We had a great experience with Chef Andrea! He made us feel very welcome right from the start. His stories from when he was in Italy and how he got into cooking were very interesting and made us feel connected! His recipes were amazing, and the gnocchi were butter-soft! Loved every bit of it! Can't wait to try these recipes again at home!

Chef Andrea was very personable. We loved the stories of how he learned his father's recipes and passes them on to his clients. The gnocchi and sauce recipes will be used by all of us. They were delicious...as well as the appetizer, salad and cake. We loved everything.

Such a great experience! Chef Andrea is so knowledgeable about cooking techniques and he made the class very fun. He has great stories to tell and the 3 types of gnocchi we made all tasted amazing! He sent us the recipes after too and I’m making one tomorrow. I did this with my sister and there were 2 other pairs - a couple, and mom/son. You will have fun doing this with anyone who enjoys cooking. Thanks a lot Andrea!

Loved it! Chef Andrea was a good teacher - he made everyone feel comfortable with one another and with the recipes. He went out of his way to accommodate particular diets, and even made his own ricotta for our gnocchi. We left full and happy and confident in our newfound skills. We’ll be back!

This was one of the best cooking experiences I have ever had and I did take many cooking classes. Location of the chef's house is so perfect: central, warm, and inviting. His kitchen accomodat6ed easily the 6 of us. Easy to follow recipes, lots of hands on. A wonderful way to meet strangers and share a meal. I went with my partner, and it was his first time taking a cooki8ng class. He loved it. The chef's stories about Italy and his family are making the class more authentic. Thank you

The most relaxing Sunday ever! Chef Andrea taught us the basics of making ravioli and made us practice the most important part - the dough and rolling it into sheets. While the fillings were premade, he did provide recipe cards for them as well as suggested sauce recipes. After a very therapeutic session of making the ravioli, we sat down for lunch to a salad (one of the best I have had so far), ravioli (the ones we had made ourselves) and dessert. The fact that there were absolutely no leftovers was proof enough to how good the food was. Chef Andrea was very friendly, answered all our questions and had a very clean kitchen. Highly recommend this class for a couples date night or weekend with friends!

For one of our bachelorette weekend activities, we decided to do the ravioli making class with Chef Andrea and we left with very happy stomachs and hearts. Chef Andrea was kind, communicative, and an all around great person -- it was a true pleasure to have him as our pasta guru. We had such a fun time making beautiful and delicious pasta at his cozy home! Highly recommend to anybody!

Hands down one of the best cooking classes I've taken! We really enjoyed our time with Chef Andrea. He was so knowledgeable and a wonderful host. I'd love to take another one of his classes!

Rachel

My parents, husband, and I all attended the class, as a birthday gift to my dad. We hadn’t done anything like this before, where we could take a cooking class at the chef’s home. It was such a fun and unique experience. Chef Andrea is so nice and welcoming, guiding us through the whole ravioli making process. With a lot of cooking classes there is little hands on time. This was not the case with this class. We each made our own dough from scratch, used the pasta machines and pasta molds, and stuffed the pasta with filling. Being able to do the steps ourselves, with Chef Andrea talking us through and answering questions, really helped us learn how to make the ravioli. Eventually we sat down at the table, while Chef Andrea boiled the pasta and made sauces to go with it. It was so delicious, and we ate all of the ravioli! He also served us a wonderful salad and decadent dessert. As a helpful reminder, we were all given a recipe sheet to take home. My dad loved his gift and ended up buying his own pasta machine to try out at home. I highly recommend this class and Chef Andrea!

My grandmother, mother, mother-in-law and aunt (all visiting from out of town) and I all took Andrea's ravioli class and absolutely loved it!! Andrea was hilarious, fun and very knowledgeable. We learned so much in such a short amount of time - and enjoyed a delicious dinner in the end. Thanks to Andrea for such a wonderful experience - looking forward to booking another class in the future.

I bought this as a surprise for my boyfriend, as he likes Italian food and I thought it would be a super fun date night in Seattle. Chef Andrea is amazing, we got lucky and no one else booked so it was just the two of us so it felt like a very personalized experience, we got to learn all about his life and he did a really nice job teaching us how to make pasta, he didn't make it rushed and let us take our time and never made us feel like we were screwing up. He has a beautiful home and works really hard so I definitely would recommend this experience, and Tim! His salad and dessert afterward delicious also!

Monica

Rachel

We absolutely loved our experience with Chef Andreal! The class was really hands-on, which was exactly what we were looking for, and the ravioli we made were delicious. Chef Andrea led a great class. He demonstrated making ravioli, then had us all make ravioli at the same time for about a half hour. We used both manual and automatic pasta machines so the time was broken up well. Then, he let us sit down and enjoy a salad while he cooked the ravioli and added sauce. We ate when he was done and I was so impressed! Everything we made was delicious. I feel like I could actually recreate it at home, too. Would definitely recommend a class with Chef Andrea!

Elizabeth

Chef Andrea offered such a fun class. We absolutely loved making ravioli and he was an awesome instructor. It had a great mixture of hands on and observation aspects. The different types of filling were all so good. He also gave us a slice of his home made almond lemon cake at the end of dinner. It was such a fun way to spend the evening. I would definitely do this again and recommend to a friend! Thank you Chef!

My team thoroughly enjoyed the Rainbow Ravioli experience with Chef Andrea. When we arrived, everything was setup and ready to go. Andrea guided us through all the steps and made the experience really enjoyable. The filling and sauces were so yummy and added bonus were the amazing homemade salad and deserts Andrea provided. Andrea even provided recipes for those! Would not hesitate to recommend! Thanks Chef Andrea.

I booked this cooking class for my friends as a Christmas gift and they enjoyed it very much. They said the group was fun and Andrea was fantastic. They said the food was awesome and are still talking about how they want to get the same ravioli machine :) Andrea was also very responsive and went above and beyond to acommodate a lactose intolerant guest. I highly recommend his classes and will certainly consider booking one for me or as a gift in the future

I gave this course as a gift. On my end, Chef Andrea was easy to communicate with and accommodating. My sister and her boyfriend, who attended the class, enjoyed it a lot. I was told that it was fun and tasty, and they enjoyed the experience a lot.

Sarah

Chef Andrea was quite professional as well has humorous. The entire night was educational yet light hearted. He had two fillings prepared for the ravioli, and showed us how to make the dough before we all took a shot at it. The end result was both visually stunning and delicious. I'd definity recommend this class. The small group meant a lot of individual attention and a relaxed pace.

Lauren

Chef Andrea was the best! If I could leave 100 stars I would. The class size is just the right amount of people as you get hands one on one learning. We flew all the way from MN and this was the best way to start off our trip in Seattle. My husband was nervous going into it that it would be a waste of time but he loved it! Bring a bottle of Champaign & the hours will fly by! Delicious and the best! Highly recommend it!

Fun experience! Chef Andrea had a really nice set up for everyone to learn how to make pasta. He explained well and we learned a lot about pasta making. At the end we get to eat what we made!

Chef Andrea was wonderful! We had a great time learning how to make pasta under his instruction. He's passionate about cooking and a lovely host. Our dinner was fantastic, but the cake that the Chef made for us was out-of-this-world good. I also loved that he shared the recipes with us afterwards. I would highly recommend this as a dinner, work event, or just a fun night with friends.

Wonderful experience!!! Chef Andrea was great and helped answer all our questions. It did not feel like we met him for the first time which says a lot. Great teacher and we had fun creating the colorful pasta with natural coloring. It tasted awesome !!! He had multiple fillings and sauces to provide us with variety. Five starts from us for Chef Andrea and the overall experience.

Andrea was so knowledgeable, helpful and fun to spend time with! Not only did he also prepare a salad but made us the most fantastic dessert to enjoy after spending the afternoon crafting cute little raviolis of all kinds! A wonderful way to get to know some new people and enjoy great food!
