  • 5/5 from Andrew Scott, attended Jun 2026: What a fantastic Team Building event. We have a sales team with an age range from 23 to 73 and everyone had a great night with Stef and Jason. It was great to learn some traditional italian cooking techniques. I'm a keen home cook but have never been brave enough to attempt Gnocchi. Stef demystified the whole process and sitting down to eat what we had made as a team was a great reward and fun way to get to know each other better. Thanks Stafeano, we will definitely be back for more.
